A walk in the woods

I am trying to appriciate the nature around me more lately. Not many people do that these days. I mean yes, a person might notice a beautiful tree, or sunset, or body of water... but only when they get a chance to slow down and take that kind of stuff in. My sisters and i are making time for nature. Today we went on a hike in the woods, we had been there millions of times before but what made it special was that we had a different set of mind. The snow was melting and the stream was slowly flowing. We had decided to take a different path, one that we hadnt traveled before and soon realized why we dont go that way. There were to many houses in the distance, and even though you arnt supposed to hunt in these woods we found a hunters hide out. How depressing
Anyways it was cold, but very calming, and a good work out! Beth, Julia, and I all almost slipped and fell down one of the bigger frozen hills. YIKES! hahahah AND bethany and i both thought we were stepping on ice and ended up steping through a thin sheet of ice. We were in mud water shin deep! YUCK, and again, cold.
