“Man’s heart away from nature becomes hard.” -Standing Bear
One of the unexpected benefits of living in our Airstream has been getting closer to nature. I’m so much more aware of the seasons than I was when we lived in an apartment. I can now head into my backyard and see the beans growing or the field barren. I hear the rain on the roof and I can feel the hot sun through our windows.
I used to think I wasn’t an outside person. There’s bugs and creatures and humidity out there! But there’s also a softness and quietness about living closer to nature. Nature is the ultimate minimalist.

I think as we get older; we appreciate nature more; animals; plants; rivers; sky; and more; I have a bird and animal feeder behind my place; so I watch the birds and critters come up and eat. Nature is grand; but stay away from those nasty Ticks………lol
Haha, so true! The ticks have been terrible at my place this year. But I’ll make the sacrifice (and wear bug spray) to hang out in the glory of nature!
