How amazing is today's weather. Nature is being so kind to us here. So much more appreciative of what's outside when we've been so long inside. And plopping down in the middle of the road to snap a shot is something we can do way out here in nowhere. I credit fresh, clean air to be the cure for all sorts of things that ail us...that and a little sunshine (and an old chocolate lab thrown in there too).
Mr. Nature-Lover himself, John Muir, said...
"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world."
{Necklace giveaway winner news...congratulations Joy! I've already gotten in touch with you and hope to hear from you soon.)
You are blessed indeed...
We are still bundling up in our coats, hats, scarves and mittens here in the northern yonderlands. We are getting yet another fresh covering of snow today.
We will be soooo loving the springtime when it finally arrives!

Love that you are so in touch with nature. Living in a city you forget the fresh air that country living brings.

Lucky you. Coats, scraves hats and gloves are still the order of the day here with several inches of snow on the ground and more to come.
Enjoy your warm temps!

Congratulations Joy!
Sounds like you really are enjoying your weather at the moment . . . we're in for a couple of warmer days here in Victoria, Australia after a few weeks of rather cool summer weather - our boys might even be able to have a swim later today - perhaps their last one for the season!

Love the photo!
It's raining here, but the temps have risen up to the upper 40s and 50s so it's looking up. About two more months of rain to look forward to, but then it will be a piece of heaven on earth around here for several months! :)
