Quotes

  • Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
  • Education
    "Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education." -David Polis
  • "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one becomes to feeling ill... Thus if one just keeps walking, everything will be all right." -Soren Kierckgaard
  • Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. - Albert Camus
  • How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Annie Dillard

Berry Farm

The boys and I are really enjoying one of the highlights of early summer right now - fresh strawberries.  We returned to camp recently after a few days away to discover that the strawberries in the patch were ripe and ready to eat.  Silas was ecstatic, he literally jumped and spun around the yard saying "I can't believe it, we actually have our own farm, a berry farm!"  Tiny just got busy picking and eating.

We eat all we can, straight from the patch or baked into delicious treats like strawberry-rhubarb muffins.  This is the life!

Michelle, I love the photo of Levi with the bowl of strawberries, what a great summer the boys are having. I also loved the new haircut. Tiny looks so much like you. He is such a little boy now, where did the toddler go????
