I try to share my love of nature in its simplicity but glorious state with anyone around me and am often met with, "Yeah, OOOOOOKKKK!!!" I will ever try to involve anyone and everyone in the wonders of the world around me, and, while I am multi-faceted in personality, that is, I like reading, writing, video games, and all the usual stuff, my favorite thing in life, besides love, is nature... great post ECD~~Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214987294329261714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875136140537336379.post-63141261121981987412008-01-30T19:53:00.000-05:002008-01-30T19:53:00.000-05:00eastcoastdweller, a Gentleman, my Confidant – I ap...eastcoastdweller, a Gentleman, my Confidant – I appreciate you and am still a grand admirer of your Writings, your zestful curiosity about life - rather that be an insect or contemplating literature, art, God, or life itself, and I admire your compassion for your fellow human beings and nature. Currently, I am still under the weather and doctors care so I have been unable to visit many blogs and blog when I am able. Unfortunately, from bad to worse continues as seems to be the theme for many of us in the blogosphere recently. Having partially recovered from one death in the Family this December, now our Father is at his death bed as emphysema is determined to take his last breath. Such is why I am so Thankful to You eastcoastdweller for your comments on my site and for not giving up or forgetting me!ndpthepoetress Jean Michelle Culphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421929108208152104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875136140537336379.post-74108458554109270012008-01-29T15:33:00.000-05:002008-01-29T15:33:00.000-05:00As the mother of an 11 year old boy, I couldn't ag...As the mother of an 11 year old boy, I couldn't agree more that life has changed from when I was a kid. We lived in Queens, and were told go outside! We played in the backyard, acting out all manner of adventures. Or we went to the play gound. When in my teens, we went camping in some really wild places. My son has known very little of this...What mother in an urban setting sends her kids out unsupervised?? We visit my family's homestead for real country living every year, where Chris has learned to target shoot and track deer and coyote. But he's still such a city kid...sigh. Hopefully Boy Scouts will further acquaint him with his natural surroundings.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854080140004540619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875136140537336379.post-86028980753908749142008-01-28T06:11:00.000-05:002008-01-28T06:11:00.000-05:00Thank you, Chase, and Leslie, for your visit.

Not just for watching birds mind you! :) I would look through the big end to the little end, down at my feet, and try to walk along feeling a zillion feet tall.<BR/>Every household should have binocs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
