The Joy of a Spring Day

   Enjoying a delightful Easter Sunday afternoon about 4:30 pm on April 16, 2017. Sitting on the front porch with my friend Helen from New York City in Phillipsburg, NJ, just around the corner from Lopatcong elementary school. This a beautiful day with the sun shining bright in the sky with a slight breeze blowing, then an occasional rain coming through the clouds every now and then. As we sat on the porch and watch the children play in the yard, I sat admiring the trees starting to bloom. With no leaves on the trees yet they were the most beautiful trees you have seen. The birds chirping so load yet pleasing to the ear. One of the children found a birds nest right below the tree in the grass with a bird egg. I advise them the nest fell out of the tree and Its mother must have left it when it fell from the tree.

         

       All the children running around look for eggs hid all around the house, listening to the laughter and finding myself laughing at them. They were told that some the sparkled eggs had special things in them, so all you could hear is the shouting I find a sparkle egg and around back you hear another child yelling I found one. They all filled with laugher, we found ourselves laughing as well. Then watch the little boys be boys and climb the bear tree. Oh, the joy of just sitting and listen to the excitement of the children on this spring day. It was the  most peaceful day I have sent in a long time. Just sitting and enjoying nature is so rewarding.
