I am enjoying your blog so much. <br />When do you think your next book will come out - the one based on the Parent Review magazine?<br /><br />Louise in AustraliaLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343902100920059797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-19129608718423300332010-09-13T14:23:12.196-04:002010-09-13T14:23:12.196-04:00I am in the process of reading Pocketful of pineco...I am in the process of reading Pocketful of pinecones, I love this idea of the gentle art of learning. I am a 50 year old Mother of 3 adult children, grandma to a 3 month old grandson, I did not home school, our children went to a private Christian School.I am now encouraging my daughter and future daughter-in-law in this gentle art of learning. I plan to purchase these books, one by one, and share them with them.They are both planning to home-school, so I feel that even though I missed out on this wonderful opportunity, they will not. Thank you for allowing God to use you to share with so many others, what every Mother should consider. God Bless You...Dawn E.

What a lovely place for us homeschooling mothers to find inspiration and encouragement. <br /><br />I have taken the Edith Holden book out from the library, and I was amazed at her careful artwork and penmanship. It truly is an inspiration.Laura Jeannehttp://gettingthere.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-28075327287536021352010-09-10T18:18:27.607-04:002010-09-10T18:18:27.607-04:00I read Edith's biography and was quite surpris...I read Edith's biography and was quite surprised to find out how weird she and her family were.<br /><br />I gave the biography to the library for their sale but will never part with "Country Diary". She may have been odd but she certainly wrote and illustrated a great book.<br /><br />My daughter found a copy at a library sale for $1.00 a few years ago. She said she could not help getting all excited and the volunteers taking money were curious as to which book made her so happy. :)Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-30611264349248954172010-09-10T13:16:44.511-04:002010-09-10T13:16:44.511-04:00Karen,

My husband,our four young boys, and I were visiting family. They took us hiking through some beautiful woods. The children's fingers quickly became stained with the magenta berries. I was unable to answer my six-year-old's perennial question, "Mommy, what are THESE?" Upon returning home, the berries were forgotten (though usually I do pull out my field guides.) But thanks to you, I was able to point out to the children not only the name of the berries, but also the little gem you shared regarding their use as ink for writing the Declaration of Independence, which we are studying right now! It's wonderful how these associations are made without much effort as we go about our daily lives, isn't it? <br /><br />Kellykellys4boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073673701514824671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-78632846220722140782010-09-09T22:04:48.497-04:002010-09-09T22:04:48.497-04:00I also have The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady...I also have The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden. I did not know there is a video of this book. I went online after reading your post and found the one you have. I also saw others with the same title that are labeled "Summer", "Spring", and "Fall". Do you by chance know what the difference is in these? They are all VHS tapes and seem to have the same actors in them. I always look forward to each of your posts and save them carefully for just the right time to read them. (meaning while the children are busy, napping, doing schoolwork, or sleeping) Thank you so much for such a peaceful place of inspiration!Autumnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-78446763375847236602010-09-09T20:43:34.320-04:002010-09-09T20:43:34.320-04:00I have the Country Diary books by Edith Holden.
