Breathe the Fresh Air

Lately we have been experiencing great weather. What more could we ask for, especially in the months of January and February. Today is February 2nd and its Groundhog Day. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning. This means 6 more weeks of winter. So I am telling you to get out of the house and enjoy this nice weather while it lasts. I recently just went for a walk with a friend on a trail near my house. At first it was just a nice walk to catch up with each other. I really enjoyed the fresh air. But then we decided to go hiking at Dead Man’s Hollow. It was a great site to see one of the old factories which I believe was a brick factory. I faced some challenges of walking up hill with wet muddy leaves along with tree branches smacking back in my face. As we jumped across the small creek to get across to continue our journey, soon we had to turn around since our jumps were getting bigger and we were wearing mesh shoes which does not match well with water. It is a great feeling to take a chance on something that wasn’t planed. My advice is if you decide to go hiking make sure you wear old clothes and shoes that you won’t mind getting dirty. 

 Here is a photo I took while standing on a rock in the middle of the creek.

  1. Thank you! I thought by adding this photograph it added more of a visual for what I was describing.
