A Walk in the Woods: Highland Cemetery Nature Trails
Yesterday the sun was shining, the air was crisp & the sky was blue. And I longed to be outside. So the kids and I shunned the to-do list for a few hours and took a nice long walk in the woods. We talked about nature, discovered new paths, stopped & listened to the sounds...
