If you go down to the woods today...it will banish the winter blues

Doesn't do that for me - I hate walking with other people! Their pace is either too fast or too slow for me, or they TALK! Hate that. My favorite cat accompanies me most of the time. She's learned not to try tripping me & best of all - she doesn't talk. :D The only downside is needing to keep an eye out for bears & cougars. ;) |
ya, I always headed to the sea thru the woods after school. Needed the down time by myself.
Knowing what I do now, 10,000 units vitD3 is far more effective to killing SAD. Though I never pass up getting out in the wood....oh, wait, I live in the wood. |
When I go into the woods and it's only me, I always think about how lucky I am to have that.
I use to do that as a kid a lot. We lived in a subdivision surrounded by woods over a creek and there was an old wooden bridge that I would sit on for hours waiting and watching for animals to come out. I saw Red Fox, Deer, owls. I found an animal track that I took a pic of with a quarter next to it for comparison and had a specialist look at it because I didn't know if it was cat or canine. She said it was canine. This track is huge about the size of my St.Bernard. Probably a big wolf. There's also been a sighting of a black panther/couger for several years now in the area. One person even saw it with cubs. |
Being out in the woods brings peace. Good for the soul.

Amen to that! Which is why I live in the woods. And in case laziness makes me want to stay in the house, my animals need me - and the donkeys let me know! Which reminds me, I've got to go out & set up my trail camera. There's a critter living under the house - I've got to find out what it is. |

Possum or skunk? I would say Armadillo but you're not in Texas :lol: Yes, get it out. When they tunnel and dig they destabilize your foundation blocks. |
Here, that would be the ground hog. oh, the holes they dig!!!
Never thought of a trail camera, I just know from occassional glimpses the deer and coyote that cruise thru regularly as the trail is defined pretty welll. or was, havent looked in years.. |
Trail cameras are fun, the things I've seen that creep in the night!
Here we have moles which stay underground and burrow but they're usually out on pastures where roots are. |
Popping this to the top because it's that time of year again. I'm finally able to go for walks that are longer than the edge of the driveway with the trash. All the resting must have built up my reserves, because I'm deliberately going for a walk in a few minutes.
I was parking further away, like putting a park between me and my destination downtown, and yesterday I was out for 20 minutes until the rain chased me back to my car. I know all the level, easy, looping paths. This is the kind of exercise I like best. Nature exposure doubles the good effect. At least, for me! |
