| On Sunday I took my second grandson hiking at McCormick's Creek State Park. It was a beautiful day in the winter woods. |
 |
| We hiked to Wolf Cave, a hike I have taken many times. |
 |
| Fortunately, at least for me, the cave is closed now, with a fence around it, the path diverted. There was no temptation to try to go through it, like in the old days. |
 |
| This was a much-needed day in the woods for this boy, a day away from school projects and his little sister. |
 |
| The woods were so gray and bare that even the littlest splashes of green stood out. |
 |
| The moss on the trees and rocks was a glorious green. |
 |
| It is my belief that every boy should have a day in the woods, become familiar with crossing a little stream, have time to clear his mind. |
 |
| And get a little mud on his shoes. |
