Sitting under the pergola on May 1, the first really warm day of spring, I was reminded of how nature and the outdoors appeal to all our senses. Noticing the trees that have leafed out, smelling the blooms of an ornamental magnolia, watching scads of daffodils flutter in the soft breeze, spying bluebirds popping in and out of the bluebird boxes scattered around the yard, and hearing the peening of a hawk overhead filled me with joy.
