Despite overcast skies, 40+ degree temperatures and a chilly wind, we set off at 11 am for another hike in the Nature Preserve.

There was some mud on the trail from rains earlier in the week, which occasionally made footing a bit dicey.

As always, the incredible beauty of the Earth was deeply inspiring, offering a stark contrast to political chicanery and horror shows. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful places so nearby, where we can connect with spirit and the vastness of being.
