I simply could not agree more. Those childhood connections are truly everlasting and one of my greatest fears is that there is a whole generation of youth missing out on those personal connections to nature these days. I’m so glad you can appreciate where I’m coming from and I hope we all have a chance to share our love for the great outdoors with future generations to come! (And I remember those quizzes on grasses too 😉 )

Thanks so much for the confidence boost in my writing 🙂 And I absolutely agree…the outdoors provide so many benefits, they are absolutely worth sharing and inspiring future generations to disconnect from technology and reconnect to nature.

And yes, it all goes back to my childhood, and the times I spent with my dad, as he taught me about the different types of grasses and trees that were in abundance on our farm where I grew up! Mind you, my dad felt it was important to notice and know the differences in these types of vegetations and foliage, so there were very many impromptu quizzes on them! But I do cherish those simpler times and I continue to learn and grow more appreciative of the great abundance that is truly….The Great Outdoors!!!

We need to encourage young people to get in touch with the outdoors, gardening, and the satisfaction they bring.
