“For me it was important to be alone; solitude was a prerequisite to being openly and joyfully susceptible and responsive to the world of leaves, light, birdsong, flowers, flowing water.”
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays
A spring like day. We reached 71 degrees and nature painted clouds all over the blue canvas sky. It makes me smile! I spent some time at a couple natural areas this afternoon to watch the art show and journal. I hope you had a good day!

Beneath the wide and endless blue, the western skies unfold their hue. Beautiful, Monte. Glad you had a good day. Your temperature got much warmer than ours; we only made it to the lower 50s today.

That is rather poetic, my friend! I saw that you were having cooler weather and it looked like you even had some rain. We are expecting rain tomorrow morning.
