Surrounded by Green

Spring was a long time coming. I didn’t realized how desperately I missed the color green until last week, when I saw it burst into life all around me.

Heavenly green.

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.

    I am addicted to green. The ONLY reason I tolerate (and barely do) winter is because I have three seasons of green, flowery bliss. 🙂 I’m so glad spring is here, too…SO GLAD. 🙂

    I too am so happy that spring is finally here. It always amazes me at how fast the trees bud and then poof one day all at once the leaves are on the trees.

  • You’re making me miss springtime and we’ve just said goodbye to summer! Such a beautiful picture!

  • Gorgeous park picture. I too (though I love winter) couldn’t wait to see the trees burst into bloom.

  • Is that vision near you? Such gorgeousness. Love it.

  • Ruchira

    I’m in Connecticut. The photo was taken at a park in Danbury. I was kind of shocked at the beauty of this spot, in an otherwise not-so-beautiful town!

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]

Ancient Egyptian Paper Mache Pottery

My youngest daughter has always been fascinated with ancient Egypt. This unique part of history never seems to loose it’s lure.  Creating a paper mache bowl with an Egyptian flair was  a  fun way to explore her interests and  learn about hieroglyphs and Egyptian art. This was the first time (in 13 years of mothering) […]
