Just at Sunrise

Brent and I went for a long hike this morning. We headed first for my neighbor's gravel pit so we could catch his trail that goes through the swamps. At the gravel pit we looked around a little and Brent found 2 small stones he thought were pretty. Brent found a rail road spike on the old right-of-way. I found a stick w/ an interesting wooden growth on it in the woods. Phil was sitting on the deck, doing a crossword puzzle when we got back. We showed him the rocks, the spike, and the stick. Reminded me of when I was a kid and would bring the cows home from the pasture in the morning. I'd always come back into the house w/ a flower or stone or berries that I had found along the way. Guess some things never change.
