Seeds and Time to Sow

Wow!  It has been way too long since I posted.   It feels good to be back in this particular groove.


This month's theme was nature and Janene sent some pictures of the seeds that the younger children found growing around in their yard.

So cool all the different kinds of seeds found just around the yard.  And what a fun activity to search them out.

A couple of thoughts on "seeds" 

• Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant. - Robert Louis Stevenson
• You're frustrated because you keep waiting for the blooming of flowers of which you have yet to sow the seeds. - Steve Maraboli
• Any fool can count the seeds in an apple, only God can count all the apples in one seed.

If the weather is permitting, take a walk around your neighborhood and look for seeds.  If you find some please send me the pictures and I will post them on the blog.

And I must add a quote from Raising An Original - 

We’ll need to show our originals the beauty of boredom and the possibilities of unstructured time. Some of our most creative moments, some of our biggest adventures and most boisterous laughs, have arrived courtesy of a clear day on the calendar— a day when we could have pacified the boredom with another movie, another errand, another chore. Instead, we got comfortable with the comma, the pause in the paragraph of our life narrative. Not every space on the calendar needs to be filled in.   Carr, Julie Lyles (2016-09-13).
