Twenty-four ramblers met at the Arbor at
8:00AM on a beautiful day with temperatures in the mid-60s.  Martha shared a photo from the NY Times Magazine
with the title, “Nature does nothing in vain.” 
Rosemary shared a reading from Elizabeth Gilbert, “The Signature of All
Things,”  which was about mosses but you
could hardly guess until the end what she was discussing.  Fun.

Announcements:

  1. Next
    week’s ramble will start at 8:30AM!
  2. Sandy
    Creek Nature Center will resume their monthly guided trail walks in September.
    The walks begin at 9:00AM on the first Wednesday of the month; meet at the
