Spring is here and not a moment too soon! Gone are the cold, blustery days of winter and today brings with it new life, longer days, and green where there was once only brown. I took advantage of the beautiful day to venture out onto the Sangamon Valley Bike Trail. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my bike out today, so I had to walk it instead. That turned out to be for the better, though. I was able to slow down and take in the sights and sounds of nature everywhere around me. I felt so close to nature I could almost feel it soaking through my clothes.
