Thousands of varities of flowers, trees, birds, animals, metals, and changes of weather and seasons.

We all need a wide variety of interests to keep us ever growing mentally, physically and spiritually. We live among a multitude of influencesâ€"â€"and their effect upon us, unconciously, is far beâ€" yond our calculation or measurement.
