Before my concussion, I had lots and lots of summer goals. After the concussion, I drastically narrowed my goals. One of the main ones was to talk a walk in the meadow in June. It HAD to be when very specific flowers were blooming: clover, alfalfa, daisies, false baby’s breath, and buttercups. These are the flowers of my childhood; the flowers that made me love flowers.
Of course, the best way to do it would be while wearing an antique Edwardian dress!

At the edge of one of the fields was a forest.

I had to take a large jump to get out of it without walking through more.

I can’t wait to take another walk like this!
