When Ian, Emmett and I went to visit Casey, Dave and Elliott this week, we visited Walden Pond on Thursday morning. It was a beautiful morning - cool and sunny. Ian and Emmett walked all the way around the pond, and Casey, Elliott and I just sat by the water and enjoyed the peaceful view. There were people swimming in the pond - temperature 74 degrees. The little cabin is a reproduction of the actual cabin that Henry David Thoreau lived in for two years. It was very tiny but very cozy and had everything he needed. He built much of the cabin himself. To think of living so simply with so few "things" and just taking your days to tend your home and your land and enjoy nature and living off the land. To spend so much time thinking and writing. It's hard in this day and age to even imagine such a life. I want to come back when Tyler visits and hike around the pond with him.
