We drove up on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the green in so many shades seduced me into a wonderful humor. The white dog wood and the other purple, pink, orange, and mauve blossoms dripped all throughout the green. The tall dark tree trunks were like sentries … holding the sky up so green could flourish and announce that there really is life after death. I saw a wild turkey but asked to see a Pheasant and a few miles later there was one walking across the road (I think it was one anyway). I prayed for a bear if it was in the highest good for everyone and I saw no bear but maybe one saw me. :)
