Last Summer

So last summer I did surround myself with nature and it was great. I even planted my first garden, and it was organic. The one great thing about experiencing all this nature, was that I could share it with my son. I hope that he will feel as connected to the land as I did as a child. I know he probably won't have as many opportunities as I did because he lives in the city, but I hope he appreciates the experiences he does have.

Last summer was pretty good, I didn't have to wish or hope that I would that connection back, I just went out and did it. Last year I even went swimming for the first time in years. So this year I plan to do more.

I wasn't going to do a garden again, because we had a dog that took over the back yard, but I've decided that planting and growing my own food is important to me and it's important that I continue to teach my son about nature. We've actually started baking together, and surprisingly he really enjoys it. So I intend to add our own garden grown foods to our recipes. Last year he helped plant the seeds and this year I intend for him to pick, bake and cook with our food.

It's so nice to get back to nature, even if sometimes the connection is

made in the city. ; )

Beauty, Nature and Ramblings

Here are some pictures that I found interesting, unique and beautiful. These pictures inspire me. I think I would love to really be immersed in nature this summer although I believe my goals will not be fulfilled. Maybe these pictures encapsulate what I want to be experiencing now in my life, I want more of this and less of the drudgery of every day life in a metropolitan centre.

What do I want from my life? Peace, contentment, beauty, and to be surrounded by NATURE. As I said in my first post, I'm in a time of my life where I want to give back, create, make my impact felt and live a life worth living. That's not too much to ask is it? But what if I'm not too sure how to get it, and by what economic means? Theoretically living a Utopian life sounds great, but how does one get that?? Anyway, enjoy the pictures.




Maybe these pictures somehow remind me of my youth, each summer was surrounded by forests, fields, and water. I guess I long for a life that's gone, and I'm now wondering how I'll ever get that back. How do I support myself as an adult, and live a carefree life like I did as a child? These are questions I'm not sure if I'll ever have an answers to, but I won't give up the search for an answer quite yet.
