Sunshine and warmer temperatures could not have come at a better time. I don’t know about you, but cold, gloomy days leave me feeling a little stagnant. I feel lethargic, unmotivated, unsure of myself, and just a little lost. Winter blues are the worst. I am so thankful I live in a state with changing seasons. As soon as I begin to feel the effects of winter, spring peaks its head out.
This weekend was exactly what we needed.
At the first sign of sun, The Carnivore and I loaded the truck and headed to the Wichita Mountains. We could not have timed it more perfectly. We were greeted by buffalo as we arrived in the Wildlife Refuge, and made our way straight to the trails.
We got there early enough that most of the trails were empty.
The morning was beautiful! There wasn’t much wind, the sun was shining, and the air was crisp. Perfect March morning.
It’s amazing what some sunshine and fresh air will do to your mood.
We spent 2 hours or so hiking around the summit of Elk Mountain. We ate our lunch and looked over the herds of buffalo below.
My husband the cliffhanger.
We came off the mountain refreshed, rejuvenated, and feeling just a little bit better than when we started.
I am so happy to be springing forward today, I don’t even mind losing the hour of sleep. I’m so thankful spring is coming!
