Today my joy was found in nature as it usually is. I got my grass cut just before a storm rolled in, great timing!!!! It started to rain pretty hard, but instead of closing the garage door , I walked out in it and contemplated going for a run in my sweaty grass cutting clothes. Instead I sat on the front step and listened to the rain. I watched it water my flower beds. I love the smell of the cedar mulch especially when it's wet. I thought how beautiful and green the trees and grass are, how the flowers are so colorful. The very sidewalk my grass covered sneakers were setting on ,just a few short months ago, I was breaking my back and freezing my toes, as I shoveled the ungodly amount of snow. Everything was dead and bleak. It doesn't even seem like the same place. Winter seems like a bad dream. It doesn't seem like it even happened , doesn't seem like it could have happened. Just a faded memory now. Nature amazes me.
