Brent and I took off this morning for a long walk through the swamps. He wondered as we started if it might not be too long a walk for Indy. The gravel pit was busy so we took an old overgrown shortcut to the mail trail. I backtracked into the sphagnum moss swamp to see if the lady slipper orchids had bloomed this year. Even though I missed seeing it flower, found the leaves. The mosquitoes were incredibly thick so we needed to apply and reapply our bug juice. Then we veered along the old railroad right-of-way. Had to work our way over and around some trees that had fallen over and blocked the path. Finally got back to the trail and picked our way home through waist high ferns. Brent and I slumped down into shaded deck chairs to rest. Indy was still busily chasing smells through the tall grass. It wasn't Indy Brent should have been concerned about.
