This evening my husband and I grabbed a bite to eat at a local eatery, called the Gold Nugget, before setting off on a walk on some local trails.
While I wasn’t getting steps as I ate dinner, I will share some pics because it fueled my walk. See what I did there? How’s that for tying it all together?
I had an amazing salad with grilled chicken, pears, candied walnuts, goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. Okay, I admit. I also had a glass of my favorite beer with it!
We set out on our walk directly from the restaurant. There are some parks with trails and some ponds and lakes and marshes right nearby.
It was a beautiful evening, and dusk was falling.
We navigated along a boardwalk, which runs through a marsh. I just loved the muted colors of the dusky sky and faded end-of-season cattails and reeds.
Here and there, some color still blooms.
The parks were so charming! With all that is going on in the world, it’s always a source of comfort to see simple parks and places where children play.
I was only able to take a few more pictures, as it was getting too dark. I evidently didn’t get the play structures!
We got back to the restaurant just as it was becoming truly dark!
Thanks very much for visiting my post!

The pictures are beautiful and the park is cute. Is it mainly for children?
There were play areas for children in one of the parks we visited, but I forgot to take a picture, alas.
Good food definitely fueled your @actifit steps today!!😀
Plus it sounds like a nice time going out to dinner with the hubby!😇😍
There's nothing like a great partner to hang out with, right? We are fortunate!
Absolutely @jayna Liz has been my best friend for 43 years!🥰
Enjoyable meal before a walk, relaxed in the dusk of evening, it looks good, both food and the path taken.
It felt like a mini adventure at the time. Thanks for stopping by, @joanstewart!
Sounds a delightful outing.
