There's a bare tree near my home, but recently a wet morning changed what I saw. Hundreds of raindrops glistened in the daylight, outlining spiderwebs that were draped all over the tree. So it wasn't actually bare at all! What has the rain helped you see?
It's time to start welcoming the change in the seasons by taking a nature break in September. Have you jumped in any puddles yet?
As the warmer weather arrives and nature springs back to life, May is the perfect time to step outside and embrace all that the outdoors ha...
