Yesterday we had the most lovely snow day. The woods were simply begging us to come and explore. We had new trails to find and secret passageways and hideouts. Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. George Washington Carver There were tracks to follow. And tracks to make. Occasionally, the wind blew mini blizzards of snow around us. And then the sun returned and the sky gleamed blue. The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. Ralph Waldo Emerson There were hints of Spring. And reminders of winter. We made wonderful memories. And then, there were the snowy camellias. I got a little swept away by their color and beauty. I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. e.e. cummings
I LOVE the idea of 52 weeks of new recipes- one a week? I can't wait to add that to the 52 weeks of organizing. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteI started by printing the 52 weeks list yesterday. Then, without writing anything on it, I went down to the basement and organized one corner. Just one corner...and it felt like I had moved a mountain. Then, I went to my desk, toppling over with papers, kids' art projects, magazines to read, and some junk mail, and I purged and organized it. Then, I went to the canned goods cupboard and cleaned it out. Have several things that are not in our new, better eating plan, so they are going to be given away. Next, for the dry goods cupboard - 1/2 way done there, but have to interrupt it to go to an activity with the kids. I guess I was too excited to tackle the messes and corners to write anything down! It's still blank!
