The power of nature

Nature walk today. We went to Arbor Lake (in town) and saw ducks, geese, woodpeckers (red-headed, I think), and butterflies. It's amazing to me how the kids are immediately put in a good mood when we do something like that. They are both tired today since we were up late last night attending the college's spring dance concert. That means constant bickering with each other and with us. So outside we go and everything is better! I forgot the camera, of course! So instead, here is a picture of the forsythia in our back yard. Even this glimpse of bright yellow in the still-mostly-brown landscape makes me feel better after the long winter:
