This had some interesting observations. One long scenario anout no one providing him water was particularly well done. Overall though after the first 8 chapters I grew bored. It seemed to fall into the socio- babble of every thing that‘s wrong in America can be fixed by having front porches. I love a deep porch, but…I am grateful though for the tip that the field in which Frederick Douglas fought for his freedom is still a field we can visit.

My selection for week 8 #Fridaynightshare is the 1st Robert Macfarlane book I read, The Old Ways. He has such a poetic turn of phrase, that really lends itself to his descriptions of landscape, flora and fauna. Beautiful, poignant, and observant writing. Outstanding nature writing.

Week 2 - Activity- walkabout
It‘s been grey here for the last three weeks with maybe 2 days of sun, today on the walk to school -blue skies! No snow, but it is bitter cold 29F with wind. At school(k-12) we have just over 1,000 multilingual learners that come from 35 countries and speak 28 different languages. All of them are enamored with pine trees. It‘s fun to see. 🌲 (my school 22 languages, 25 countries.)

IndoorDame Stunning! I was totally enamored of🌲 when I was in grade school too, but I can‘t think of the word for them in a single other language. You could amass such a fun collection from all your little learners! 4mo
AllDebooks So many beautiful trees x 4mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame most say it‘s the tree of Christmas árbol de Navidad instead of pine tree (pino) in Spanish or north pole tree or Santa tree it‘s really quite fascinating .. they don‘t understand that they (the trees) grew in so many or so many kinds. They were thinking there was a singular tree. (edited) 4mo

Suet624 Your school must work very hard to accommodate so many languages! 4mo
TheBookHippie @Suet624 Yes, it does -the day is not as traditional as other schools breakfast and lunch is free and breakfast is eaten in classrooms before start of day, this creates lots of learning I read one on one with kiddos the same kiddos for this very reason, there is massive volunteer opportunity and we are also hooked up with a large retirement village that buses the “grandma grandpa” peeps to read one on one with kids. It‘s many working parts. (edited) 4mo
Suet624 @TheBookHippie that‘s great! 4mo

Another one that would‘ve been better to read than listen to. Robin Sachs may have been too perfect a choice to narrate Macfarlane‘s expressive prose. As his sultry voice described beautiful landscapes, and made accessible a world I knew nothing of, I would find myself wondering what had happened.

Consequently, as far as I can tell, The Old Ways is about ancient pathways and the people who still walk them. But what it‘s about? I can‘t quite say.
