Still Learning

I have recently admitted to myself that I am not a nature lover. I have fought this admission for some time now, but it is just not worth it. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mind being outside I just don't get a thrill from it. I like gardening, or walking, or running outside, but just being there and relaxing is not my thing. I don't know if I am just not a "be-er" yet, but I really only like being outside if I am doing something. I attribute this lack of desire for wanting to relax outside to three main things: 1) The atmosphere is never right outside. It is either too hot, or too cold, or too windy, or too dusty. 2) The furniture for the outdoors is not very comfortable. 3) BUGS. I really don't like bugs and we must admit that you can't be outdoors without encountering them unless it is very cold which would point us back to reason number one. A screened porch is my ideal for relaxing in nature--the fresh air, comfortable furniture and a greatly reduced bug population. This is why a screened porch is on my list of must-haves for any future abode.
