Eva,
Some of these junkets are quite adventuresome LOL I have to walk through tall grass & thistles etc, & this time I crawled under a barbed wire fence (tsk). I wear my hiking boots just in case I encounter snakes or mice (haven't yet) but when I come home my boots & socks are full of dried grass & seeds & nettles, & my lower legs are scratched from the thistles. Still wanna come? LOL
