We made a friend from the blogging realm, Deana, who has a fabulous blog about her life and a second blog with one of the most inspiring stories you'll ever read about her son's miraculous exhistence (from her site, click on Max's story). Anyways, she often has questions on her blog. She asks, then answers in the comments and invites her many readers to answer in comments also. It is a great way to share our lives and get to know each other while we're at it. So, I thought I would do the same from time to time.

What in nature mesmerizes you, excites you, gives you peace...
the sky mesmerizes me, sunsets, sunrises, stars, clouds...
I get excited when I see something I've never noticed before like the intricate detail in a certain flower or especially with animals. I sat and watched some ducks preening themselves about an hour once (pre-Ivan).
As soon as I'm around water (lake, pond, waterfall, river, pool, rain churning down our street...) I automatically feel my heart slow and my body sigh. I get peace just by seeing water and love being in it!
I agree the sky...I could lay day or night and stare at the sky.
i get excited in storms...something very strong and full of majesty with lightening and wind and thunder.
I am calm in the mountains here. Up in the mountains...hidden in a grove of Aspen trees...that's where God lives here in Colorado.
Thanks for the questions Angela!
What mesmerisze me is the calm of winter. Trees covered in snow, wide fields laying there in peace.
What excites me is the spring. Green gras, flowers in all kind of colors. Engery and live during that time. And it is espacially strong when I see spring at home. There is nothing that can compare to that.
What calmes me down is the autumn in Austria. No kidding, that is the best way to relax me and to get peace within me. I am an autumn child...I love those colors.
Growth.
Silence.
I was snowshoeing along Blackstrap lake a couple of days ago. It was just at the beginning of sunset and still quite warm. It was awesome walking on top of the snow.
Deana, I've always liked storms too. My cousin Lin and I slept on a balcony all night once to be in the midst of all the thunder and lightning. It was awesome.
OK Andrea, the idea is not to make me homesick! Just joking. There is so much I miss about the snow and ice that I could not list it all here!
Thank you Jen for the vivid description, beautiful, I got to snowshoe right with you (without the cold).
Brian, thank you my love- for sharing and for doing all the work in the garden. I'm glad you enjoy it, I like eating it all.
I think you described my favourite memory of you and i sleeping on your deck. i think we both ended up with colds eh? that has to be the best sight. thunder and lightning all around you. Just the magnificence of it all. I think there is so much to comment on that i can not begin to describe everything. I am not sure i believe i was with you at the mcmillans farm. that was the first and last time that i have ever seen a moon rise. we both thought it was the sun setting and were then completely confused,(not very good navigators when it came to news)I never knew that there could be so many colours in a moon rise. I was awestruck and just sat there and stared. We were both jumping on the trampoline and both of us just stopped and enjoyed the view in amazement.
Babies mesmerize me.
Sunrises excite me. A new beginning.
Gardens of flowers give me peace.
Just wish I could grow one.
