#gotakeahike

Finally, @nomaddreamer and I had a chance to escape to the woods! Life has been extra busy since I’ve started going back to school & @nomaddreamer has decided to sell his gemstones & jewelry at

Today was just about the most perfect weather we could ask for here in the Ozarks, especially for this time of year. The temperature stayed below 80 Fahrenheit, the humidity was low, and the air was clear.

Down here in the Ozarks it was an overcast 88 degrees Fahrenheit by the thermometer today, but with humidity the “RealFeel” temp was 106… that’s some serious humidity. Unaware that the clouds were going

Finally, we’re getting a break from the extreme heat we’ve been having here in the Ozarks! Temperatures have been above 100 Fahrenheit for the last few weeks, and today it was a humid yet refreshing 89.

Summer is buzzing here in the Ozarks. Literally… the trees are filled with insects that never stop buzzing, chirping, humming. The humidity has been intense this summer, and the insects & mushrooms

It’s been quite awhile since @nomaddreamer and I have had time to hit our trail. Today found us with no plans aside from a few small errands. The heat didn’t seem unreasonable for a hike, only in the upper

@nomaddreamer and I hit our trail late in the day today. It was hot and humid, with no breeze through the trees at all. The air was heavy and I was sweating up a storm before I knew it! The forest brought

It was a beautiful day here in the Ozarks, warm but not too hot, and the sun was shining. @nomaddreamer and I hit our trail and found the peace of the woods welcoming us. The humidity and warmth have brought

It’s officially turtle season here in the Ozarks! @nomaddreamer and I have seen a few this week, but today they were all over our trail. It’s so much fun to see them, and they weren’t shy today. In this

Although @nomaddreamer and I hiked our usual trail today, I’m going to share pictures from a daytrip we took on Thursday to an Ozark cavern that we toured with my parents and my Aunt. We went to Blanchard

Today @nomaddreamer and I got the trail later than usual. It was nice for me to be back in the woods, away from the big city and all of the cars that go along with it. I love getting to be close to my

It’s raining outside right now, but @nomaddreamer and I were lucky enough to tromp through the forest this morning before it started. Good thing, because I’m headed down to the big city to see my parents

Hit the trail with @nomaddreamer today before he had to take off for work. We mixed it up and went the opposite way on our loop, for a bit of a change of pace. We were met right off the bat with our local

We’re finally getting back to normality here in #ozarklife. Our whole household is now Covid-19 free, so work and school have resumed. It’s fantastic to be able to talk face-to-face again with people,

Another successful hike on our #ozarklife trail for @nomaddreamer and me. We’ve been isolating in separate rooms; he and both of our kiddos have all tested positive for Covid-19 after I caught it, despite

I did it! The whole trail, 2.5 miles. It was slow-going, but I did it. That wouldn’t have been an achievement for me prior to the last month. Now, however, post-Covid, it was a great success. Wildflowers

The day started with rain, and a lot of it. It stopped just in time for @noamaddreamer and I to hit the trail with Mia the Wonder Aussie before the forecasted cold front came over our part of the Ozarks.

It was a cloud-covered day here in the Ozarks. At first, when we started our hike, the clouds blanketed the sky; just a gray cover. They started swirling and changing as we were further out on the trail.

It was a gorgeous but tiring Saturday here in our #ozarklife! Our 13 year old had a friend stay the night last night, which of course means that no one went to bed at a decent hour (ah, the sound of cracking

It’s been a long week of adapting to life realities and not having time to hike. Today I made sure to let @nomaddreamer that it was a top priority to get to the forest! So off we went. 😁 The wildlife
