For the longest time, I’ve been a big fan of leisurely walks through the woods. Oh my days did I change my mind since late spring of this year! Why?
It was late morning on a Sunday, when mom and I went for a walk after visiting our family tree at the forest cemetery. We weren’t talking for a short while, when I heard stomping noises. They were getting louder. What the fluff? Right in that moment, when I asked my mom what she thought this sound could be, a sounder of wild boars came running up the hill. They crossed the trail we were on about 250 meters away from us. We stood still immediately and watched in awe. I don’t know whether they did not take notice of our presence due to the wind’s direction, or if they just followed their leader come hell or high water. Dang! This is the kind of experience I don’t need to have again, to be sure. And guess what? Since that unsought encounter this past spring, I haven’t been in the woods for a leisurely walk. 🐗😞 Have a lovely Saturday!!
