Small Things, Big Smiles
As I was walking to my office, I started to think about all the small “Gaia-gifts” that make me smile. Here is my top ten, and why I picked them.
- Monarch Caterpillars: because they remind me that transformation is possible
- Walking sticks (the bug): because Gaia’s craftiness is cool
- Bees:because they remind me the sweet nectar of life is there for the taking if you’re willing to get “busy as a bee” and work for it.
- Animal tracks: because, if you examine them and follow them, they always tell a story.
- Burdocks: They are Gaia’s Legos!
- Puffy clouds: because they are a good excuse to lay on your back and let your imagination run wild.
- Daisies: because they smile back.
- Leaves: because they translate the whispers of the wind.
- Ladybugs: because at least some bugs should be “cute.”
- Dandelion fluff: because it reminds me of the ingenuity of seeds.

That is so true! I love all that too, but there is NOTHING like the fresh blackberries and rasberries from my backyard on a summers morining when the grass is wet from dew and no one is awake except you, your dog and the birds!

On the farm where I grew up, we had black raspberries (blackcaps) We used to put bread, butter and sugar in a bowl, cover it with blackcaps and pour a little milk over the whole thing. YUM YUM YUM!
