A bit too much nature for me, thanks

Front porch, 10 am. Thought it was dead. It wasn't.

"If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive."
~American Quaker Saying

Well, fie on me, but I killed that spider dead.

LOL- of course. I thought it was dead so I was taking pics- then I decided to put it in a little plastic box to throw away, when it jumped and started charging towards John Paul.

Luckily I was wearing shoes so I could just stomp on it.

I obsessively check the porch every morning now. Haven't seen another. Phew. Just tons of huge hairy wolf spiders. Blech!

The Bookshelf

This book is probably the best, most complete cookbook I can recommend.

A classic from a master of modern spirituality.

A complete nutrition primer. The best explanation of what to eat, what not to eat, and why. Plus troubleshooting for many health problems, fertility-related or not.

This book contains many useful recipes and other information (how to feed a baby, too) for the whole foods kitchen. I do not share the author's bias on many topics, but even so, a highly recommended cookbook.

The complete, original guide to the out of doors. The introduction alone is worth the price of this book, especially for someone who is nervous or unsure of how to go about nature study.

While you have to wade through a certain amount of poltical commentary and new age fluff to get to the meat of this book, it is still one of the most complete herbal manuals I've found. Enough information here to overwhelm a beginner, but a great reference to have on hand. Plan to unpack this one a bit at a time!

Although I do not consider myself an unschooler, here is a book to help even the tighest-wound home educator relax and bring joy into education.

The classic. A must-read for anyone with a preschooler under their roof.
