"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Clams!

On Monday FarmBoy walked in the door at 3:15 with clams! They were in the shell, bagged in ice-water, fresh and ready to cook. After our daily walk, we steamed them for about five minutes until the shells popped open, and ate them with butter until we didn't want any more. What a treat! A co-worker who lives at the beach had brought them and shared his bounty.

On Tuesday we had chowder for dinner. It was delicious, too.
