Oh Laurie,
I drew this very wildflower in my nature journal today. I searched around but couldn't find a name. Beside my watercolour I wrote: 50 years of familiarity without an introduction. Now, just a few hours later you have made the introduction! Thank you!
Blessings,
lisa

Don't you love it when that happens? I hadn't known the name for this precious pink poetry till this month either...I learned it at one of our prov.en.der weekends. I loved this plant so much I tried my hand at embroidering it on felted wool. I don't think I can ever forget it.
Thanks for writing, Lisa.

    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." 
    --Charlotte Mason

    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.  ​ 

    In Appreciation
    Photos chosen are linked to their original posts in most cases because I have found something of value there and hope my readers will likewise find a helpful resource.  In the case of miss-attribution or if you desire your work not be linked, please let me know.
