QUESTION:
while I become exuberantly
joyfal over something and
Tm afraid I act like a little
kid about it. For example,
the other day I was peeling
an orange when I was struck
with the amazing dexterity
and know-how of good old
Mother Nature. I sat there
utterly caught up in the
wonders of an orange! For
vears I have quite taken
oranges for granted. But this
time my orange hecame
omething special to me.
‘est there was the won-

Then I marvelled at the
way my orange .was ail

overawed at the incredible
competence of Mother

grinning about my new
discovery of something that
has been going on for
centuries. Ain't nature
grand. Are you suddenly
grateful for that sort of
thing.

STEWART: Oh yes, I am.
Have you ever examined a
snapdragon up close?
Marvellous! The other day a
big bumble bee lit on the
lower lip of a snapdragon in
our back yard and I giggled

There’s an entirely dif-

even VERY possessive,

But, if this
relatively recent thing you've

you would be wise to cool
your possessiveness and give
him a chance to feel safer

delighted because I didn’t

know he ‘had left his pruners.
(Is that a real word —
pruners?) I felt deliciously
wicked about practically
owning my new find. No way
