Beautiful Days

I am so in love with Spring. I love that I can hear hundreds of frogs singing outside our bus at night. I love that there are so many birds flying from tree to tree that it sounds like we live in a jungle. I love that the grass is getting green again, and slowly, slowly, slowly, the trees aren't looking dead anymore. There is green instead of just brown.

Even the horses seem happier now that the mud and cold weather is melting away. Last night I went for a sunset walk on the farm in the warm spring air... I'm coming to depend on these walks. I went to the horse track where I always visit my favourite group of calm horses, and decided to walk around their circular track. The 4 horses wandered with me, sometimes in a line, sometimes momentarily blocking my path for a human pat on their necks. They're such giant creatures, horses, and I kept on wondering if I should be a little afraid of them, but they've become such calm friends to have, and sometimes I'm glad that God made animals not to talk... even though I sometimes wonder if they understand more than I know.

I ended the walk by climbing up into an old open hay loft to watch the sun set. When it was dark, I finally walked home, breathing deeply and really at peace.
