But nature is just so darn unpleasant out here on the prairie. It is cold, and then it is hot, and then on one of the few temperate days… the wind blows 30 mph. A picnic must include bandannas on the head to ward off ticks, stinky bug spray to keep the chiggers and mosquitoes away, and weights on the dishes and tablecloth to keep them from taking off in the “breeze”. Most of the time, I view nature from triple paned windows with screens.
That being said, birds and flight and vast horizons nearly always inspire me. I need to get out more and breathe in the humid, pollen-filled air! I am in Kansas and that is not going to change. There is no place like home, there is no place like home….
