Today has been another great spring day out doors. The temperature is in the mid 80’s, and the breeze is gentle. The sky is a deep blue and the sun is plentiful. All things seem to be enjoying the out doors, including Susie, who spent some time this morning just laying in the sun in the front yard.
Gage Park is going great today, too. I stopped there following a Bible study at a home not far away. I walked around the perimeter of the Gage Park railroad this time instead of just ambling about the park. It’s about a 20 minute walk, and took me over the dam of one of the ponds.
On the dry side of the dam they have left the native wild flowers to grow. When going by that place on the street, which is just a few feet away, it seems like a weedy growth. But when looking at it from the perspective of the top of the dam, and at the slower pace of the walk, the beauty of at least a dozen different plants in full bloom was evident.
Slowing down often brings out the best in whatever it is we’re observing or doing. I wonder why we don’t do that more often.
