jacobsburg state park

Although utterly exhausted from work I decided

to take a short walk around Jacobsburg State Park this afternoon.

It felt like snow as the the air was crisp and cold.

I walked around an abandoned quarry and sat for a while

watching as icicles fell into the dark water, echoing off the slate walls.

Down by the creek I slipped on the muddy bank.

My left hand went out to break my fall and landed in a sticker bush.

I pulled out the thorns, brushed off my muddy bum and turned for home.

Despite the mishaps it felt good to clear my head and breathe the fresh air.

Home to a big lunch then I crawled under the covers for a long nap.

More busy days ahead.
