Things I Miss
I miss the walks in the forest, in particular in the spring when all the forest flowers come out and the fall when the leaves turn colour. In the north the woods are mainly evergreen, which are also beautiful but not as colourful as maple, for example. And I am not particularly keen on running into bears. Here are some of my photos from a previous and a more recent walk along the Avon Trail in Wilmot Township. It is a favourite trail as it is lightly travelled because it is hard to find and it is often very muddy. Teaka knows the trail well and can run off leash which is great after such a long car drive from Belle Vallee. Because of the lack of rain this summer the normal ponds of water or ponds of mud are dry so my dog was still fairly clean after a hike, which was nicer than travelling home again with a muddy dog. The things we do for love. 💛 It is good to miss things - the appreciation of them increases. I also miss the being able to have a regular bonfire. Fire restrictions exist...
