"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)

Pictures from Home








As requested, here are some snapshots of the living and dining rooms at Cloudcover Cottage. I did not stage these in any way( as you will be able to tell). Now that I learned about some of what photographers go through to get good pictures of homes, I feel less bad about how pictures of my own home look. Not good, but less bad. So, here they are.

The old dresser is now in the living room. CD's are inside, toys underneath, Brio in the box on top with quilts to warm us while watching television. All of the toys are in the dining room, with cards and board games in the lower part of the corner cupboard.


We are ready to snuggle. We are ready to play.
