I am especially drawn to the books with a journal entry pattern that follows the cycle of the year.<br />ChrisJ: I've never been one to pick up insects--most of them sting or bite or do something unpleasant. Watching this spider since August has been a marvel, and I can appreciate her the better as she doesn't invade my house!<br />Flower Lady: Your blog has a country "feel"--you've managed to have a lovely garden on a small acreage and that provides the setting for so much that you observe and share.<br />DW: Your corner of England has come to life for me through your posts. I used to dream of visiting the UK--never relished the thought of being towed around London or the cities--but it would have taken weeks to find all the country places I have read about and enjoyed vicariously.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-62311964633532728102010-09-22T08:17:32.789-04:002010-09-22T08:17:32.789-04:00What a beautifully written post MM.

The natural world changes so quickly and there is always a new way to look at the most familiar habitat.<br /><br />Your trees are slipping into the golds of autumn more quickly than ours, but the dewy cobwebs and late summer flowers are similar on both sides of the Atlantic.<br /><br />The spider and her zig zag web are fascinating.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-34369859066724822962010-09-22T05:55:16.827-04:002010-09-22T05:55:16.827-04:00You are living a lovely, country life and I thank ...You are living a lovely, country life and I thank you for sharing it here, for those of us who dream of living in the country.

Although Edward Way Teale and Henry Beston are American authors I have books by both of them and you have prompted me to find them and read them again. The Edward Way Teale book is Springtime in Britain and some of the places he writes about are near to where I live. Hal Borland is a new name to me but I must look for something by him.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
