Wide sleeves sway.
Scents,
Sweet scents
Incessantly coming.
It is red lilies,
Lotus lilies,
Floating up,
And up,
Out of autumn mist.
Thin clouds
Puffed,
Fluttered,
Blown on a rippling wind
Through a mountain pass.
Young willow shoots
Touching,
Brushing,
The water
Of the garden pool.

Spring Mill State Park part 2
You can't go to a state park without taking a walk on at least one of their many trails in the woods.
We saw lots of big, old trees. Some were as old as 300 years!
One trail wrapped around a huge pond. At the edge of the pond was a small waterfall that lead into a creek. Seth stood on the top of it and froze his toes off. He looks pretty happy about the experience though.
And of course lots of pictures were taken of everyone . . .

Spring Mill State Park
Saturday our family spent a whole day at Spring Mill Park. It was super fun!
This little creek runs behind a small village.
The interiors of these old buildings were just as they might have been in the 1800's. In some buildings, volunteers were dressed as pioneers and performed various tasks. I watched some candle making and a lady baking over an open fire.
This is the meeting house. I preached a sermon in it but Seth fell asleep listening to me.
Even though it's the end of October, lots of things were still very green. It was a fun day trip!
