Last night Greg and I went for a walk on the newly opened leg of the Towpath. When complete, the Towpath will run from Cleveland to New Philadelphia. The new section connects to downtown Akron with a dramatic bridge over state route 59. It was uphill the entire way to downtown. The walk back was…
a summer strawberry saturday
The strawberries at the market looked really great today. We're going over to Tom & Brett's for dinner and games tonight.
