Rediscovering nature

Today is one of those perfect fall days and you just can't help but be called outside, so I packed up Copper in the car and we headed to the river road. I didn't realize what I had been missing until I was once again experiencing the wonders of nature; the squirrels rustling in the underbrush, wood ducks taking flight at the first sound of my footsteps, a muskrat sitting on a submerged log cleaning his paws, a turtle soaking up the sunshine, a bluejay squaking "Hello",a stately snow white heron standing in the murky green water, the kingfisher rattling his warning call...just being at peace with God. Now that my foot is healed I will once again take up my walks with God and be refreshed and rejuvinated by His presence.
