The woods are so crunchy this time of year, I can’t resist.
I like to stomp around our back woods at least two times
a day. Yesterday the wind gusts were bragging to be 46
miles an hour. One of the ladies I play tennis with said she
was afraid to get hit in the eye with a leaf. For some crazy
reason that little comment stuck with me. My concern was not with
a leaf. Instead I was thinking of branches and walnuts dropping on
my head. After stepping into the woods I stopped and hustled back
up the hill to get my bike helmet! I did feel a tad crazy and left it
inside for my second sweep through the woods. Winds or no winds.
