“I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. ~ e.e. cummings”
How much nature do you need? For me, I need it!
When I am not working, I spend most of my time in nature. Being in nature makes me happier, healthier and peaceful. Nature can be just our backyard. One can spend the entire weekend gardening getting my hands dirty. And that’s exactly what I did this past long weekend.
David Suzuki suggests that we take the nature challenge by going outside to:
- smell the flowers
- find the bug
- fly a kite
- write and sketch in the park
- identify the trees
- birding
- listen to the wind
- skip some stones
- get my feet wet
- take photos
And much more.
More than likely, I will be spending more time outside and it will take me away from WordPress. So my friends, if you don’t hear from me, I’m in the garden.
Photographs and Memories 
I have a friend who invites me over to work on her garden, and I treasure those moments! Can’t beat that! 🙂
That’s wonderful, Teri, to be able to have time with your friend and work on her garden. Indeed, they are priceless moments. Are you planting any potted plants in your new pad?
Best place to be, Seeker 🙂 Happy Gardening 🙂
Just like you garden, Blinks. I saw you spending so much time there.
And such a lovely garden – happiness 😉
Thank you.
Not quite gardening time here, but at least the snow is mostly gone. The icebergs are coming, though!
Hi Maurice, it’s almost summer. When do you get to plant tomatoes? Icebergs? that must be a sight to see. Love you attire. What’s the occassion?
Happy gardening: the season of dirty nails, but who cares 🙂
Dirty nails, you betcha. It’s fun to play on Mother Earth. Thank you.
I also love gardens. Have a good holiday weekend. Hugs, Barbara
Hi Barbara, It’s weekend, again. Here’s wishing you have time to spend in the garden. Perpetua.
I did and my spirit has soared. Hugs, Barbara
A beautiful garden inspired by beautiful thoughts. Thanks 🙂
One can only think of beautiful thoughts when I garden. Thank you for appreciating the garden.
May your time in the garden been both peaceful and fruitful!
Thank you, Joanne. It was definitely peaceful. Managed to make a dent at the back garden. Now I have to start moving to the front. How’s your potted plants?
The reason for our power-shop in Terrace this evening – plants, plants, and more plants – can’t wait to get into them tomorrow – they shall “transform” the house, YEA!!!! 🙂
Okay, you are off the hook. Can’t wait to see the finish project. 😛 Oh Yes! 😛
Beautiful. Nature is Love.
Love is nature(al). Thank you.
The world is the Garden of God ^^
Nature is His canvass, as nature’s sound is His song.
Nature is a wonderful healer and friend. I hold it very close to my heart. I always wish to stay in the garden.
Spoken of a true nature lover and God. I totally agree with you.
Beautiful garden, Seeker! I love ee cumming’s poem.
Hi Amy, It’s looking better now after cleaning up the spring garden. Now, preparing for the summer garden. Oh, click on ee Cummings name and it will take you to the post. Thank you.
I had never heard that quote by e.e. cummings… magical!
It’s actual part of a poem. If you click on e.e. cummings’s name, it will take you to the post.
Thank you!
The best advice for the weary. 🙂
Hi Bels. You are always in nature with the water buffalo and rice fields and plantation. P.S. I’m having problem with the reader and the blogs I followed are not there since I went off line. Hope you are having better connection with the internet.
I am a farmer so I am always close to Nature. 🙂
Note: on off connection as usual. sometimes I get lucky.
you are lucky today. I’m not. Home sick. 😛
I am sorry to hear that, 😦
Take a rest. Drink a lot of fluids to cleanse the system.
Monty and I are big nature lovers too – definitely a major source of health and happiness! : )))
Lucky you both, always on the go in nature. My cats won’t even step out of the hallway. 😛
: )))
