But I guess if I were to live there, or be there for a longer stay, I'd start missing something without actually being able to put a finger on it - and I think it would be trees, too.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-81183837112552611612014-04-07T23:39:48.222+02:002014-04-07T23:39:48.222+02:00How nice to have a place which really satisfies yo...How nice to have a place which really satisfies you.

Thanks for linking to me, dear Meike!<br />Now, as much as I love my mountains (monadncocks), I love trees too! We have lots of trails at Arabia, Panola and Stone Mountain that go through a lot of beautiful woods and Richard and I spend a lot of time there, especially in the late spring and summer when it is WAY too hot to walk upon the solid rock of the monadnocks! Just yesterday, on the hike at Panola Mountain, the woods that we walked through to get to the mountain were enjoyed as much as the flowers on the mountain!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-33179896668770137312014-04-06T10:21:12.190+02:002014-04-06T10:21:12.190+02:00What a wonderful walk you had.

Of my truly great holiday in Yorkshire last year, when there was sunshine every day and not a single drop of rain during the entire time I spent there, the one event that stands out most shiny in my mind is the long walk on my own when I tried a different route from Ripon to Fountains Abbey.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-9669163422070228722014-04-05T16:06:00.088+02:002014-04-05T16:06:00.088+02:00How beautiful it all is....Your season is quite a ...How beautiful it all is....Your season is quite a bit ahead of ours this year.
