Mother Nature's calming influence

[2naSalit]

5. Nature is what sustains me...

The sky keeps me entertained when away from the woods or the river. I share your growing anxiety and talk about it with my therapist. We're not alone.

I wake long before daylight most mornings so I watch the days begin with star gazing. Some days I go back to bed by 6:30 and get up again around 9. By then I have to reset the window shades and drapes as the day starts to warm. It's been in the 90s in Montana since the flood and before that. Today we're expecting temps in the 100s. I have to water my plants several times during the day, most are stunted from the extreme heat. Only the herbs on the shaded porch are doing well.

Mother Nature, she's pissed at us, even those of us who respect her.
