For The Love of Mother Nature

The burning lesson she wanted to learn regarding Mother Nature was 'If you leave a cookie in the forest and nobody knows, will it still be there when you come back?'

Clearly, the answer is 'yes' and that's all that matters.

Well, that and asking various questions about trees, Spring blossoms - if you drop your apple in the park is it ok to pick it up and keep eating it?

that you can count on your favorite 'sap' tree as she calls it even though technically, botanically it is actually a cedar
that it will give you respite on a hot afternoon

rest after creating in your art studio all morning

that music echos among the brush and damp soil path

that jumping and balancing on fallen tree trunks is fun and an independent activity

that climbing trees is not just for boys

and that foraging for fresh flowers makes a lovely Mother's Day bouquet for the kitchen table
....for the love of Mother Nature
