What is there more enticing than a path? And few are as welcoming as the one my daughter-in-law Lisa has created through the woods behind their house in Vermont. It has the features you want in a fine path:
1) The invitation of a slightly challenging entrance with a sturdy banister to help you over the ancient stone wall into the woods beyond. Lisa crafted the banister by wedging a fallen branch between adjacent boulders and tree trunks, sure and steady:
2) A clear route into the unknown:
3) A loyal dog to lead the way:
4) Or two dogs, even better:
5) A good place to drop your glasses for Lisa to find on the next day’s walk:
6) A bench for a momentary rest…
7) A tree trunk doorway from one level to the next:
8) A rotting foot bridge over a shallow ravine:
9) A new sturdy footbridge across a deeper wider chasm:
10) Natural branch borders to mark the way:
11) Pavers in muddy places:
12) A log to step over here and there:

I just took this walk with you in my mind.
I love the slow reveal. Love stories with pictures!!
Great to see you here, Liz! ❤️ I’m still figuring out how to use the new configuration and learning how to reply to comments. Hope this comes through!
Hi Jane! I always like the visual layer too. I see that my response to Liz said it was from anonymous. Trying something different here. Hope it works!
