Lydia and I decided to spend some time enjoying the great outdoors by exploring an area close to where we live.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2853\/10503999664_c8b427f080.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nWe started by walking down a path in a natural prairie area. This grass was taller than us, imagine what it must have been like for explorers and settlers to walk for miles in grass like this.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5484\/10503965835_f23576548b.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nAfter awhile we came to a clearing where the grass was laying down and we were able to sit and soak up some of the warm afternoon sun. We didn\u2019t stay long because we could see a wooded area that Lydia was anxious to explore.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7373\/10504010306_004c9608c7.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nWe had just started walking in the wooded area when Lydia saw something at the edge of the trail, she called me over to look.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5521\/10504192183_20d462c645.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nShe had found mushrooms growing on a fallen log. I wanted to know what type of mushroom they were and if they were poisonous. We didn\u2019t touch them just to be safe, but we looked at them really closely so we could try to identify them when we got home.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7335\/10503942116_5262273fa9.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nA bit further down the trail there was a small path that led into this natural shelter created by fallen trees.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3726\/10503958066_19fa6d1174.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nWe spent some time in the natural shelter pretending that we were lost in the woods and we were going to make this our new home. I wanted to move sticks to make rooms and a bed with a leaf pile for a mattress but Lydia said that it was best for us to make the rooms with our imagination and leave the area undisturbed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5519\/10504210583_02816dd71e.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nAt the end of the trail we found this log and sat down for a rest before heading home.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5510\/10504122783_7846b75002.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nLydia said her favorite part was discovering the mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2838\/10503958834_4d114dd949.jpg\" alt=\" \" \/><br \/>\nDo you like to spend time in nature?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was my favorite type of fall day where the sun is warm and there a cool breeze to remind you that winter is on its way.
