STANDING  on  the  porch  outside  my





                  kitchen  door,  I  watch  the  stretching





                  landscape before me. I water my potted





                  plants  and  take  a  deep  breath  in.  The





                  crisp morning breeze has a slight chill to





                  it. Droplets of water coat the earth after





                  the rain last night. I love the smell of the





                  dirt after a good rain. Gracie's swing set






                  sits in the corner of the garden, and her




                  treehouse is right above it, built in an old






                  maple tree.
