The Hubster and I took a day out to hike and picnic.
*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!
We chose the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge.
The day was mostly clear and slightly chilly.
Look bravely up into the sky,
And be content with knowing
That God wished for a buttercup
Just here, where you are growing.
-Sarah Orne Jewett
I thought it would be more spring like. You know, green and full of birds.
I guess we were a bit too early since some of the water still had ice formations.
No matter.
We had a wonderful hike and picnic!
And I found my first buttercup!
Buttercups, bright eyed and bold, hold their chalices of gold to catch the sunshine and the dew. -Julia Caroline Dorr
We will be back!
See the world around you!
