Gardening is much more than just having your hard work reward you with beautiful flowers. It's also an intimate experience with nature that calms your mind and being.
Here is what I enjoy about gardening and being outside:

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
