It is way too nice to sit and blog today!

Anyone living for any length of time in Syracuse NY knows that when we are graced with an absolutely gorgeous spring day, it is impossible to be indoors.

Syracuse is known as the snowiest major city in the US, perhaps the world (although this past year was a fluke!) See Wikipedia. We also have a very high percentage of cloudy days (much to the dismay of my amateur astronomer husband)

So here is a picture of grecian windflowers and early dutch iris blooming under the Rose of Sharon in my backyard. My dog Herschel and I went for a long walk to enjoy God's creation.

The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Robert Louis Stevenson
