Mind if I ask you a question?

Just WHAT were you doing up at 1am? Did you have trouble following the relaxation orders of the collective?

Try to have a relaxed day today, 'kay?

I am in central time, so 1 for ya'll is only 12 for me.

I just posted that I slept from 12 (right after I posted the birthday) to 6:45. Slept just like a baby.

Thanks for caring and for the great site.

I know what you mean about that web site. I always forget about it, and then seem to remember it just when I need it most. I think one of the most beautiful things about it is the fact that the most soothing of photos can be found *anywhere*...probably in your own backyard. You just have to "pause" long enough to see it.

Have a great one!

Don't I wish my back yard looked like that!

Alot of the pictures reminded me of Missouri we are totally in the country up there. Deer and turkeys in front yard. Nearest town about 15 miles away.

You actually hear nothing..but nature.

At my house. Actually tonight my neighbor yelled at me from under her carport to open my bedroom window (i was filing papers and she saw me) so we could talk.

She is under her carport and I am in my bedroom and we are talking as if she was standing next to me, no yelling no voice rasing that is how close the houses are.

My front yard is about 10 feet and the back yard is about 20 feet (we have swing set and trampoline and my table and the yard is full)

Kinda see now why my kids love going to Missouri, My uncles house sits on 5 acres and he has another 40 acres with a cabin on it about a mile down from his house.

But you are right even in my small yard I sit at my table and listen to the birds and other "nature" I try. trust me I try.
