My thoughts released; a mind set free |
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written. |
We took the dogs over to Maplewood State Park for the afternoon. We usually just drive into the main camping area and let them run while we walk the loop they maintain for winter campers, but with the weather as nice as it is, there was actually someone set up to camp. We parked opposite them and let the dogs out for a bit, but another vehicle showed up with the same plans as us. Our dogs listen pretty well, but we didn't want to risk the other dogs coming over, not knowing how well they would get along, so we packed up and drove to a secondary, non-electric camping area. The road was still closed, so we parked along side the main road and walked back in. There wasn't anyone back there, so the dogs got to run and frolic while we hiked the partially snow covered road. It was a bit more difficult of a hike, despite being a gravel road; some places had wet snow, other places it was ice, and still others were muddy. But it was a nice mile hike back into the camping area. By the time we returned the dogs had run themselves out and we were all ready to return home. I had thought about packing some food and having a picnic, but it's still not quite nice enough. Another week or two of this weather should open up the road and we can purchase some firewood and have a nice picnic while we enjoy a fire and maybe even roast sausages over the flames. |
