As long as there's a little breeze and the morning temps are still in the 70s it's nice to hike deep into the forest.
And nothing feels better than stretching your legs and looking at all there is to see on a beautiful summer day.
I made a pretty tree mosaic after seeing the one my blog friend made last week. Traude's blog is HERE.
There's always a bird to hear and a few to spot in the branches.
And lots of wildflowers and butterflies. I even picked a few blackberries on this hike to eat on top of vanilla yogurt. Southern goodness. I can close my eyes and be transported to my childhood in Arkansas with the sweet and slightly bitter taste of the berries.
At the very end of our hike we saw Tommy the tortoise. We always look for him at this burrow but today he was at the top of the hill.
It looks like my hubby is saying, "No I think it's safe to go this way. I don't think there are any bears down there!"
He stopped and got still when some bikes came along. But he didn't completely pull into his shell.
It was the highlight of Hike #84!
We'll keep hiking as long as we can. When we finish, the house is nice and cool and after a shower, you really feel refreshed and reenergized!
What's new in your world this week? Do you have big plans for the month of June?
