Why read about nature when it is right outside our window/door?

It's quite funny how I'll be walking down the street, get a whiff of a familiar scent and suddenly be bombarded with childhood memories. Thanks for a great post.<br />Blessings<br />Shirley AnnShirley-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678506786099888928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-63996650400260482042011-08-30T17:54:20.753-07:002011-08-30T17:54:20.753-07:00It's amazing how a whiff of woodsmoke or even ...It's amazing how a whiff of woodsmoke or even thinking about it can take me back to running up my drive in the chill fall twilight and bursting into the warmth of home and Mom's cooking. <br />The scent of decaying leaves in the autumn woods, fir trees, being at sea, nearing land and breathing in the warm spruce scented air, these are all the scents of my childhood. <br />I have seen this disconnect you are speaking of and it is a sad thing. I hope and pray for wisdom to instill a connectedness to the earth and her changing seasons in my children. <br />I am thankful for Charlotte's wisdom.<br />Great post! It has given me food for thought.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002880968350629169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-21189237190845304692011-07-31T15:40:37.751-07:002011-07-31T15:40:37.751-07:00Reading this makes me want to start my blog...

I do recall the scent very well! :)<br /><br />Scents that send me strong memories are freshly-cut grass, rain on the pavement, chemicals in a beauty salon (probably not the healthiest scent for kids, lol!), leaves burning in the backyard.<br /><br />We had a friend who, because of an accident, lost his sense of smell. That loss, in turn, meant that he lost his sense of taste. And that loss, in turn, meant he lost the pleasure of eating, a sensual pleasure he never even knew he had until he lost it.<br /><br />Wonderful topic....lots for me to think about as I plan our homeschooling days...are they smelly enough?? :)Charlotte Mason in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745354878221696596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-29267685650607023262011-07-28T19:17:38.289-07:002011-07-28T19:17:38.289-07:00yes, it is a good magazine.

Great blog!<br />I spent all summers outside in my childhood on Long Island and I have a picture of eternity in that education!Bonnie Buckinghamhttp://beingtransformed-bonnie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-47481174607406140472011-07-28T18:02:41.096-07:002011-07-28T18:02:41.096-07:00I meant gift card, not coupon, sorry!

I was thinking how new I am to this, first generation of teaching my daughters differently. I also don't have those memories, and it shouldn't be like that.<br />I love how you weaved this post. A few weeks ago, translating about habits from Mason, I also read the part about the nursery and when she says most of us adults don't have a sense of smell... and how pitiful. And how the children and us need to develop this sense and be able that way to smell when something is wrong in the babies clothes, the difference between fresh air and stagnated air inside the house, and that should be a experience we crave, to smell outdoors. I thought you'd quote from there, but I'm realizing that, obviously, Mason had this present in more than one section of her writings.<br />We now have figs, and we've enjoyed our own apples, beans, lemons, onions, herbs... I wish for my children to be feel and experience as Chris Kimball writes.<br />Connecting with something totally different, Michael Savage was saying how many Americans (and I extend that to Europeans too :) don't know what they are eating when they go to restaurants, which, by the way, the word comes from restore, meaning to enjoy a meal in peace and tranquility, which is far away from the atmosphere of many restaurants, and the tone the customers set with their anxious requests for this extra, not that, and their hurried behavior with cells, texting, and even small tv's, yes, crazy, that's what I saw last time we went, with a coupon, to the ultra expensive Taste of Texas, when many many people again, hold a fork and a knife like true Barbarians, which we in my family, hold as anathema! ha ha ha. We believe nobody with a proper use of a fork and knife should be granted the chance to eat any quality piece of meat! ha ha ha. May that be because we don't have those layers of understanding food?Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.com
