Yesterday, on my way into the studio, I took an impromptu detour onto a road marked The Hollows<\/a>\u00a0that I\u2019ve been intrigued by for a while, thinking it might be a good place to go for a walk. Charlotte and Daisy Mouse were with me, and the truth is, we could all use a little more exercise.<\/p>\n

\"Sunday<\/p>\n

While we were there, we explored lakes and wetlands ringed by tall prairie grass and cattails, walked through a forest, came across an old fashioned drinking fountain pump, and encountered a few liberated gnomes<\/a>,\u00a0who had been restored to the wild, as part of the local conservation effort. At first Charlotte got very excited, mistaking them for\u00a0Keebler cookie elves<\/a>. While they teased her about that, they didn\u2019t take offense, and later showed her the best place to take a catnap, on a soft bed of rushes at the water\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n

I took these snapshots with my phone\u2014not great quality, but a good enough reminder of a very pleasant Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Since Charlotte really isn\u2019t all that outdoorsy, I\u2019ll likely come back here on my own sometime soon, to enjoy the scenery and go for another walk. It\u2019s a really beautiful place, even on a cool and overcast day.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, hope y\u2019all had an excellent weekend, and stored up plenty of R&R to fortify you throughout the coming work week. Happy Monday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
