Something of the Marvelous. This past weekend I hiked a 7.5-mile stretch of undeveloped beach on Bulls Island, one of South Carolina’s barrier islands that has been designated as a National Wildlife Refuge. South Carolina may be know for its college football, comfort food and civil war history, but Bulls Island and the surrounding inter costal really shows how rich the state is in natural resources. In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous. Special thanks to Coastal Expeditions. On Can...

Seasonal Soundings: Thoughts as I climb the precipice of Gone with the Wind
http://seasonalsoundings.blogspot.com/2015/03/thoughts-as-i-climb-precipice-of-gone.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Thoughts as I climb the precipice of Gone with the Wind. With my rather slow start of Gone with the Wind. Should be considered my first.

Even if I wanted to skim, I don't want to miss Mitchell's one shot at word beauty in her only known book. Being from Virginia, I did enjoy this:. One new word for me - folderol.

Seasonal Soundings: Intentional Reading
http://seasonalsoundings.blogspot.com/2015/02/intentional-reading.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. For a number of years now, I've embraced the word intentional. Until I realized the word was what drove me in my activities, I just did my daily tasks with intention and never thought anything about it. After homeschooling for twenty years and moving into a traditional classroom as a middle/upper school teacher, I recognized the need to embrace that word intentional. A helpful list of things can be found here. Such as the Harry Potter. Books, the Hunger Games. British naval boo...
