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.)

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.
