Nature is where it's at, for sure! I would fade away and die without it giving me constant pleasure and comfort. I live out in the country. I just wouldn't make it in town.
This past week I've seen all different kinds of birds, heard owls, saw all sorts of animal tracts in the snow, had bluebirds at my heated birdbath heater, and for the first time saw 2
coyotes in the yard. Yes, winter can be a depressing time, in spite of all it has to offer, but these little animal treasures (and incredible sunrises and sunsets through the trees), keep me going.
I hope everyone gets the pleasure and peace that can be gotten, if you just let Mother Nature in.
