Woodland Holiday
July 01st, 2021
----------------------------------------
After 5 days in the remote woods I feel renewed. It was time spent reading,
writing, reflecting, whittling wood, fishing for supper, taking in the forests,
listening to brooks bubbling and birds singing, and mosquitos buzzing.

Butterflies and bees were abundant, so were fireflies at night. Mother grouse
with their flocks of fledgelings were common sights. A baby black bear came by
to say hello before running off again. Momma bear was not too far off.
