Watering my garden this evening it occured to me yet again how much I enjoy taking care of things and watching them grow and thrive.  It's great to see the plants that are thriving and growing.  I think there's something to be said for the satisfaction that comes with being out in nature, watching things grow and change.  I wonder whether those who claim they aren't "nature people" are that way because they had a negative experience or because they simply weren't exposed to it as a child and stay away from the unfamiliar as they grow up.  I feel sorry for those who aren't able to experience the satisfaction and joy of the simple things that the natural world has to offer.... minus the bugs and sunburn that is, haha.
