Somehow I seem to be always busy during weekends recently. Actually... I just tell myself that I'm busy, but in fact I do nothing. Well, maybe not nothing, I do some cleaning, laundry and shopping, I've even managed to plant all the offspring of Voodoo Lillies and some type of Oxalis that survived last year (unfortunately all my Oca - edible Oxalis Tuberosa - was effectively killed by aphids). Not feeling too well, but also not sick. I stay up late, even more than usual, and wake up late, so by the time I'm relatively awake, half of the day is already gone.Whaaa? It's spring already? Let me sleep just five more days...
Last Saturday I decided to break the state of torpor and go visit the forest. After all it is the middle of spring and I haven't gone on a walk since winter. Not the usual forest, because I got up at 2 PM and when I was ready it was already 4 PM, I'd have to drive there, which would take additional time, besides spring is the time Mokrznia lives up to its name the most - do not enter without tall gumboots.
I live pretty close to other forest. It is in fact just a 500 meter wide swath of trees separating subdivision where I live from the busy expressway. I haven't visited it in like 20 years. There are two reasons. First, I can go there any time I want (I have the same problem with books and mangas - if they are online where they can disappear, I read them, but when I buy them in paper, they just pile up on the hassock waiting forever for their turn). Second, that forest is not pleasant - it is messy, for lack of better word. A lot of people go there and litter, but also the forest itself is unarranged, lacks a "main theme" of sort. Despite lack of distinct undergrowth, it is not easy
to walk off track, mostly because of bomb craters and tall soil banks - the terrain was some line of defense during World War II, there are even "mushroom" bunkers here and there.Some are buried in the soil......
Thank you
