A Few Minutes at Mt Pleasant

I went to Howard County Conservancy’s Mt. Pleasant for a couple of Winter Wellness presentations (for the HCC volunteers) on a cold bluster day. It had been over a month since I had been but it was not a good day for lingering outdoors – even though the sun was shining, it was not one of those ‘colder-than-it-looks’ days. All the leaves were blown off the deciduous trees and the flower beds were brown or very wilted green. The hay field to the left of the drive as I drove in had been cut and the round bales left in the field.

I parked as close as I could and took a picture of the farmhouse as I walked in. The big tree that previously hid the left side of the house was cut down in 2019 and the new walk was installed. It gives the area a more open – and formalized – look. The flowerpot people still look a little Christmassy…but at least the hats and scarves were staying in place even with the blustery wind. I took that picture on the way out.

Overall…it was only a few minutes outdoors – good bookends for the lectures.
