Something Blue

O, the joy of spring! Look what I found tucked away in the big blue spruce in our front yard.

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring—these are some of the rewards of the simple life.” —John Burroughs
