I was told about a little piece of herbal Eden when I first returned to Cincinnati back in March by a co-worker that frequents a lot of the Hamilton County (and beyond) Parks, weather permitting. I really do have to commend the park board of Hamilton County for doing a remarkable job in the face of a conservative sentiment. And, by no means, are these vast tracts of wilderness, but for Cincinnati, it's pretty good.
One such lot of land is Glenwood Gardens. I've run there a couple times on the crushed gravel path that meanders up and around the west fork of the Mill Creek and then finally finds its way back to the open field where it began. All in all, it's a little over two miles but it's a great getaway from my regular Simpson Loop.
So I took Erica there on Sunday to enjoy the day. We took our time taking in the sun. It just might be some of the last warming rays we get for a while. They also have a pretty rockin' playground if you've got some kids in tow.
Halloween was a resounding success on Wittekind. Erica has looked forward to handing out candy for years only to be let down time after time by a poor turnout. She was not to be denied in the C.Hill. We purchased 263 pieces of candy and somehow ran out. Accounting for a couple of taste tests and double dippers, we probably had 250 trick-or-treat'rs that night. It was a lot of fun to see the kids. Brought back good memories of our days on Nicklin.
