A bad day at the office and the first thing I want is a nice glass of wine to unwind.  I have discovered that instead a walk in nature has the same effect, if not a better one. Time spent outside leaves me feeling energized and happy, rather than ready for a nap.

A short 20 minute walk from my house I came upon this heron nesting area and beautiful calm water.  The sweet smell of nearby wildflowers and the sounds of the birds that call this peaceful place home.

I dream of retirement and traveling to new places, when sometimes all we have to do is get outside and find what is close by waiting to be found.

My first grand baby, Miss Ava Jeanne.  She brings joy to my heart and has kept me away from my blog for a bit.  I can’t wait to see though her eyes when she gets to experience all that mother nature has to offer.
