WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

Haven’t been in the woods much lately. Instead, I feel like a fish out of water down here in Florida for the week. Being here, I realize just how much of a “northerner” I really am. Beards & boots are rare here & for good reason. You can spot the recently arrived northerners by these 2 such traits. In any case, being here makes me realize how much I love 4 seasons, forests, streams, and mountains. However, these beaches sure are beautiful–white sand, deep blue water, and “Julyish” weather in December inspires one to be half-naked and in flip-flops all year round.
