We’re visiting our niece. She wasn’t awake yet and we’re old, so we get up early. We went back to the arboretum to hike through the restored prairie. We’ve never hiked prairie trails and it was a beautiful morning filled with birdsong. (And the white noise of traffic on the adjacent Highway, but we forgot about that as we walked and were focused on the birds and plants.)
I love hiking with the Hot Wife. Best hiking partner ever. 🥾
