Up the creek

The air was clear, the enclosing hills were varied greens, the water flowed chuckling through the rocks, and generally God was in his heaven and all was right with the world - or at least with the little world of Cedar Creek....The simple trail took the walkers to where the road ends, while the runners did a bit of rock-hopping to take them further upstream on the way towards Mt. Glorious. Some car-pooling delivered the gang to the hares' place afterwards, where we tucked into some chicken stew, veg curry and rice, followed by berry crumble and - courtesy of Miss Demeanour - liquorice!

Spring has sprung, but many wrapped themselves in blankies as the evening drew in. And Shockjock was awarded a down, down for embracing a strange woman he encountered on the run. It turned out that she was one of Miss Demeanour's best friends...does that make his actions better or worse?

On the shady side of the street

Fathers' Day 2026 was marked by a sudden leap in temperature, up to the mid-30s! Thanks to Upstanding for getting out in the heat to mark a trail. And a special thanks to him for modifying his plans and keeping that trail on the flat and on the shady side of the street....Housing upgrades in Wilston continue to astound, and the local school is evidently suffering from a lack of enrolments, since young families can't afford to live in the area, or at least to have children there. Interesting.

Prompted by the heat, a proposal to move to a summer start time earlier this year was discussed in the circle. So this year we may not wait until Halloween to make the change. Fortunately, the temperature for next Sunday is predicted to be more in keeping with the season.

And as the sun set and a breeze sprang up, conditions in our hares' back yard grew very pleasant. Thank very much to our hares for their hospitality!
