"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)

Snow?!?


FarmBoy went out and helped other volunteers clean up our community this morning.

(Thank you to this photographer. No, that is not really my husband and others in the snow, but is seems like it almost could be. Crazy weather!)

I think this is the first time I have ever been frustrated with snow. I went to the store and got soaked from head to toe. I want summer!
