A short walk at Mendon in the cold, wind, and rain

Ann and I wanted to get outside for a walk, despite the cold windy rainy weather, so we headed over to Mendon Ponds park to see the geese and walk on some trails I've never been on before (the cross country skiing/hiking/horseback riding trails in the eastern end of the park.) Only saw one family of geese, but the trails were very pretty and did a good job of keeping the wind off us (though it was a bit eerie listening to the trees creak and groan.) Off course it started raining just as we came off the trails (and while we still had a bit of a walk along the road to get back to the car) but that didn't last long. That's definitely a nice section of the park and one I'll have to do some running in this summer.
