I just listened to one and really enjoyed it. It is great to put on and enjoy

while you are working around the house or on the computer.

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.
