We awoke to a light mist that hung around until about 8:30 am. From then on the clouds slowly gave way to blue sky and sunshine, making it a beautiful day. I drove to Pineridge Natural Area about 4:32 pm to journal and listen to the Magpies chatter. The opening blue sky and scattered clouds filled my gratitude bucket. I always seem to feel respect for nature and move into a place of silent prayer. Before I left, a meadowlark sang a simple song for me. I believe it knew I needed one. My day was made complete. I hope you had a good weekend and enjoy your coming week!

From the photo, it looks like a good many people were enjoying the natural area, always a nice way to spend a day. I hope the coming week is as pleasant, my friend.

If today is an indication the week will be very pleasant!

We spent a beautiful Monday afternoon listening to a couple of juvenile red-tailed hawks calling for their mother. A bit annoying but ultimately an essential sound of nature. Hopefully they’ll be able to hunt on their own soon! 😉

We have a pair of red tailed hawks that have young ones early this time of year. When I hear their cry, I usually stop and look for them.
