Honey Creek

We “discovered” Honey Creek Preserve, a pleasant walk through prairie fields, wetlands, and woods, along a winding creek with fish.  There were tangles of tree roots like mangroves out over the water.  There were some very large mantises in the fields of tall native grasses.

This park is probably another example of some old farm family selling their land to the county for parkland, after they could no longer afford to farm it.  Other farms either got absorbed into the huge industrial mega-growers, or were reduced to commercial family tourist traps, with outsourced produce.

While we’re in this forced holding pattern for a few more months, this is how we keep on remembering to breathe and get out of our small space once in a while, before we suffocate.  Also it’s free.
