I was lured into the shoe store on Saturday because they were advertising "1/2 of 1/2 off". These hiking boots didn't qualify, but I had to have them. I was drawn to the subtle lavender and mauve trimmed taupe color. Saturday was rainy, but Sunday was lovely.

I sprinted up the end of Center Street hill to the apartments that overlook our city of the hills. I was feeling good in my new boots.

I cut into the woods above the park. I took this picture where the light pooled. I was feeling good in my new boots.

An hour and a half and three-plus miles later, I sat at the memorial garden behind the high school. I could get LTE there and read the frost advisory alert. I was confident enough to know that it wouldn't get us. There's still good hiking ahead of us before the snow flies.
