Blue skies and crisp mornings

Today is just a wonderful, joyous morning in Devon. The sky is blue, the sun is shining brightly and there are the last residual spots of frost on those plants that the sun's rays have not yet penetrated. It was a cold night and a chilly start to the day but perfect in so many ways. As I write I can hear jackdaws, a pheasant exclaim, blackbirds singing and collared doves sharing their calming call. Somehow "it is as it is" seems easier on these kind of days.
