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 Visitor Center. The first walk will be on September 2 and will be led by Sandy Creek's expert naturalist Carmen Champaign.
