The last two cold, and rainy weekends delayed my planned return to Blackwater River State Park. Heading out Saturday morning, the sun was shining and I figured today was the day. The river, clear and clean, is the color of rooibos tea. Paired with the light, ecru sand - it looks like raw sugar - … Continue reading Walk in the woods

I'll admit to getting a little twitchy not being able to get out, but it was nice to hang with my daughter and have everyone home at the … Continue reading Escaping into the woods
