A conversation with Audrey Hollatz “Something Savory, Something Sweet”
July greetings! We hope you are enjoying the delights of the season, especially warm weather activities. It’s been a little cool these last few weeks, but even as I write, I feel the humidity rising. Although we seek relief indoors, the tomatoes in the garden will certainly enjoy the return of “hot house” temperatures. I can’t wait to sample our first homegrown tomato, what a longawaited treat that will be! Look forward to some delicious uses for this versatile fruit in August! This month’s flower is the humble forget-me-not. Forget-me-nots represent true love. We have included Victorian forget-me-not postcards at the ...

Becoming God’s Naturalist
by Jill Novak I remember the first time that I nature journaled with my children. It wasn’t hard to convince them to come outside and draw. A balmy summer morning beckoned us to abandon our regular indoor routine. Elizabeth, age 6, headed up to the garden and picked a few ripe strawberries. Eric, age 11, found a tiny Monarch caterpillar on a milkweed leaf in the field. Claire, age 15, snapped off some purple coneflowers from the flowerbed next to the house. We spread blankets on the ground and opened our sketchbooks. The three older children, heads bent and eyes fixed, ...
