In my Nature Notebook...

11/7/2011

Tamarack trees in the Ottawa Valley this weekend. They are the only conifer I know that drop their needles in the fall. They always look like someone forgot to water them but I know eastern Ontario recorded their wettest year ever this year. The woods were glowing even though most of the deciduous trees had already lost their leaves. Native Americans made Goose Decoys out the pliable twigs once the needles had dropped.
Anybody want to make one?

won't keep; something must be done about them."

A Charlotte Mason education leads to all kinds of ideas! Join me in keeping one or several of the notebooks she prescribed and discover the Science of Relations and the Art of Mindfulness.

"Perhaps this is one of the secrets of life--to know 'glory' when we see it."

Virtual Life?

A wee explanation: this website was created as a way to amplify the daily surprise of seeing glory in one small life. The notebook entries represented here are all selected from things actually lived and noted on paper in an effort to live the full life British educator Charlotte Mason so ably championed.
