It is absolutely balmy today. Forty-forty degrees. No breeze. Spring is around the corner. My four dogs were all outside in the yard soaking in the sun. They all know a good thing. They simply did not want to come in. Officially spring is still more than three weeks away. Today is an harbinger of spring. I have to go out, again.

I was speeding home and glanced at the mountain across the mile wide river. The sun was resting on top of the mountain. I looked again and it was gone. It was a brief look at dusk–one point in time I almost missed. How much of life is that momentary–here today, gone tomorrow? All we can do is keep our eyes open for those special moments. You never know when they come along. This was one such moment.

I don’t want to go far away. Last I checked the temperature was seventy. This could be the last time this year it hits seventy. I want to enjoy the weather here. If I can’t enjoy it in my own backyard, how can I possibly enjoy it any where else. So I will stay put, walk around my property and see what I can, enjoy the sun here and every thing else around me. I will watch my four dogs run around our fenced yard. I don’t want to have to go any where but my backyard. I don’t want to go far away.

I stepped out and it was beautiful and I did not want to miss it. There was not even a hint of a breeze and the sun was out and it was warm. It was less than two weeks from the official beginning of winter. Tomorrow was more of the same. Then the temperature will drop and the weather would become more seasonable. I wanted to catch part of the day outside. Soon this gorgeous weather would just be a memory and I will have to bundle up every time I go outside. Maybe I will go fishing tomorrow. It will be more of the same temperatures. And I want to take advantage of it. Such weather was precious this time of year and the forecast for this winter was that it would be a cold one. I don’t want this day to slip away.

Even in NYC others want a connection with nature. I was visiting my friend there and I noted facing one window were all kinds of houseplants. Yes, you are surrounded by concrete pavements and buildings but others still desire that connection. Sure there are parks in the City. And they are well attended. I remember going to one nearby my friend. And huddled in one bush was a robin. I never had seen one in February before. It is so easy to feel divorced from the world God has created living in such a big city. It is just a little bit harder there but the popularity of houseplants indicate but (???) every person wants that connection. A world really never too far away. There is the wind, the sun, rain and even snow and even the ubiquitous pigeon that remind you there (???) nature is not too far away. It just seems that way sometimes.
