05 de junho xanga02 de junho using my indoor voice I read about 'nature deficit disorder' at Tammi's blog. "Yeah, yeah," says my brain, "they have some good points, but it isn't comfortable outside. There are bugs. And wind. Precipitation. Grizzly bears. Sunburn. Did I mention bugs?" The indoors has lovely climate control options, and all the comforts of home. ha ha ha! sorry. Bugs attempt to share the indoors with us, but we have a bevy of methods to thwart their incursions. I've just never been an outdoorsy person, even though my parents I must confess that I am the poster girl for comfort-craving suburbanites everywhere. When I get close to the earth I so profess to love, it seems, well... dirty. - Carolyn Arends, Wrestling With Angels I do connect with the seaside.

Those who know him generally like him well enough, providing he keeps his thoughts to himself. And when he does talk, it isn't that they stop liking him - rather, they are not quite so satisfied with themselves. - William Young, The Shack random A canning jar is a really good size & shape to use with a hand-blender. Plus it is glass, so it cleans up easily - doesn't stain and can get stuck into the dishwasher. (our hand blender came with a plastic container but it is usually too small) |
