“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” —Rachel Carson

Day 28 of the 30 Days of Gratitude Challenge: Your favorite thing about nature.

Answer: Besides everything? The above quote is my favorite thing about nature. I find so much comfort in the rhythm of our seasons. The first winter crocus of the year sets in motion a series of routine blooming sessions that make me so happy. I know what to expect to see and where to expect to see it. There really is something so healing about it.
