I read the book, which makes me feel all smug about having provided my two with a good sound semi hippie childhood. :) They now live in metro Vancouver, where Nature is never far away.

I grew up outdoors as my step-father loved nature. We were always on a hike somewhere, but I find myself getting to caught up in the daily grind. I need to make it happen for them. have a great week.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361497391780056620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-88862035892594768562017-01-10T08:33:09.017-08:002017-01-10T08:33:09.017-08:00So glad you and your family are still using Nature...So glad you and your family are still using Nature as a teacher and guide line.
