Last Sunday I drove up to New Jersey to meet my friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lbilover at the Franklin Preserve State Park in the Pine Barrens. It was a long drive and totally worth it for her warm and comfortable company, along with the company of her sweet deerhound Gandy, the adventuresome Pippin, who I was very glad to get to see again, and the silky Clementine who joyed to show us the meaning of haste, and for the beauty of the pines. I sure miss living in an area well covered in evergreens, like there was in Carrboro, NC. Our hobbit dolls were also happy to see each other again. It was a gorgeous cool, sunny day, perfect for a 3 hour hike.
I tried to get a pic oflbilover with her whole pup family, but , being very busy pups, they were impatient with the whole process. Gandy here is blocking Clem and giggling about it, too.
And now Gandy has wandered off, but here's Pippin and Clementine.
Herding dogs is hard work.
I loved the blue sky reflected in the cranberry bogs.
I should have gotten some pics from the parts of our walk among the pines, but I was too busy enjoying myself, being in great company in a beautiful place. We had a tasty dinner at the Pic-A-Lilli Inn, in Shamong, NJ--a very hobbity little Pine Barrens Inn. It was an excellent little mini-moot. On the drive home I got to watch the crescent moon grow in size as it set on the horizon before me.
