I would feel more optimistic about a bright future

for man if he spent less time proving that he can

outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness

and respecting her seniority.Ê

Well we have been more diligent about not driving over the speed limit which

gives us better gas mileage. Consolidating our outings from home also to save

on gas.

 

The last few years our vacations have been to national parks instead of theme

parks. It is so breathtaking and we're forever grateful for the protection of

these awesome places for our enjoyment of nature. I'm thankful also to

National and State parks that offer programs which give nature programs where

you gain in your knowlegde of that park, wildlife, waterways, plants and trees

and other things that are pertainent to that park and nature in general. We

love hiking too.

 

Being a vegetarian also saves our earth. Read Diet for a New Planet to see how

we make a difference by this lifestyle choice.

 

We beautify our yards with landscapes that accent the beauty of the plants in a

pleasing way and put in plants that attract butterflies and trees for birds to

live in. We have several different kinds of shrubs/bushes that produce berries

that the birds love. We have feeders too.

 

We are a family that loves learning about nature, being outside in it and

creating beauty with it in our yard. I love to sit on my patio and enjoy the

birds and watch the clouds, watch the stars at night, see the trees and flowers

flowing in the breeze, see what is blooming now. Right now we have blooming in

our woods and yard, dogwoods, azeleas in several colors, redbuds, mountain

laurels, apple trees, pansey's, roses, dewberries, bridal wreath bush, several

other trees in the woods, and lots of new growth on perienials. The world is

so alive. It gives me such a contentment inside, when I can be in and enjoy

nature.
