As the sun rises over Lake Thurmond in McCormick County, SC, I hear excited chatter from the 200 women at breakfast. They are exchanging stories about the classes they took yesterday, and what’s on their schedule for today. Debbie mentions how patient her instructor was in helping her step into a kayak for the first time, and how quickly she learned to maneuver the boat.
Everyone knows the phrase. Say it with me: “The only good snake is…a dead snake.” Yikes! That’s a little aggressive, don’t you think? –Especially when snakes are such an important part of our ecosystem and provide so much food for wildlife, as well as services to help keep us healthy and free of some diseases.
Bird. Say it out loud. It’s not the most exciting word in our dictionary, but it represents one of the most extraordinary classes of animals inhabiting our amazing planet. Birds are capable of filling our lives with an overwhelming amount of joy, wonder, and beauty. They quite literally shine as brightly as flames when reflecting the sun’s rays, and (figuratively) shine while singing their sweet melodies during our springs and early summers.
