Leon ~ Thank you so much for writing these beautiful blog posts, superbly illustrated by your excellent photography. I really enjoy reading them and feel like you are here with me, as you are so tender and kind in all of your writing. The birds, flowers, vegetables, farming, airplanes and all of it! It is so wonderful that you are able to express so much feeling into your writing. It is not just about the subject(s) but how you feel and what your experience has been.

Thank you Evelyn for the kind words and thoughts. You are so generous with your impressions and comments. It seems (to me) the world needs more simplicity and "down to earth" ideas for our lives. The natural things in life always seem to give us a form of rest, relaxation and peace not found with material things. Gardening, pets, farming, nature, hobbies, family and friends all help us to navigate through this worldly thing known as life. For sure we all endure grief and daily problems, but these things help us through it all. (And make our lives more satisfying.)
