“Needs of body, needs of mind, e.g., food, warmt “Needs of body, needs of mind, e.g., food, warmth, healing – love, justice, hope, companionship, security, etc., etc. A long list –do you notice that in a really happy home they all get attention? Not all at once, all the time, but each need gets answered, some time, in some way. We are in need and we feel a desire, we want something deeply, passionately – affection, notice, a friend, quiet, whatever it may be. Our needs are the ground of our human nature from which our thoughts, hopes, fears and joys grow up. Children are especially needy people. That is why Fathers and Mothers must be peacemakers, must give loving thought and care in order that the children may have their four great needs supplied – Leadership, Healing, Feeding, and Teaching.” (Essex Cholmondeley, “Parents Are Peacemakers”)

I don’t know why, after having lived a whole lif I don’t know why, after having lived a whole life in very wintery winters, we have never thought of riding a bike in the snow!

Serafina was looking for something different to do and she thought “why not”?

They do make special “fat tires” for biking on snow. But she did it with her regular tires. Granted, there wasn’t any freshly fallen snow, so the roads here on campus had snow that was really packed down.

She had no trouble at all. And she quite enjoyed herself!

Our recommendation is to try it out on a not-windy day. 😀

Does your family do snowy bike rides?

“It is quite a mistake to think that children do “It is quite a mistake to think that children do not get interested in the great plays,” wrote Arthur Burrell. “But it is quite true that they want something more than the play; they want the story brought vividly before them.”

Burrell was the author of “Recitation: A Handbook for Teachers,” a book which according to Charlotte Mason was more or less the last word on the subject. He wrote for the Parents’ Review and read Mason’s essays to audiences at PNEU conferences. And he knew a thing or two about Shakespeare, whom he referred to as “the first dramatic poet in the world.”

“Straightway there comes to one of the actors in the scene some thought which hinges but slightly on the incident or accident, and Shakspeare soars,” explained Burrell. “The theatre is gone, the world is left; out come high burning words; the poet’s pen has seized upon the things unknown; the poet’s eye has left the earth and glanced at heaven. For these flights the reader requires a corresponding voice-inflection; he is no longer reading to friends, or to an audience; he is lifted above himself; and if he realises the inward exultation that the poet must have felt, his hearers will share that exultation with him.”

When A. W. Tozer tried to understand the works of Shakespeare, “he read them through on his knees, asking God to help him understand their meaning.” Perhaps there is an easier way. Roma Gill wrote that “easily the best way to understand and appreciate Shakespeare’s verse is to read it aloud.” I think Burrell would have agreed.

I don’t read Shakespare on my knees. I read it with my voice and with my ears, as I hear son, daughter, and bride each play a part. Weeks of family read-alouds have turned into months which have turned into years. And from time to time, as with the poet’s eye, our eyes left the earth and glanced at heaven too.

This teasel was as tall as me and I hope to go ba This teasel was as tall as me and I hope to go back in summer to capture its purple inflorescence. Their seeds are a favorite winter food of finches and I was able to spot a male goldfinch in his winter coat atop a seed head.

Winter wildflowers have such a striking architectural quality about them. Have any made it into your nature journal?
