Nature

Nature is so much a part of me.  I grew up spending so much time outdoors just playing.

My friend and I were so imaginative.  We used mimosa tree blooms with streams of water and mud to “cook.”  My cousins and I played hide and seek games in the dark.  We rode bicycles and waded the creek.  We caught lightning bugs and crawdads.

My parents and grandparents gardened.  I grew up on fresh vegetables that I helped plant and harvest.  We sat in the shade of the porch and cleaned beans or peeled peaches.

I hiked through the forest with my family.  I couldn’t count the times we had a picnic or built a campfire.  We spent so much time together in the fresh air.

I now absolutely need to feel the sunshine or the rain.  I love to walk and gather.  I bring outside things indoors to last me through the rain or the snow.  I want to share the peace and wonder that nature provides.
