My walk around the forest and mother’s day

Today is the last day of November, and in my country people celebrate Mother’s Day. This day is not like other federal holidays when everyone has a day off or when concerts and events are organized everywhere. It’s just an ordinary day, and maybe somewhere there were concerts or events, but when I went for a walk, I noticed that everything was empty, without any signs of celebration. Because of that, I forgot about this day, and my mom reminded me about it. I don’t think it’s so terrible that I forgot, because it’s just a symbolic date, nothing special. I never really pay attention to holidays like this. But my mom still decided to notify me, and she even joked, “How could you forget about this holiday?” She didn’t say it seriously — it was more like a joke. By the way, if someone forgets my birthday, I also think, “Well, okay, it’s not a problem.” For me, all these dates are mostly symbolic and nothing more.

Tomorrow is already the first day of winter. It’s the 1st of December, and only 31 days remain until the end of this year. But the weather doesn’t feel like winter. When I woke up, I noticed through the window that the road was a bit wet and the temperature was about 6 degrees. It would have been really warm and comfortable if the weather had been dry. Unfortunately, it was the opposite. But I still decided to go for a walk even though the weather wasn’t good — because it was better than yesterday. And another reason was that I didn’t want to stay at home and sit in front of my laptop again.

So I decided to go outside and spend some time there. While walking around the forest, at first I thought that everything was good and dry. I walked for about an hour without any problems and enjoyed the warm day. But when I reached another area of the forest, where everything had been destroyed and trampled by horses, it was ridiculously dirty. In that place, my boots got completely covered in mud because all the grass and leaves were already crushed. That didn’t make me happy, so I decided to go back home and finish my freelance project.
