Dark Park Camping - Just Whittling the Day Away
Today, I decided I was not going to get in my car. I was not going to drive miles to find a trailhead and go for a hike. I was not going to DO anything or GO anywhere. I would just hang out at camp and see how the day unfolded. What a great day!!!!! I loved today...
Walking through the fields at sunrise with the deer and plant life
Eating oatmeal and sipping hot tea, mesmerized by the morning campfire
Gathering wood for the evening campfire
Packing a picnic lunch and finding the perfect trees in the woods from which to hang my hammock
Reading "Braided Sweetgrass" while swinging in the cool afternoon shade
Searching the fields, hand cutting wildflowers, and collecting rocks, lichened bark and fallen colored leaves
Creating a centerpiece for fun
Whittling a piece of bark for hours... making NO thing...
My favorite part of the day...
Can't remember the last time I whittled?!?
