Have you ever been in the fields on a spring day, and heard nothing at all but your own voice and the voices of your companions, and then, perhaps, suddenly you have become silent, and you find a concert going on of which you had not heard a note? At first you hear the voices of the birds; then, by degrees, you perceive high voices, low voices, and middle voices, small notes and great notes, and you begin to wish you knew who sang each of the songs you can distinguish. – Charlotte Mason, Vol. 4 p. 30

Our land is brightly colored and the AIR conditioner actually kicked ON today. ( only because my husband works from home and was HOT) …me , I was out and about taking Emma to choir.
Great books. I had never seen the Plutarch one.
Have you ever thought of A Child's History of England by Dickens for Citizenship. It came OUT of my mouth this morning to my sibling Poetry class as we were reading Tennyson!
