Owls speaking off in the distance to each other… A fox barking, and the darkness… damp from the moisture from the rain last night. The smell of fresh growing grass …

As I watched the sun set this evening over the mountains…The trees are leafing out green and beautiful. The sun was shinning golden and breath taking. The air was cool and a bit breezy. But in all a real Springtime evening. The birds were singing. The sheep quietly grazing with their bells tinkling softly on …
