    I think that people who spend a lot of time inside and on screens loose a lot. There are so many wonderful things outside. The sky changes it colors and shades every day, it is never the same. Listening to the birds or even the wind in the trees... I really enjoy the "small" miracles that nature gives to us every single day.

    I planted a lemon tree on my yard. My husband and I felt so happy! It might seem something small, but we are very excited to see it grow, bring benefits to birds and butterflies, give extra shadow to our dogs, and a lot of lemons of course!

    Hummingbirds and bees!!

    I just saw a documentary called The Hummingbird Effect, it is impressive the impact such a small bird has on the ecosystem. They make possible the reproduction of plants and trees, providing food for a lot of species. Incredible!
