I woke up at 4AM and took an early morning hike through a nearby forest. It seemed small when I first went there, but I’ve since found out it’s 26 miles around and it’s right near another forest that’s just as big! There are endless trails and things to see. I tried a different entrance today and right after I walked in, I found a nice stream. Every time I go there I see some wildlife. I’m lucky it’s close by as it makes is easy to get back to nature.

When I got back, I put the window boxes on the house and planted a bunch of fruit trees. I’ve got apricots, apples from France from the early 1600’s, pears, goji berries, gooseberries, grapes, and a few more things. I seeded the window boxes and planted flowers in little pots to transplant into the yard when it gets a bit warmer too. I realize now looking at the house…it’s going to need to be painted soon. That’s a big job, but I’ve painted houses before… but what colors to use!?? If you have any ideas, send them along.
