ah summer

As should be somewhat obvious from my new header . . . I'm about to "go all nature freak."

Of late I've been walking the cross country trails taking pictures, and picking berries . . . I'll post the pictures soon . . . the berries, I'm not sharing. I've caught myself staring out the windows of my truck as I drive . . . occasionally at times when I really should be watching the road, oops. I had a box of fresh blueberries for breakfast this morning . . . perhaps not the smartest thing, but that remains to be seen. Mmm, tasty.

Having spent the vast majority of the last couple weeks in Corbitt, usually in rooms without windows, I'm craving walks outside, or really anything outside. Seth mentioned that his dad would be doing straw on the farm on Saturday . . . so we're going to help, I think. Hey, it's outside! The only downside to my love of summer? It's HOT! I really hate being hot. If all the green growing things were so exciting and pretty when the weather was cooler, I'd be the happiest kid ever. Oh well, I'm sure there's a good reason why that wasn't in the plan.

If I was home it would be swim meets and sailboat regattas, but here in the midwest it's walks in the woods, and if I can ever find it open . . . trips to the indoor pool in the Luce Center. Oh well . . .
