When I walk out my front door, I'm surrounded by driveways and streets and houses and cars. Not the same thing at all. Still, I'm very grateful to live as close as I do to the woods. <br /><br />I miss our childhood home, and the little pool among the Ponderosa pines where we cooled off in the summer!<br /><br />I was actually thinking of McDonald Forest as I wrote these words, but Chip Ross runs a close second!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252374623355509404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971820842270330168.post-50471709866379595062011-10-04T21:35:24.056-07:002011-10-04T21:35:24.056-07:00Very beautiful, though I've always thought of ...Very beautiful, though I've always thought of you as living in the woods since they are only a few minutes drive away. When I lived in your town in an apartment, I thought of myself as living in the woods. It took 2.5 minutes to get to gorgeous hiking trails in the woods. Is the place you describe Chip Ross park. I pictured that park as you wrote about it. <br /><br />Loved your words. Miss the woods. Thought of childhood and lazy summer days climbing the rocks behind our home.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086758879445974042noreply@blogger.com
