Spring becomes summer

It's a truly beautiful morning today, full of promise and sunshine. The trees are so verdant with their new leaves, the sky peppered with clouds, the sunshine now has some significant heat and the hedgerows are coming alive with flowers. Have had a wander amongst the bluebells today and seen a red kite in flight and a heron on the riverbank. The animals are contentedly chewing the cud in the fields of lush green grass. It's just one of those mornings when it is possible to push away all the awful things, the worries, the fears for the future and stresses of life for a few minutes at least and just concentrate on simple pleasures. That's what I call bliss and for a few minutes just listening to the cuckoo call and hearing the gurgling water splashing in the river this is heaven on earth. I'm right by a road and people have sped past this spot in their cars and missed it all, they will never know how close to my version of heaven they came or what simple beauty they missed.
