Love it! <br /><br />Have you seen the picture book _House Held Up By Trees_ by Ted Kooser and illustrated by Jon Klassen? If not, you have GOT to get your hands on it. It's a gorgeous book about nature taking back what it once lost. I'm sure you'd love it.Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-59512149367286704172013-07-20T09:11:48.059-06:002013-07-20T09:11:48.059-06:00I'd love to see a picture of your house, Marga...I'd love to see a picture of your house, Margaret.

I love how poetry makes you notice things like this tree determined to grow.

A couple of days ago I saw a recipe that uses cherry blossoms and realized I had an annual "crop" that I hadn't been taking advantage of. The more time we spend with nature, the more nuances we see!
