Nature Study

Taking on the "Handbook of Nature Study" by Anna Botsford Comstock. I've had the book for over a year and somehow forgot that I had it. The book is practically twice the size of my bible and I spent a good part of the afternoon reading parts of it and I like what I see so here we go... First published in 1911 by an educator who believed that children belong outside meddling with and finding out about nature that is closest to home before thinking about the inhabitants of the Australian deserts.

The outdoors don't take away time: they replenish it. Nature as God made it is a vast sort of vastness that no one can conquer, yet it cures us in this fast paced life and draws us to the one who made it all.
