Something old, something new

I went out for a walk the other day.
It was raining, drops settled on my face and the leaves around.
The purple flowers are in full force - wild geranium, phlox, waterleaf, even the invasive dames rocket. 
Ferns have unfurled, strong but delicate.
Soon we'll be seeing white blooms - sweet cicely, corn salad, mayapple, white baneberry -
and begin moving from the woods out to the prairie where the foxglove will lead the pack of summer blooms.

I didn't realize just how being cooped up indoors had affected me until I was out standing in the woods, in the rain, smiling like a fool. 

Do you know the sound on windows computers when there is an error, the short 'dun' sound where you can't continue or do anything and often have to do a forced restart (Here's a youtube of the sound)? That's how things have been going, I've been trying on a number of "different hats" and nothing has been right. 
But then I was there, in the woods, the vibration of the Earth humming all around me, and I knew I was exactly where I needed to be and what I needed to do.

I am working out all the fine details but soon I will be launching something very exciting, something to help people connect with nature - it doesn't matter if you live in a big city or in a rural community, there is always something to be discovered, let me be your guide.

Below are photos taken on the rainy hike of my epiphany. Enjoy and stay tuned!
