Monadnock

This holiday Monday Hike Club headed back to Monadnock, one of our favorite mountains. It was a beautiful hike. Both parking lots were nearly full, yet we didn't have too much congestion on the trail. At the top there were about twenty groups of two to six people each.

We saw some pretty flowers, but the blueberries were still white. Despite the haziness we could see pretty far, scenic forest and other peaks. We also saw a white-striped sparrow (which Anne identified) very close up. It was singing for us and it was a very Mary Poppins moment when we stopped and watched him, just about a yard from us. I felt like if I stuck out my finger he might just hop on and continue singing.
