Last Laugh

Care to Dance?
By Mary Broadbent Sullivan Wednesday, August 25, 2010

It's hard to refuse the invitation when Nature calls the tune. On a beautiful fall day I took a walk in the Exeter woods with my 6-year-old daughter Grace and my boyfriend Tom. We walked along the trail that curved around a beaver's pond, then up and down tree-covered drumlins, generously sprinkled with granite boulders. Grace chased Tom's two big black dogs as they sped back and forth trying to follow a thousand different scent trails at once. We crossed paths with several mountain bikers, dogs and walkers. We arrived at our halfway point, Fort Rock.
