So, do you consider yourself African, South American or Austrian??<br />The whole "nature thing" came by "accident", because after my kids were born, I went to grad. school, so camping was all we could afford back then. So, nature is associated by my kids as having fun, and vacation. Nature and animals are there for us to enjoy, but I didn't grow up with that myself.<br />Thanks for visiting my blog!Jeannette StGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951617490107614687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150709497057343898.post-27647178965947070082009-06-30T08:15:34.973-07:002009-06-30T08:15:34.973-07:00this is one of those spots I have always wanted to...this is one of those spots I have always wanted to visit... one day!<br /><br />thank you for your comment on my blog: I would love to hear your professional opinion as a psychologist and teacher, and your private opinion as a mother about the whole raising children with a deep appreciation and love to nature thing. it is a topic that fascinates me.<br /><br />btw, I am just a pseudo European in that I was born and raised in South Africa, spent a good while in central america and then married an austrian...<br /><br />Dale<br /><a rel="nofollow">http://alpinebirds.blogspot.com</a>Dale Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898040644854359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150709497057343898.post-86362535176169719582009-06-30T01:17:22.667-07:002009-06-30T01:17:22.667-07:00Cottage way of life,
