i realized that one of the two trees i would use to put my hammock up is an eastern hemlock. both of the hammocking trees sit on top of graffiti ridden rocks with their roots exposed. a northern red oak nearby still has practically all it’s leaves which i was surprised about with all the snow earlier in the week. the honeysuckle in the area has lost its leaves and the barberry berries are starting to shrive up. i didn’t see many animals around but they could be scared because usually there are lots of people. especially today on such a nice day there were people picnicking, talking, playing music, and enjoying the sun. last time i was here it was freezing and i had to leave because i couldn’t feel my hands. today i wanted to bask in the sun but sadly i had to leave earlier than i would have liked to get to something.
