Here's (blurry) Leslie:
Before I moved to Massachusetts, I'd never lived in an area that was remotely urban, as it is here, and I really feared that my soul would shrivel and I might turn hard and sharp without the calming, nurturing influence of trees. Luckily, MA is actually pretty rich with nature, you just need to know where to look.
I live just twenty minutes away from Walden Pond. Let me tell you, Henry David got excited for a reason. Not that I want to give up modern conveniences and live in an 8' X 10' shack, but it's easy to see what the lure is. The weather yesterday was cool but fair, with sun peaking through the trees and clear water to sit and chat by.
I'm grateful.
