Welcome to Litsy!

A little like little Red, but with emphasis on adventure and overcoming fears. I'd kind of like an acorn full of magical healing soup. 🥚 🌽 X 5

Photos from our Saturday walk. We picked chestnuts: not only were they pretty, shiny and pristine, with not a maggot in sight and hardly any mud on them, but they were also delicious.
And Little Witch Hazel is a fantastic book for children. Grandkid loves the stories & I like the underpinning “hippy“ outlook on life - kind, understanding and tolerant (including of leg hair on women 😅)

July 2024 book #8

A group of friends and family members decided to camp and it seems that stories told around the 🔥came true next day. I recently read a book with a similar premise, very similar: The Telling by Alexandra Sirowy. But in Campfire, the stories are described in a graphic way, a slasher-ish story. The motive for the killings?...🤷🏽‍♀️2.8/3⭐️But I like the cover😳😂

Almost two-thirds is all about plants and animals in the forest and how to appreciate them, (I'll admit I skipped the sections on making it fun for kids, not my area) then the switch seems to be to practical aspects of walking in a forest - 1/?

Props to this book for providing me with sudden recall of a poem I read in high school:
A Crystal Forest by William Sharp
“The air is blue and keen and cold,
With snow the roads and fields are white;
But here the forest's clothed with light
And in a shining sheath enrolled.
Each branch, each twig, each blade of grass,
Seems clad miraculously with glass:
Above the ice-bound streamlet bends
Each frozen fern with crystal ends.“
