I take the same walk every day and every day it’s different. Today, I was heading down the sidewalk past the big grassy park dotted with hickory and burr oak trees when these gorgeous golden hickory trees shouted at me to come play with them.
So, across the dewy, frosty grass I slogged with baby bouncing in the stroller and puppy pulling at us from every direction at once. My shoes got soaked, my puppy got soaked (not that she minded!) and my baby got grumpy (because we paused for a few minutes to take photos and ogle at the golden wonder that is a shagbark hickory in it’s finest golden fall foliage.)
It was worth it!
Take the path less travelled. Get your shoes wet, cut across lawns, hop over low stone walls, walk around to the other side of the tree. Wonder is waiting around every corner!
