This is where I'd much rather be right now. Outdoors, in the woods, with lots of fresh air. Mmmmmm.

Thursday is our Customer Appreciation thingy, and the big bosses have been obsessing about the state of the office all day. My cube is probably the neatest & cleanest it's ever been, and the whole front office has been cleaned & straightened. I guess it's Spring Cleaning Day at Reminder Publications! The trick, of course, is to keep it looking this good for the next three days.

That's Where I Want To Be Too

I'm looking at the picture and trying not to cry here at work. Not professional, you know.

I haven't been out of the &*($@#$ city in I-don't-know-how-long.

Minnehaha Falls Park is a nice park, but it's still in the middle of a city, and there's nowhere where you can reliably expect to be free of human interruptions for more than three seconds.

Yes, I didn't get a lot of sleep last weekend, so I'm a little more emotional than usual.

*snf*

Awww, honey! Hugs! I don't think I could live in a city.

Hey, is that the park in War for the Oaks?

Thanks, sweetie.

I've always hated cities. Sadly, that's where the jobs is.

Yeah, I believe so.

Ever since I've been living here, a friend of mine has been promising to lead a "War For The Oak" tour of the Twin Cities.

I ain't holdin' my breath.

Now that I think about it, though, it's time to reread that book.

That's a great photo - it really draws you in! It makes me think, Yeah, I could be there right now ... just a few steps ...

[lizziebelle.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That's why I took it; to take me back there. :)

Where was the photo taken? It's absolutely lovely. And yeah, can I get in on that nature walk?

[lizziebelle.livejournal.com]

It's the wildlife sanctuary at Stanley Park. You must come down to Westfield and I'll take you there. :)

Oooh, I'd love to be there, too.

[lizziebelle.livejournal.com]

My favorite place to be is in the woods. :)

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Me, too!

I grew up in Tennessee, and there were woods all behind and around our house. Sometimes, I miss them sooooo much.

But, I've found an area here in LA County where there are lots of trees and wildlife, and lots of "green" energy that makes me happy.
