A way through the woods


A way through the woods

Thanks to our wonderful friend Brenda, who came and loved on Maggie and Seth all day yesterday, Rebecca and I were able to go on an afternoon hike at Lake Houston Park. It was a stunningly beautiful day, and we enjoyed a 7 mile hike in (for us) a new park about 45 minutes north of us. We enjoyed the quiet of the piney woods, broken only by the keening cries of a pair of red tail hawks, the caws of a crow, a few frogs and the occasional grunt of a Harley downshifting off in the distance somewhere. We spotted raccoon and deer tracks, and left plenty of our own on one particularly muddy stretch. It was a much needed and life-giving afternoon - with the delight of having another place to explore in the future
