"Zen masters say you cannot see your reflection in running water, only in still water." - Elizabeth Gilbert, American journalist and author best known for her 2006 memoir, Eat, Pray, Love
It's the time of the year when we like to sit alongside a still pond or lake, or even a rushing river, and soak up those last warm rays as autumn continues its march toward winter. A place like Mountain Lake in Liberty Township, as seen in this photo by avid Warren County Wanderer Cortney Torres. And then, we like to head to a farm stand, orchard or cider mill to enjoy a taste of bounty of this beautiful county. Then maybe take in some live music, theater, an art show - we've got all that in store this week, plus puppies! Read on to see your options to find your fun, and Happy Wanderings!
