As a kid I spent a lot of time outside on our front porch. When I was older, I spent a lot of time in the backyard, my folks and my own, enjoying watching the sky, the birds, the animals. For me it brought peace.

Nowadays I’m not outside except to get mail, or grocery deliveries, sometimes sit on my small porch early in the morning. But I have always been grateful for the parts of nature the Lord has allowed me to experience, and now I put You Tube videos on of natural fields, forests, rivers, farms, animals…

A substitute perhaps, but I’m thankful for those who create the videos that often fill my home with nature sounds and sights.

I’ll share one I found the other day.
