Into the Woods

I spend very little time outside in February. And the relative lack of snow has made the outdoors seem less inviting this year. But my boy and I are in danger of developing a serious case of cabin fever, so for my last week of "thing-a-day" I'm spending time outside. Just to be there. Tonight we went exploring in the Broadmead woods. D was drawn to the thorny thicket. I was drawn to the towering trees. We stayed until it was almost too dark to find our way out. Deeply satisfying.
