Thank you, Mother Earth, for your myriad blessings. I stand in awe and gratitude. How amazing are these gifts of yours to us!
|  | 
| Warm, soft air. With a view. | 
|  | 
| Tiny gift packages that open to reveal lovely jewels. |

| Plant a seed: lettuce! | 
|  | 
| Or chard. | 
|  | |||
| Or kale. | 
|  | 
| Or don't plant a seed...something jumps up anyway! | 
|  | 
| Aphids? Whoosh! Here come the ladybugs. Nature's insecticide. | 
|  | 
| How do they know? Was there a ladybug news bulletin? And just look at those perfectly placed polka dots! | 
|  | 
| Tomato forest. Time to transplant. | 
|  | 
| There are even ballerinas in Nature. | 
|  | 
| And basking dinosaurs. | 
|  | 
| Fields of perfume | 
|  | 
| ...and bits of sunshine | 
|  | 
| ...dancing | 
|  | 
| ...at our feet. | 
|  | 
| Something so magical about... | 
|  | 
| ...the sky through branches of a tree. | 
|  | 
| Surprises tucked everywhere | 
|  | 
| ...if we only open our eyes to see. | 
|  | ||
| And, maybe my own hair isn't so wild after all. |
