Quotography: Winter


“Nature looks dead in winter 
her life is gathered into her heart.  
She withers the plant down to the root 
that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger.  
She calls her family together within her inmost home 
to prepare them for being scattered abroad 
upon the face of the earth.”
~Hugh Macmillan, "Rejuvenescence," 
The Ministry of Nature, 1871~

This hits especially close to home since all my children and grandbabykins were all gathered together under one roof for the holidays. It's hard to comprehend that nature is still quite alive and well even in the coldest of winters.

Organic and Fresh Salad

  The beans seen above and layered on my salad below are grown by my granddaughter Candice.  The name of the beans is Tanya's Pink Pods. All veggies on her Earth Candy Acres farm are organically grown. The beans are delicious and tender, making a grand addition to my salad. Topping the veggies are dried cranberries, adding a bit of sweetness.
