The sun is out and for a few hours the family gets to be together and do very little. This is life visiting the grandparents. Our daughter loves being here and having a little garden to play in.

I am hoping that one of these days, we will be able to either travel or, get a little place where we can have a little garden ourselves to take care of. It is nice to have somewhere green to play though and learn to care for the environment.

I remember doing this as a kid with my mum and we had a lot if edible foods. Almond trees, apricots, figs, mint and a massive amount of spinach. My mother was a good cook and she made a brilliant spinach pie.

Perhaps in the future more people will disciver the pleasure and importance of nature, especially those in the cities. If I was a town planner, nature would be integrated into every aspect possible. I think if people spent more time surrounded by green, they would be much calmer. I don't mean money either.

Unfortunately, it does currently take money to change this world for the better as we just aren't ready to volunteer at the levels needed. I think things could be very different when my daughter is my age and if we make the right moves now, much, much better.

If there is ever a reason to work toward, it is for a better life for our children.
