a day in the sun

I went hiking here this morning; it was absolutely beautiful. I was worried that the Arboretum would be packed with people for Memorial Day; frankly, I was worried that Moose Hill would be, too. It was just fine, though - I only saw about four other people the whole time I was on the trails.

There's something about hiking around in the woods by myself that makes everything seem like it's gonna be alright, after all.

Not that you asked, but a Mass Audubon membership is only $25, and it helps keep places like this protected and accessible. Plus you get a nifty sticker for sticking on things.
