One of the joys of nature is the appearance of wildflowers in the spring . Usually pasque flowers , commonly called a “ crocus ,” and yellow bells are the first to flower , followed by numberless other species like asters , paintbrush , marsh marigolds , wild roses , and fireweed as summer begins .
Get out there and smell the roses ; enjoy the fresh air and sunshine .
Duane Radford rejoices in the lyrics of “ Somewhere Over the Rainbow ,” which epitomizes for him the striking blue skies , white clouds , and joys of life all so characteristic of spring and summer . Duane encourages us to get outdoors and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of being in harmony with nature ’ s animals and plants , an experience that will be of comfort to body and soul .
