| It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
Robert Louis Stevenson Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

| We lived in large cities and I enjoyed the opportunities they gave me but I always was ready to move into the country, to be near woods to roam in, a brook or lake to sit by and birds to listen to. I feel more whole, not torn into umpteen different directions. Thanks for all the wonderful quotes this week, Don. Hope all your doctor visits went well. |

| I spent my childhood in a city, but it had lots of parks and a woods in the suburbs - spent my young adult years first in ruins and then in the burbs and retired to what's almost the "outback" and morphed into a country woman/tree-hugger, happy ever after |

| Gosh, Don; those were great quotes----thank you so much! I don't have the wonderful surroundings Lilo has, but my whole world changes when I step into the garden....shaded pathways, sunny, open main garden and large expanses of ancient Oak shade covering much of the lawns around my daughters' house next door----no matter what part I'm in, or what job I'm doing, I'm happy and at peace. |
