Biggest fear of becoming a zombie? All the walking. 🧟

Just kidding. We love a brisk walk or hike in the woods. What are some of your favorite parks to take a lurching stroll in?⁣

@t_c_hernandez77 Have you given them bougainvillea food? It might be that the soil isn't acidic enough.

Or the bougainvillea just likes watching you suffer.

@ValOnTheBorder This kind of weather makes me want to rewatch "The Long Hot Summer" so I can commiserate with people also driven crazy by heat and weird southern families.
