Shepherd's Vineyard's grand greenway

Shepherd's Vineyard Greenway has been a delight to our family for 20 years. All of our children have played there. Our dogs Flash, Charlie, and now Wyatt, have loved walking, sniffing, and running along the well worn path. (We even scattered our Charlie's ashes through the grassy edges of the greenway one Father's Day afternoon)
Tall hardwood and pine trees tower overhead.
A small creek runs along the walkway most of the year, unless the weather is unusually dry.

We greet numerous people and dogs daily--Wyatt and I are out every morning.
Joggers, bikers, walkers, runners, kids playing in/beside the creek, squirrels, and rabbits spend countless hours there. (I'm sure cats quietly, silently, explore as well.) "Barefoot Bob and Daisy" are two of our favorite walking neighbors, always greeting us with a happy smile and a wagging tail :)

This pathway is one of my very favorite things about living in the Vineyard.
One end leads to the pool and to the library. What more could you ask for on a warm summer day? Even checking out a book after an invigorating walk on a winter's day, then returning home to read by a fire, is a treat.
Such a pretty hike, just across the street from 1327 Apache Lane:)
Whoa and amen!

BTW, this photo was taken Thanksgiving Day 2007. Such a gorgeous November fall day!
