That's great. Isn't it amazing that science is learning that being outside and indulging in natural elements of earth, air, fire, and water makes us feel good? Maybe we should turn it around and come to the long-overdue realization that depriving ourselves of nature (which is what the majority of us do the majority of the time) is doing us a LOT of harm, physically, psychologically, and spiritually.

I'm picturing dd at 2, happily covering her entire body with mud.
I guess she was onto something!

I firmly believe that gardening is healing. It's one of the few things that helps lift my depression.
