Greetings Steemit,

Life has been busy these days, in tune with the old saying "Nothing happens.. and nothing happens.. and nothing happens.. then EVERYTHING happens!". Counting the past several full moons passings, this holds true to be the case in my world.

Working 2 jobs, 6 days a week, leaves little free time to feel creative. Sadly my writing, droning, podcasting, and music pursuits have fallen off the mark due to other life productivity goals. That said, when the walls feel like they're going to close in on me, I'll find a manner to escape, seeking reset.

A few weeks ago I was treated to such an experience, when my loving girlfriend and I visited her father's property in scenic Cabool, Missouri. After the obligatory family social time was complete, we snagged a four-wheeler and headed out for adventure.

This post will highlight some of the sights & experiences we had that day.

Scenic Missouri forest

Tall Trees on a beautiful day

Wildflowers

Our companion for the day - Dad's doggo, taking a swim

Random bird nest on the trail

Exploring the woods

Enjoying my day - this is my happy face

The remains of a timber mill, burned to the ground long, long ago.

Puddles are fun

And lastly: my lady friend & I, smiling for the camera

Final verdict after a mild sunburn and an afternoon of adventure... I need more days like this in my life.

Cheers Steemit!
