The wonderful thing about Oregon is that evergreen is all year round. Have you ever taken the time to smell a sprig of freshly rubbed evergreen. It is so revitalizing. In health.com's article, The Healing Power Of Pine, Sara Altshul shares some amazing insight to some of the benefits of evergreen. "In Japan, going for a therapeutic walk in the woods is known as shinrin-yoku, which means "taking in the atmosphere of the forest." This practice has recently been studied for its ability to ease stress. We are counting our blessings in the great northwest. As we enjoy spring and the flowers, we may also have joy that "evergreen" happens all year long.

Great capture of the mixing of seasons that we are having right now. All in the same day. Warmth in February makes for wonderful blooms of our favorite spring flowers. "Children the world over have a right to a childhood filled with beauty, joy, adventure, and companionship. They will grow toward ecological literacy if the soil they are nurtured in is rich with experience, love, and good examples." ~Alan Dyer, A Sense of Adventure" |
