| Introduction | As someone inspired by Nature, I have chosen my mother's name, Nina Naomi rather than my own. Nina Naomi Kenyon was open, funny, kindhearted and honest. She was a master teacher. May we all have such a person in our lives. Why a Diary of a Nature Lover? Because all of us rely upon Nature to restore and sustain us. This blog contains observations from Nina Naomi because it is she who encouraged me to spend my childhood outside in every weather. And where possible, it contains photos of the nature places that inspire the observations. It is also about simple living, for that is what Nature teaches us and what my mother instilled in her children. Simple nesting, simple wishes, simple food and simple joy in the outdoors. To live simply and count our blessings, to treasure tiny pleasures when life is hard, and look for daily beauty even when all is not well. These are the themes of this blog. May it do the real Nina Naomi justice. |
