Favorite Outdoor Activity:
Everything! It's really hard to pick just one single activity since I luff being outdoors. I really luff water gardening; building the pond(s); landscaping the area... gardening in general. I really luff the water, so being in or around water is very soothing.

Most memorable moment in Nature:
Finding a nest of hummingbirds in my yard, saving the nest which was almost torn apart due to an approaching storm, and them watching as the little babies emerged from their teeny tiny little eggs about one week later; watching as their delicate feathers formed turning them into little fluff balls; waking up one day to find nothing but a few discarded behbeh feathers left behind within the nest; feeling a sense of sadness, but with a happy heart knowing that they had made it.

Most doleful moment in nature:
Killing a beautiful little bird with a BB gun at a young age, and then holding the poor thing in my hands shortly thereafter stricken with intense sorrow and grief, for I had so selfishly and pointlessly taken it's life. Having feelings of deep remorse as I thought about the possible babies left behind, now all alone...left to die.
