weekending

Before it's too late... I want to pack up the car and drive. I want to set up our bright red tent.  I want to gather kindling. I want to watch the fire crackle and dance. I want to roast my marshmallows on a stick til they are good and dark, then peel off that crispy burnt skin with my fingers and eat it. I want to look up at the night sky and feel tiny in this big world. I want to smell like woodsmoke and bacon.  I want to hear them breathing as they sleep next to me. I want to hear the mournful cry of a loon.  I want to seek tiny mushrooms in the damp woods. I want my nose to be red and chilly in the early morning air. I want to layer up, cuddle up, soak it up. I want to breath a little deeper,  see a little more clearer, unplug, unwind, and recharge. This weekend, I want to go camping... one last time this year.

Kristen ~ I just want to tell you that your post touched something deep inside of me. It reminded me of when my boys were young and we were quite seasoned campers. Your words brought that back to me. Thank you
