Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Odd Moments
To walk abroad early 'in the day, across the spongy meadows where the grass has just the faintest touch of green; to welcome gladly each little, swelling bud on the brown, bare trees, as one ascends the winding path through a stretch of woods to search for the first hepatica and to hear the never-ceasing rushing of the hillside stream swollen from the melting snow!
To climb higher and higher until the summit is reached and there to pause and feel the gentle breeze of spring fanning the cheek, while one breathes in the sweet, woody odors never so fragrant and delicate as in springtime.
Not merely to see and hear and breathe in the beauty but to feel it in an inexpressible way! The splendor, the grandeur, the solemnity of it all! The deepening of one's love of Nature and of Nature's God! The sense of near ness to the Great Creator, He Who made this splendor!
The inspiration! The power received from a deepened appreciation of Nature, that enables one to do a better day's work on returning to the daily duties of life!
This is enjoying to its fullest extent the early hours of a spring morning in the country!
