We all have the need to be trained to see and to have our eyes opened

before we can take in the joy

that is meant for us in this beautiful life.”

–Charlotte Mason

** I’m taking the Back 2 Basics Charlotte Mason course from the fabulous Leah Bolden at Modern Miss Mason.  It starts on Jan 31st.  I’d love to have *you* join us.

** This same window is on the Homeschooling and Working from Home with Ease page.

** I have plans to take photos based on the prompts in Adventure in Seeing all year through and thought it would be fun to share them here.  Maybe even every week!

** Joy is my word of the year.

The house stood open from morning till night, and the lads lived out of doors,

screen-shot-2016-09-28-at-10-43-14-am…except at school time. The lessons were short, and there were many holidays, for the Bhaers believed in cultivating healthy bodies by much exercise, and our short summers are best used in out-of-door work.

Such a rosy, sunburnt, hearty set as the boys became; such appetites as they had; such sturdy arms and legs, as outgrew jackets and trousers; such laughing and racing all over the place; such antics in house and barn; such adventures in the tramps over hill and dale; and such satisfaction in the hearts of the worthy Bhaers, as they saw their flock prospering in mind and body, I cannot begin to describe.

–Louisa May Alcott in Little Men

sept-11-047.jpgBut after the evening talk was done, the evening song sung, and the house grew still with beautiful Sunday silence,

Dan lay in his pleasant room wide awake, thinking new thoughts, feeling new hopes and desires stirring in his boyish heart, for two good angels had entered in:

love and gratitude began the work which time and effort were to finish; and with an earnest wish to keep his first promise, Dan folded his hands together in the darkness, and softly whispered Teddy’s little prayer,

Please God bless everyone, and help me to be good.

–from Little Men by Louisa May Alcott

The boys gathered in the parlor for Mrs. Bhaer’s Sunday evening talk…

As he looked about him Nat thought it seemed more like a great family than a school, for the lads were sitting in a wide half-circle around the fire, some on chairs, some on the rug, Daisy and Demi on the knees of Uncle Fritz, and Rob snugly stowed away in the back of his mother’s easy-chair, where he could nod unseen if the talk got beyond his depth.

Everyone looked quite comfortable, and listened attentively, for the long walk made rest agreeable, and as every boy there knew he would be called upon for his views he kept his wits awake to be ready with an answer.

–Louisa May Alcott in Little Men
