Thank you, as usual. It feels therefore highly inappropriate but I nonetheless find myself inviting you to add gravitas and erudition to a little Wind in the Willows blog event over at fraise.

I am going to send the link to several of the hikers in my family and they will be inspired. I would post this comment on your blog post but that particular comment format doesn't work for me. Maybe that's why I didn't ever comment on High Desert Home when I used to read your blog there. Thanks for letting me in on the special posting.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-87758196158084695242011-01-12T18:55:02.217-08:002011-01-12T18:55:02.217-08:00I am in my "latter days" of homeschoolin...I am in my "latter days" of homeschooling and still, I love these homey days together. There is a sharing between us even when he is off reading on his own and I am about some other task. We are still at home. Together. <br /><br />I really liked the poetry. <br /><br />jodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-62668153775309430592011-01-12T14:54:34.348-08:002011-01-12T14:54:34.348-08:00Hi!

I've been here many times before, but I don't get around to my old favorite blogs much anymore, so my visits are more sporadic now. I noticed the link at the bottom of this post to "Oregon," and since I live there, I had to follow the trail!<br /><br />I see that you went to Crater Lake last summer. I've been there many, many times for hiking, relaxation, and snow-shoeing. I lived with my family in Klamath Falls for 13 years. That was the setting for an old blog I did (it was called High Desert Home), and I loved being in that wild part of the world.<br /><br />I also see that you were in the Bend area and on Mt. Bachelor. Just a couple of weeks after you were there, I was across the way climbing the South Sister (I have some photos up on a little blog I put together for my family called climbingthesouthsister.blogpost.com, if you're interested in seeing it!).<br /><br />I really love your photos. They stir everything in me that so loves nature. Your words are always so nice to read, too.<br /><br />I'm glad I stopped by today!<br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-29232066523765520222011-01-12T14:39:50.272-08:002011-01-12T14:39:50.272-08:00This is too much a long forgotten art in this day...This is too much a long forgotten art in this day and age...and you have delicately opened a door for anyone who might want to peek into an unclutterd, unhurried day.Jeannettehttp://breadonthewater.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-79944658588613332122011-01-12T11:07:30.635-08:002011-01-12T11:07:30.635-08:00I am loving these poems.

When I stopped teaching, I would often wake up in the morning and realize (with enormous relief) that there was nowhere I had to go and nothing I had to do that day -- wonderful -- 'happiness of being entered me'! I still struggle with balancing the feeling that I need to be constanly productive v. the need to slow down and just live.<br />Blessings,<br /><br />G<br />p.s. adorable photo -- love those braids!Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709314864693421679noreply@blogger.com
