The Renewal of Life

The gentle rain that falls and trickles down the walls of gardens in the park and wakes the Meadow Lark, refreshes crocus blooms as all of life exhumes. What joy the season brings with coming of the Spring. March 14, 2020

I love writing about any kind of nature. I feel most alive sitting outside in silence listening to the world come alive in the spring and go to sleep in the fall. I really like this one. Julia
