It is a beautiful hot August Sunday, so we got out early to hike at a local state park. It was a shock to note that the seasons are changing. It seems that once again we must hurry, hurry to enjoy this season before it ends. The fall asters are abloom. The mountain mahogany bushes are sporting their feathery seeds. Chokecherries have set their ruby fruits and the gambel oaks, their acorns. Summer is on the wane. We must get out there and enjoy it while it lasts.
"There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter." Rachel Carson
