Cheers

Mueller Park, Bountiful, Utah

"Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

-Ferris Bueller-

I really wanted to travel some place fun this Memorial Day Holiday weekend. I have three days off in a row and so many people seem to be going some place exciting or on some fun adventure. Today I slept in, then potted some plants and herbs I bought last week. I went hiking up Mueller Park this afternoon with a friend. About a 20 minute drive from my house. The mountains are still lush and green with wildflowers in full bloom and rivers teaming with spring runoff. It was a gorgeous sight, full of twittering birds and rustling creatures in the foliage. The air was warm and humid, with fresh aromas of blossoms and pine lighting across the breeze. Nature has woken up from the long, dreary slumber of winter and is bursting into life. Sometimes I forget that amazing things exist in my own back yard. I need to stop more and drink in the life that is around me.
