Barefeet and Peepers

Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was warm and humid and the air was heavy with the scent of a looming storm. I had a beautiful salad of kale, chard, radishes, and shredded beets, apples, and carrots. So many yummy colors and tastes.

I ended up going to pinkney recreation area with a friend to go hiking. It was so warm that we decided to take off our shoes to better feel the earth under our feet. We hiked the 6 mile loop around crooked lake, stopping often to listen to the chorus of peepers in the ponds. At times they were so loud it was almost deafening.

Our feet were a little muddy and sore by the end but it was refreshing to be so liberated from the heavy layers we have been wrapped in for the past 6 months. I think it would be fun to walk barefoot in a summer rain. I can't wait for the warm weather to stay.
