My Take:
Nature Valley Granola Bars have always been a big favorite in my household. I’ve gotten some great deals on them with my coupon skills before, but no matter how many I stockpile, they always seem to disappear in a hurry! So when our friends at MyBlogSpark asked if I wanted to test out the new Nut Clusters, it was a no-brainer! They sent me a “Snack Pack” of my own, containing all four flavors – Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut. We enjoyed them so much that the bags disappeared almost overnight! I served them at brunch one morning and my family went through a whole bag in one sitting. I kept thinking each flavor was my favorite, until I tried the next one and discovered my new favorite. Needless to say, these were a big hit with us, and I think anyone who enjoys Nature Valley granola bars will like these also.
The Nut Clusters also came with a gift set of outdoorsy items. There is a great backpack – perfect for carrying some Nut Clusters on a hike! – and a nice stainless steel water bottle, which is always handy to have on hand. The “Snack Pack” also included an awesome hand crank flashlight that is compact and easy to store; it will come in very handy during the inevitable Oregon coast winter power outages. Don’t get caught short with a flashlight containing dead batteries! The “Snack Pack” also comes with a little pair of binoculars – they aren’t very powerful, but it’s still fun to play around with.
Win it!

I went to maine for the first time this year and it made me love the beautiful autumn leaves even more than I previously had! Not gonna lie though – I was really hoping to see a cool animal (anything other than a deer would’ve been great, but I was hoping for a moose), but didn’t have any luck. Alas.

I can’t pick just one element of nature as I love them all.I love sitting next to a stream and listening to the flowing water or walking through the forest on a crisp fall day looking for signs of wildlife.Thanks!
I love to drive through the country to see all the trees changing colors.
I love to stop along the way and take pictures as well. The smell of burning leaves is also a favorite of mine in the fall.

I love the water. Whether it be oceans, lakes, streams, I love swimming or just listening to the water.

An element of nature I love is rain. I still feel like I did as a child when a thunderstorm comes rolling in and wanting to feel the rain fall on me.
I just love the fall…The cool weather, leaves turning colors, smell of burning leaves, etc. semtaylor(at)yahoo(dot)com
