“From their earliest babyhood children can and s “From their earliest babyhood children can and should be given interests and pursuits, therefore we encourage them to note their observations and to reproduce, however roughly at first, in their nature note-books, the treasures they have found, and above all we want them to have that loving interest in ‘birds, and beasts, and butterflies’ which will teach them that life is a sacred cycle, not to be tampered with, so that the protection of an apparently valueless lady-bird means fewer greenfly and therefore more roses and therefore more pleasure in life.”

— R. A. Pennethorne, PR10, p. 558

“Life, in any real sense, is the knowledge of Go “Life, in any real sense, is the knowledge of God now,” writes Charlotte Mason; “and, without that knowledge, there cannot be the free and joyous activity of our powers, the glow of our feelings, the happy living, free from care, the open eye for all beauty, the open heart for all goodness, the responsive mind, the tender heart, the aspiring soul—which go to make up fulness of life.”

In Luke 16 the Pharisees scoffed at Christ’s teaching about riches. Charlotte Mason wrote an unpublished poem that extrapolates from this text and imagines what the conversation between Christ and the Pharisees might have been like. She understood that their interaction was about more than just money. She wrote:

“What men give
Proclaim them not acceptable to God
But what they love, desire exceedingly
Nor ever let it from their thoughts remove.”

It is not what we give or what we do that makes for life. It is what we love. Read or hear about the knowledge which goes to make up fulness of life. Find it at the profile link.

Did you know that Edith Holden taught nature journ Did you know that Edith Holden taught nature journaling at a private school for 14 to 17-year-old girls?

Her standards were high, yet she never criticized her students. Rather, she taught by example, offering guidance and direction.

For many years, Serafina has been trying to grow w For many years, Serafina has been trying to grow watermelons. Living in gardening zone 3b, this is no mean feat.

We’ve tried in the ground, we’ve tried in a pot. This year we opted for a pot again, hoping we could place the plant where it would get the most sun.

This year only one watermelon flower actually fruited. We kept watching it, hoping it would grow and sweeten.

And then the frost hit it a few nights ago. I had covered my tomato plants before going to bed, but I completely forgot about this watermelon.

So the next day, we decided to pick the single fruit. Though it surely could have used another couple of weeks of sunshine.

We found it very white inside. But with the tiniest hint of watermelon flavour. (Swipe through to see the inside photo.)

Please, send tips. (Zone 9 tips might not help, dear southern friends, but we will take them!)
