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 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.
