What things in nature are you most thankful for and why?
I love plants. I love the sight of their range of colours & their scents & what could possibly be better than actually growing some of them just for food.
Of course I can't really grow anything without water. Luckily where I live we don't have water restrictions but if there was one thing that I absolutely am thankful for, it is pure clean water & rainfall. I remember we used to have to livve on rain water collected off the roof of our bach in the summer time when we lived at the bach for a good couple of months. Living like that really made you appreciate the scarcity of water & how precious each drop really is.
Is sunlight part of nature? I have decided that I need to see the sun on a regular basis. I get very down & moody if I don't see the sun at least twice a week. Now I don't mean I go out & bask in it, I don't do that anymore, but if the sun is shining I will be jogging outside, not in & I will be gardening, not cleaning up the house. I love the warmth of the sun so on a cold but sunny day nothing is better than curling up inside in the sunny spot, that's if I can lay claim to it before Mo.
That brings me to animals. They definitely are nature & I love animals. I am not vegetarian so I appreciate the animals bred for meat but the ones bred for fibre, wool, milk etc also make up a large part of my thankful list. The one animal that is highest on the thankful list must be Mo, our cat. She's a wonderful companion, we can carry on conversations with each other, she helps warm up my side of the bed, she's the grand old girl of the house & we all love her immensely.

I see I am going to have to think long and hard on this one, as I don't think I can put it as eloquently as you have.
I think of how much water is wasted every day by people and it makes me sad. My parents are on water restrictions in FL but the day it rained, no poured down rain, this shopping center had their sprinklers going. This makes me mad! I remember growing up and my mom would let the water she boiled vegetables in grow cold and then water the plants with it. I need to take time to do this.
Very well written. You love nature as well as do.
