"The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”
~Henry Miller
It’s a day of pure joy. When the wind blows and sets the whole green forest to dancing, I’m sure my soul can no longer fit within its boundaries, but must go out and share.
Do you know the feeling I’m talking about?
(from "riches", April 2010)

While that question is probably a little difficult to answer in a paragraph (or even in a lifetime), I can tell you that my name is Meredith, and that I love to ponder life's mystery and beauty and joys and then write about them. This blog is all about my interactions with Nature during my walks in the woods, visits to Botanical Gardens, in my own small, organic kitchen garden -- and anywhere else I happen to be when inspiration strikes.

I LOVE sugar snap peas. Great photo!
Lynn´s last blog ..Cheerful, nice neighbors and dropping by
Me, too, Lynn — which is why I’d hoped to get more than a few from this experiment. But it’s not looking so promising. Still, this one was delicious!
Yay! Peas!
Kathy´s last blog ..Meet the Moms
Finally!
You got one at last! worth the wait Meredith I’m sure.
Rosie@leavesnbloom´s last blog ..I see you! Wordless Wednesday
It was, Rosie. Although I’m really not convinced I’d grow peas again here. Maybe I should stick to the warm weather crops, which practically grow themselves.
(Almost a wordless comment… hee)
Kathy´s last blog ..Meet the Moms
(Shhh… did you notice? That *was* a wordless comment.)
OK it’s minimal but it does focus your attention on the greenness and the beauty of a pea….
Helen at Summer House´s last blog ..Shadows, Crowds and a Bit of Finger Pointing
Well, Helen, I wanted to emphasize the first one, after all I’d gone through to get it.
no words needed… well except may one…yum!
Meredehuit´s last blog ..Hail Today and Gone Tomorrow?
That one word is enough, Meredehuit!
yummm.
jim Groble´s last blog ..Hello, Goodbye, and a Baby Announcement.
I love fresh garden peas! Lovely shot!
Curbstone Valley Farm´s last blog ..It’s Not Easy Being Greens
Thanks, Clare!
That is beautiful! I feel like I could reach through the screen and sneak off with it! Yummy!
Talon´s last blog ..Distance…
That would be kind of hard, Talon, as about two seconds after I took the shot, F. bit off his half, and I ate the rest. This snap pea is no more.
OH yummy…..I like how you pictured the pea horizontally as it makes me think of a ‘smile’….did you do that intentionally?
Serena´s last blog ..ONE DOWN – five to go
Serena, I wish I could take credit for that positioning, as it’s so clever. (You’re so clever to realize it!) Maybe my subconscious did it.
no words necessary…yum!
carrie´s last blog ..Trip to MALVERN ~ #3 Hampton Court Castle
Yeah, Carrie. I suspect y’all would “get” it.
Oh my goodness….that looks absolutely delicious! I need to go buy some at the store
