Unless you have been in the woods recently you probably have not noticed how exceptional this season has been for nature lovers. The birds have been numerous and diverse, the trees and flowers have been lush and colorful, the animals have been active, and the creeks and lake have been full of activity. Even the dusk skies have not failed to produce beautiful views. Schedule time into your busy schedule for "time-outs" in nature. Go on hikes, sit around a well managed fire, camp overnight, or simply walk around the lake and creeks to reduce stress and enjoy the gifts God gives to us everyday. You will be glad you did.
