12 four bees swarming
345 puffy dead leaves remain on the forest floor, decaying
6-12 running down a little slope, tripping
13-15 don't want to step on the little yellow flowers
16-20 I stepped on some flowers
21-26 step over a fallen branch
27-32 birkenstocks were not the right shoe choice
33-38 sunny spot, rays on my neck, feels good
39-45 SO MANY BEES. Why are people so afraid of bees? They mind their own business.
46-53 remember when this slope in front of me was all ice and treacherous?
54-59 now that everything's green, there's not a clear path
60-68 should have brought a sweater with me
69-74 spider web in the face, made me trip again
75-85 duckecd under a thorny branch, swatted at a gnat
86-92 bird flew above me - what was it? Wish I knew its name
93-100 in a clearing, surrounded by green and yellow and bird song
101-106 bird goes MEEEEEHHHHHGGHGHGHGHG (can't spell the sound)
107-113 trees are still very bare
113-120 phone alarm goes off, irritating, makes me step on flowers
121-130 woodpecker!
131-136 beautiful white crocus sticks up, I can hear the stream nearby
137-149 more beautiful yellow and white crocuses, I can see the stream nearby
150-160 another weird bird sound - how many different ones is that?
161-166 definitely poor choice of shoes, sinking into mud
167-169 just trying to get closer to the water to touch it
170-180 careful walking down dirty muddy slope, touch water (COLD), retreat quickly, almost tripping on slope
181-189 stepping over trash on the bank
190-200 big leaves in the path, remind me of a plant in Vietnam
201-209 found the tree swing again! Will it hold me? Ah yes. Grass is taller here
sit and absorb.
counting is tiresome.
counting slows me down and I move too fast.
swing on the branch, rest until I'm restless, abandon the counting, run back up to the house.
stepped on more flowers this time.
