Lake Bonnie

I went to Lake Bonnie with high hopes of something I normally enjoy.
I’m not exactly an “out-doorsy” kind of girl. I love nature and the sky and the sounds of running water. I enjoy hiking in the forest and walking on the beach. I especially enjoy swinging on swings at Lake Mirror. However, I absolutely am petrified of bugs. Which apparently are big parts of the whole nature scene?
So, I was excited to do something I enjoyed for the class. My friends make fun of me all the time because once I got dressed up for the weather outside because it was so beautiful. Another time, I was just flabbergasted at how clean the air felt when I inhaled it on a summer night. I really do appreciate nature.
I went to Lake Bonnie. I walked around. I sat down with my back against a tree and I smiled. I felt the wind blow against my face which was warm on that hot Saturday afternoon. I heard the birds chirp, each one of them an individual: their sounds never quite the same. I enjoyed the sun peaking through the leaves and gently telling me hello. I proceeded to smile because I missed the sun and its warmth. I wasn’t really aware of the time because I didn’t mind spending longer than ten minutes. I just kept quiet and listened to the symphony that God had created for each and every one of us.
I then got up after a while because when I did open my eyes, I saw a huge spider. And even though it eloquently was making its way towards me (perhaps even inviting me for tea), I just couldn’t quite appreciate it as much. So I left with a full heart and fun memories at Lake Bonnie.
I took pictures after that, and I was going to post them but I lost my camera cord. If I find it, I’m definitely updating this blog post.
