The Natural World: Not Black and White

"Blue" can be more than a subdued or sad mood.
Noticing the blues of water, skies and, yes, hydrangeas can bring calm to the mind and relaxation to the body. The research tying time spent in nature to improved mental health is robust.
Take a walk, a stroll, a run or a hike. Have a picnic or a play date. Yes, please take good care.
