A few weekends ago, I was fortunate to spend a couple of days by myself and with a great group of friends in utterly perfect spring weather among the sheep and their newborn (as in, I watched them being born that very morning) lambs in the countryside of western New York and I have no words to describe how glorious, peaceful, relaxing, fun, pure, and transcendent of an experience it was. It was so, so deeply needed and I am beyond grateful that I was able to spend my weekend in such a splendid way.
Even three years later, the beauty of upstate and western New York continues to profoundly amaze me. Man, I love this state!
