Cold hike.
Chilly day, windy day. Temps in the lower 20s (F), winds of 20 m.p.h and up. But that didn’t stop me and Jack from our afternoon hike up to the airy summit of Beech Hill.

Red, white, and blue.
We were the only ones up there. No birds even. I did see footprints—at least one other person (and one other dog) had preceded us.
I wore gloves for a change.

Beginning at 2:30 p.m., I hiked the open trail.
No birds seen or heard on the hill today.
