Here is what I enjoy about gardening and being outside:
- Breathing in the clean, fresh country air
- Having a cool breeze refresh you
- Feeling the warm sun on your back
- Pausing to hear birds singing
- Watching big, gentle bumblebees buzz around, tending to their business
- Smelling the dirt and getting your hands in it
- Looking at the clouds, just like when you were little
- Getting dirty and grimy...really, really dirty and grimy
- Taking a break and appreciating a cool beverage on a hot day
- And finally, having your mind be nowhere else except in the here and now
