I remember-one of my friends moved to a new house-and I ran around the house looking at all the hidden treasures the previous owner had left.

Nice to see you've been blogging agai...Hey Teresa,<br /><br />Nice to see you've been blogging again! (I just caught up on the past five months...you should have told me!) I do agree--there is so much natural beauty here in the woods and they are best left to themselves. Temple asked, I wonder if we could move some wildflowers? And I said, why would we need to? They are lovely, and prolific, right where they are...<br /><br />Red currant jelly is the best: very tart and sweet. Good with meats or on toast. Gooseberries are more rhubarb-y and delicious with vanilla custard! Both very English.<br /><br />xoCatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11361090241108323002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340286.post-13367939155081162862009-04-17T20:04:00.000-04:002009-04-17T20:04:00.000-04:00(Nodding my head to your forsythia/children analog...(Nodding my head to your forsythia/children analogy.) Nice.<br /><br />I've been struggling of recent, with the urge to tame our little piece of wilderness and strive for a small-scale organic farm with manicured fence rows and rambling gardens. However, I was reminded on a recent wildflower hike, just how beautiful these KY knobs, ridges, and valleys can be when left practically untouched or encouraged to return to their native grasses, flowers, and trees.<br /><br />Now to find the balance that we can nurture and will nurture us in return.<br /><br />How fun to find the berry bushes! It's like discovering an extra gift in your Christmas stocking! I can't say I've ever tried a currant or gooseberry or anything made with them as ingredients. I bet you'll work your magic on them both.<br />teresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497353883350419184noreply@blogger.com
