Creek

People not from the Ozarks may picture a trickling stream when I say, creek, but around here the creeks are more like nature’s water park.

Deep enough to swim in places, and clear enough to spot a precious shell or hiding crawdad.  

The creek is the place where we cool off and kids play.   Conversations and camp chairs are best in the water and coolers line the shore for hungry and thirsty hillbillies of all ages.  Our pup surveys the activity to be sure everyone is accounted for although he loves the water too!

The creek is a Sunday afternoon tradition for one of my friends and her family.  And, I concur, it is the best way to wind down the weekend!
