Isn't it fantastic when you and your spouse enjoy the same things! This photo shows Jeff on our nature walk and his playful smile reminds me how special my marriage is to me. Our nature walks have brought us closer together than ever as we experience God's marvelous Creation.
It's easy to plunk down on the couch and switch on the TV by remote control...at times we can't find the remote and don't know how to turn the TV on. LOL It's easy to find activities where you aren't interacting with your spouse at all but rather absorbed in what's happening on the TV or computer monitor. It's easy to start blocking each other out.
Jeff's having fun in this photo- pulling the evergreen branch in front of his face - tells me he needs these nature walks, and I know my heart needs to see him happy like this. It's great we both love nature so much and can share our delight in it. And best of all, nature is free from electric so you aren't paying for anything while you're having a great time. :D
Enjoy the outdoors!!!

Great post. You both seem to be so happy. Nature is wonderful. As you know I used to live in the desert. One of my favorite activities was walking miles and miles through the wilderness doing nothing but admiring nature. So I understand where you are coming from.
Keep it up.
Your marriage is so inspiring--I love that the two of you find time to be together outdoors on a regular basis. It makes me YEARN to move out of the city!
Swubird, that must have been grand discovering the beauty of the desert!!! I hope you post about it. I have found kindred spirits blogging and treasure every find. :D
Jen, I have a funny feeling you'll move out of the city one of these days. Nature is part of who you are. :D
Have a super day!!!
Hugs, JJ

That is beautiful and I'll add that to the post today and link to you. :D

For 10 years in Canada I didn't watch TV (hiking some of the beautiful areas around Niagara, instead.) It's amazing how your brain starts really WORKING again after a while. I think everyone should try to give it up--even for just a month!
Continued happiness with your hubby. Charles & I seem much the same. :)
What a beautiful thing to do, Lana. :D Your hiking around the Niagara area must have been spectacular. :D
WOOT! that you and Charles have such a great relationship. :D
Hugs, JJ
contentment in smile(Jeff) and same in words(JJ) speaks the harmony of music JJ!
JJ love it, great to see a couple in love with nature and each other, very inspiring.
Merging Point, how lovely. :D You're such a beautiful soul. :D
Hugs, JJ
Thank you, Bob. :D Jeff and I are truly blessed as you are. :D
Good morning!!!
Hugs, JJ
Glad you and Jeff are enjoying the great weather!
It's beautiful here today, and since I'm officially on summer break as of two days ago, I'm heaving a huge sigh of relief and enjoying it all with no studying hanging over me.
Have a great day!
I couldn't agree with you more, JJ! And I'm happy for your happiness.
I know that being out in nature means more to me than any other activity, and is the basis for all my creative impulses!
I also think that how we relate to nature has a lot to do with how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to other people! :)
Hi! If Jeff is happy so am I. If you're happy so I'm I. Seeing that you're both happy, I'm doubly happy.
See! things do come in threes and that makes me triply happy.
Now, if my wife had a picture of me like that, it would mean I've been naughty and I've been caught.
Take Care,
Peter
Lee, WOOT!!! Summer break from college. WOOT!!! It must feel great being able to have a day you have scheduled. :D I am so PROUD of you for going back to school, a hard thing to do. You'll have time for outdoors also. :D WOOT!!!
Lynda, you are so right. We see the gifts in nature and want to share what has delighted us with others. It's a great experience for the hungry soul. :D Thank you.
Peter, LOL on the *caught* photo. Jeff and I are lucky to live in the area we do. :D What would I do without friends like you. I love your humor.
Hugs, JJ
Congrats JJ, You are lucky to have a hubby like Jeff..its really good too see a couple like you guys.
God bless you both
Thank you, Angel. When a couple are first married, it's hard to give up some of the individuality that needs to go so *two can become one*. After 20 years it sinks in. :D
Hugs,JJ
Nature is BEST! I like to spend my time walking in parks, seeing animals.
Astrogalaxy, we're kindred spirits. :D It's sooo easy to become caught up in technology that we miss out on the peacefulness around us.
Hugs, JJ
Hu Guys,
I just stopped by to say hello to a nice couple
Wild wave, Angel, from the both of us. :D I had you on mind today too.
Hugs, JJ
