60th bithday party for my first ever girlfriend

"Nise" and her husband live on a little more than five acres out east of town. They keep up certain trails throughout the property and boy did I get excited. With a drink in my hand and good long smoke, I walked the trails, and through the underbrush, and forgot how beautiful a 'natural' Florida once was or is.

The Live Oaks, the Longleaf Pines, the palmettos and the common Cabbage Palm. The Red Cedars, the Red Maple and the Loblolly Bays - all existing so naturally - and all unlike my overly manicured and maintained garden. It was the best part of the party.
