oh, to be in the woods again

while i love my own far-away treks, with mountains,

great lakes, cup after cup of chai teas, time alone to think,

grow and create,

there is something oh-so-precious about close-to-home-adventures 

with my family. even with the infinite amounts of crazy that goes on, 

that one kid who gets tired after three steps, and then 

those two teenaged girls who didn't dress appropriately for the weather

(cough cough definitely not abbey & i)...

despite all that, and all the other complications,

it's the best time.

linking up with my sissy Abs and her lovely photographs.
