Human interaction with plants has positive effects on mood, health, etc.

I know that in gardening season, when I'm outdoors everyday, I'm practically giddy all the time. I know it's 'cuz I love seeing my plants, trees, and flowers growing. I talk to them, kiss flowers, fondle their leaves. I even dance with my rake in the garden and who cares what the neighbors think. I don't think they can see me--too woodsy here with vines everywhere.

So I'll bet you're feeling better and you couldn't have done a nicer thing for yourself.

Stunning photo of foxgloves! What a paradise!
