Saturday Morning Harvest
By admin, on May 23rd, 2009
The mulberries continue to ripen. The tree is full of mulberries. I read a little bit more in Mark this morning, had some green tea and peeped out the window.
I don’t know of any better therapy than picking berries. Actually there is one: picking berries with a friend.
Grab a bowl or a basket and join me.
Rosemary Gladstar said in her Family Herbal: “What we do and don’t eat, a healthy daily dose of exercise, good sleeping habits, and a positive perspective on life are the golden keys to a high-quality, productive life. ”
I can agree with that.
Enjoy some fresh air and nature today. Practice thankfulness and cultivate the habit of happiness.
Happy Saturday,
Lynn

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Beautiful pictures! You always inspire me to get out more Lynn. Our garden seeds should be arriving soon! I can’t wait!
Dear Lynn,
We’ll be right over to help pick, if we can find a bucket or basket without crayons or pine cones in it!
The package was waiting for us when we came back from a little nature outing to the river. Suddenly the tadpoles and triops didn’t seem so exciting anymore! Thank you so much for everything.
Love,
Marqueta
Thanks, Jen!
Stepping outside for even a few minutes keeps me sane on my work days!
Marqueta, I’m so glad it arrived safe and sound! I was afraid I didn’t package it securely enough. We love being pen pals with you all!
