Good morning to all! We had a deluge here last evening so everything outside is soaked. Still overcast but I remain hopeful the sun will shine. Unseasonably cool temps this morning that I love! Sitting on my back veranda with coffee earlier, I saw our resident red-headed woodpecker, a gray squirrel looking for brunch, and several other songbirds. Depression has been a challenge this week, but moments when something divine in nature touches my everyday lifts my spirit.

glad nature makes you feel better.

hugs to you

It's been raining here, too, since last night. I like rainy days, they seem more peaceful to me. There aren't many squirrels in my neighborhood, and I miss seeing them playing in the trees and running around in the yard.

This is an amazing world that God has made for us; all the little animals (and big ones), flowers, trees... I find the peace of a rainy day very therapeutic. The only thing I like better (concerning nature) is a snowy day.

Nature always surprises us and soothes

I'm not too happy with mother nature right now as I woke up to a blanket of snow. Usually I should be enjoying t-shirt weather right now. And Trump says climate change is a hoax. Harummph.

I am trying to take solace in what nature will have to offer once she gets around to it. I look at at photo of myself on a hammock in the forest and that gives me comfort. I have been looking too at pictures from my most recent camping adventure last summer and feel soothed by the green trees, granite mountains, and turquoise glacial lakes.

I miss being out in nature. Hopefully we'll be able to go camping soon.

It's been raining here too. It started at 10:00 Saturday evening and has been off and on ever since. The world is wet and cold outside, with temps dipping into the 50's. I know rain is good for the plants and trees, but I feel like we're in danger of washing away or drowning or something. It's rained nearly 4 inches now, and every stream and creek around is bursting at the banks. I also want to see the sun again. I like watching it rain as much as the next person, but it's grown wearisome by now. It's time for the warmth and sunshine again.
