I am so happy for you and your family. My husband is sitting with my mother right now so I can come home and take care of some things. It is such an adjustment. I always look at your blog when I come home for a few minutes. She lives at the edge of the forest and I live in the middle of a forest! It is beautiful. I dare to walk through the pit viper (copperheads, rattlers and moccasins) filled woods though. We used to spend alot of time in the woods as children, but now it seems the snakes have increased so much or back then we were so carefree we did not notice them.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Debra from SENC<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-69362177005784506682015-06-30T23:22:00.730-07:002015-06-30T23:22:00.730-07:00so true - I started hiking about 4 years ago when ...so true - I started hiking about 4 years ago when I was going through a really rough time and it has helped me so much - nature is good for the soul<br /><br />take care<br />MireilleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306048009690196205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-32733996530958161832015-06-30T21:38:15.446-07:002015-06-30T21:38:15.446-07:00Yes hot!
