Ever since I was a kid I recognized "nature" time felt good.

It still does today. My backyard lawn has been torn up for top soil filled garden boxes. "My hill" has a Sequoia Redwood and a Coastal Redwood and local wild Loquat fruit trees, Aleppo Pines from grocery store X-Mas trees, and the most lemony flavored tree lemons you can imagine. Poinsettias have been a problem.

I also have fruiting sweet cherry trees, Royal Apricot ( the good one of the old days), Mission Fig, Fuji Apple trees and a failing prize Leechee Tree I am threatening replacement with a White Peach or Doenut Peach. Coddle a tree for five years. If it does not like it here, ok.

My home is turf for 2 indoor cats, one half/half and one feral cat. A squirrel visits regularly for unsalted peanuts and a flock of doves drop by for once a day feeding.

Incidentally,, 20 minutes of Green Time as opposed to 20 minutes of Asphalt time has been proven to improve performance of hyper active school kids.

Besides Green Time I would add;

And of course a big feast with friends as leaves me needing a nap.

High on life. Here is your thread. Unfortunately and empty space in my bio is no kids, don't rub it in River.
