“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” Socrates
Simple things to get ready for spring! Drying all the elderberries in the freezer and getting ready to make elderberry syrup. Starting some seedlings, these are tomatoes from some special seed. A friend “up north” gave me these years ago and I generated a 2 pound tomato from this seed. Dreaming up a permaculture design for my front yard and reading the poetry of Mary Oliver and Wendell Berry finish off the day! And I didn’t forget to light a wonderful scented candle. To top off the weekend, a Mississippi/Lake Pepin road trip was in order. Best of all I visited my grandson at St. Mary’s College in Winona, Minnesota as we completed our Lake Pepin Jaunt.

Books are more than enough to fill your mind with wonder. Poetry is the best and here are two of my favorite authors. I hope you will visit your local library and if you want even more there are Facebook pages for Mary Oliver which lets you read a lot of her poetry for free. You will need to join a group to view but it is well worth it.
Wendell Berry‘s works are timeless and a wonderful way to spend an evening.
Starting a new adventure, not of my own making, but an adventure none-the-less. I will be profiling this adventure as I go along. Making my way on a lot less cash and hoping to discover some new and healthier ways to survive.
