It's true! NATURE Brings Fresh PERSPECTIVE! Join me for an Afternoon ROAD TRIP! In today's video, I share several interesting spots on a spontaneous drive through the countryside. Come with me and enjoy the Butte Creek Ridge and the Skyway, peaceful nature views and sounds, and cute baby cows. 😊

It's NATURE THERAPY with a ROAD TRIP!

Both science and personal experience have proven to me that nature boosts your mood and nature brings joy. So when I need a pick-me-up (which I definitely do in the middle of winter on an overcast day), I jump in the car and take a beautiful NATURE Road Trip!

I hope you enjoy this slower-paced, quiet video, and if so, I'd love it if you'd give it a thumbs up and share it with others. Thanks so much! And if you haven't subscribed yet, now would be a great time to do so. I'm planning to publish more videos of my countryside jaunts and hikes in the coming weeks and months, as well as more simple living ideas for your garden and your life.

ALSO, just a quick correction -- though I always pride myself on knowing my directions, I misspoke at the beginning of the video, saying Paradise was about 45 minutes NE of my home. Actually, it's SOUTHEAST -- and I do KNOW that! (Duh....!)

Now here are a couple of OTHER VIDEOS I think you might enjoy:

~~TIME for a GARDEN PROJECT! What is a MEDLAR TREE?~~

In this recent video, I transform a boring corner of land into a simple but pretty landscaped area that welcomes me as I drive up my driveway and park. Using inexpensive cement blocks, free, soil-nurturing woodchips, and a few flower seedlings, I quickly remake a small neglected area into something beautiful. It's a place I can sit and relax any time I need a little peace and quiet.

~~Can NATURE Make You FEEL Better? SELF-CARE through NATURE!~~

Nature is a wonderful reprieve any time life's challenges seem a bit overwhelming or if, for whatever reason, we're feeling down and alone. In this video, I enjoy a short but valuable nature retreat in my own garden. Nature is incredible! I'm always amazed and thrilled with the way it lifts my spirits, calms my stressed nerves, and helps me look at things differently, all at the same time. Join me for a quiet, thoughtful garden chat about the free, therapeutic benefits of nature!


Thanks for joining me today, folks! If you have any questions about the events or places discussed in this video, feel free to ask. Or if there's something you'd like me to cover on my channel related to road trips (short ones or extensive ones!), simple living despite health issues and financial challenges, or the self-reliant lifestyle in general, please leave a comment below or shoot me an email message. I'd love to hear from you! kim@olivecityhomestead.com

Your fellow nature-lover and friend,
