We  have been reading a book about how to notice more and have a better appreciation for nature. For example here is a something easy you can try. In your house, sit with your eyes closed and take 10 deep slow breaths. Now go outside in your yard or the woods and do the same thing. You have to really do it, not just imagine it. It’s amazing! Now when I just walk to the mailbox I notice things a lot more.  Here is a tree that has stripes just like me!  I am almost  camoflaged  camouflaged ! 

And  here is a neighbors beautiful paperbark tree. It is so cool!

Here is a conifer in our yard with new growth starting.  It is fun to notice new things!

Also we got the photo of me with the K9 police dog from a couple pf weekends ago!!!  It’s totally awesome !!  I thought it would be funny to have the police dog hold me in his mouth for the picture but we were told I might not be returned in one piece.  Even a Tiger is no match for a professional K9 police dog!
