Lovely poem! Emily Dickinson was so good at putting images of nature into words along with deeper meanings of life. Thank you for sharing.

We are doing the Greeks right now and this sounds like an excellent book to read after we finish "The Greek Way" by Edith Hamilton. I love those quotes!

I love the Brightly Shining card. O Holy NIght is one of my favorite Christmas hymns and the dusk color is so pretty.

Thanks for the giveaway.

Howard Pyle's four books on Arthur and the knights of Camelot are deeply loved here. When I gave my youngest son the first one, the language was too archaic for him to read easily by himself so he asked me to read it aloud. We have gone on to read them all together and I wouldn't have traded that for anything. The language, the chivalry, the morality, the beauty of ideas and pictures will remain with us both always.

We've also read The Wonder Clock and Men of Iron but I didn't know about Pepper and Salt. I need to go find a copy. Thanks, Leila.

Oh, I love Trollope. I'm making my way through the Barchester Chronicles right now. I'm at the beginning of Framley Parsonage, the fourth one, and already cringing at some of the problems I can see coming. I adored "Dr. Thorne" as a book and the character himself. I haven't read "The Eustace Diamonds" yet. I"ll have to look for it at my library.

I love these bits and pieces. There are so many interesting and thoughtful things. Thanks for sharing.

I just received some new dish towels as a wedding present and that coating is driving me crazy! I must try boiling water and vinegar. What good is a towel that doesn't dry?

I agree about books and "imposing" our values on our children. If we don't teach the children our own values, the world will be all too happy to fill that vacuum with trash. I always had veto power when we went to the library and more than once a library book went into the return bin before we left. I am loving your library project posts.

What a lovely shawl! I would like to find time for knitting again soon. Perhaps this summer. Thank you for your thoughts on prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice and for that lovely prayer. I'm going to use that prayer in my devotional time to try to quiet my heart in the midst of my busy days.
