Emergency Alert! Get Out!!!

Get outside that is. Spring sprang last week and is rapidly unfolding in all this wonderful weather. Most people at work know it is but are stuck inside staring at their computer screen, pushing product or serving others. Get out! Pack your lunch and go to the park for a noon time picnic. Take an extra hour in the morning to hike a trail. knock off early to relax by the river. Get up, get out and be in it before it's too late.

Take someone in the next office. Put down what ever digital devise has you in thrall and let the glory of our living world delight you. The fragrance and color of the blossoms, the diverse melody of birdsong the warmth of the sun (before it's too hot).

Last year's rains will yield a spectacular bloom this year.

Note to supervisors everywhere: be sure those in your charge are given ample time to amble among the beauty. Surely their productivity will improve.

Note to all parents: There are many activities on the kids plates but if they don't have time or the means to get out and hike for an hour or two, something is wrong and they are the worse off for it.

So, get out! Enjoy the beauty. And let us know if you need any suggestions, alliance@smgreenbelt.org. Hope to see you on the trail!
