Yesterday there was a break in the rain and we all went outdoors. Much of my worktime lately has required sitting and I’ve been needing movement to balance it. My body wanted to move and get out for a bit and my brain needed a break too. Jeff had pointed out that there were two trilliums blooming along our driveway, so Bracken and I headed up into the woods in search of white. Jeff was working on a project and while we were within earshot, we let him know we were finding what we were looking for. The forest floor was scattered with bright white trilliums. They were dripping wet and the sunlight shining on them made them seem to glow. It was a wonderful sight. And of course all the moss and lichen lit up in the sunshine was a wonderful sight too. It started pouring and then hailing so we headed back inside. That time in the woods, though brief, was good for the soul and I so look forward to the trilliums every spring!
