^XTREME yard work today. Cranked the mower wheels up to the highest setting, got my handheld pruners in my pocket and I ATTACKED THE WOODS. About once a year I like to create mystical pathways through the woods. Even if I end up being the only one who walks through them (and I usually am), it's worth the effort. It expands the visual space around the yard, and for anyone daring enough to walk the wide paths, they may find some nice surprises - interesting patterns of light and shadow, unique noises and a mystical experience.^
