Trail map run on USGS/hiking map at Hubbard/Fahnestock. Yellow trail through the Glynwood. I encounter a herd of pointy straight horned almost white cow. Not Swiss cows, definitely not. They look at me like I was a cow and don't move. So I move and go through the ditch. Next thing, the trail changes into a knee deep grass covered trace of a trail. Itch. Swell. Got to get through. Reach the woods and have a cool run down to stream, pond and up on the blue trail.

The haiku of the day, dedicated to a dazzling flowery surprise in the middle of the woods at a small pond.

All day writing tenses up my neck or whatever the reason, it doesn't matter, because my magic cure makes juices flow again.
Still impressed by the 4 pounds of strawberries from my garden. Always amazed to eat something that has grown out of my own soil and under my own work. The sense of being a little farmer. Or non-alienated food with a minimum amount of 20 meters of traveling between harvest and kitchen. And good. Amazingly good. Great.
