Back to the Deep Dark Woods this week. Although I took a different path which was less dark.

It’s the end of May but it has been unseasonably cool and rainy. The weather for this walk was absolutely perfect, though. Everything is green and gold in the sun. It’s so peaceful. I do love being in the woods.

This “path” was tempting, but that’s a fae trap path if I ever saw one. I did not go down it.

I also did not go down this path, which was clearly off-limits.

Guys, don’t carve on trees. They didn’t ask for a tattoo.

The work in the garden was done so I got to wander this beautiful area. We used to get our kids’ pictures done when they were very small, and we had some in this herb garden. I’ve always loved the layout of the beds and the bricks, the trellis in the back, this cool thing in the center.

Also a big big fan of this gross face spewing gross water. He’s the best.

I really like this whole place, but the garden and fountain and arch and everything seemed especially magical to me on this trip.
I also made good on that promise to stick a copy of the book in the Little Free Library.


So if you’re anywhere localish to me and need a copy of The Way We Used to Walk, find the deep dark woods and grab it!
