I purposely keep my bedrooms curtains on a tension rod and hang them lower on the windows so my eyes can first see Nature upon awakening.
There is a delight to each season, from birds in the trees, to the varied colors of Autumn, to the way the snow clings to the branches.
This morning, in addition to birdsong, I heard branches breaking and crackling just beyond the pines. A family of deer were making their way through the woodlands stopping to eat delectables along the way.
It was one of those moments when I needed to be still and appreciate the moment, to take in their beauty without running off to get the camera and hoping to get a shot before they disappeared.
I was inspired to start my Sunday Stroll earlier this morning even before horses were fed. Nature was calling me.
Creatures were everywhere . . .
even the hens and ducks, who weren't locked in their houses, had survived the night .. thank goodness!
New life was springing forth everywhere I looked. . .
May your day be happy
and may you make discoveries that fill your heart with JOY.
