This forest is awesome. It is cool and a little dark where we walk - the sun filters through above - it is magical.
The trees wrapping around one another as they grow. I would like to live in this forest. I could use SOMETHING wrapping around me:)
It's a little like a wonderland - I expect pixies to leap out at any point - Heinze loves it too. I wish the deer...

Well another man ( a regular ...3 Recommendations13 Comments

Losing that pressure to be something I'm not has been a life-saver this week. After taking Mike with me to the Dr and him promising to refer Dan back to the chest clinic, I went on my own with Dan and he would not refer him.
