farmer dream

ever read farmer boy by laura ingalls wilder, you know, one of the little house books?
i never read it upto last week, only saw the tv-serie. but really, do not miss this book. you will get visions of everything homemade, from butter and sugar to fabrics, shoes and all kind of tools. never knew you could keep ice frozen through the summer by using sawdust.
of course, going back to that time is no option, but it gives you more appreciation for craftsmanship. why spend so much time with your computer, television or other machines. slow living, with the seasons a modern trend was just the essence back in those times.
if ever you are dissatified with things you do not have, remember this book and enjoy the things you do have or do. why buy pink lemonade if at home there is always apple cider from your own apples and milk from you own cows. enjoy the clean water in the tap. enjoy the more than enough clothes in your wardrobe. enjoy life.

love

just read Harry Potter and the deathly hallows for the second time. the power of love is a red thread throughout the whole series of Harry Potter books. remembering the power of love in every little dip of the day will bring a smile right away. Lenny Kravitz — Let Love Rule Love is gentle as a rose And love can conquer any war It's time to take a stand Brothers and sisters join hands We got to let love rule Let love rule We got to let love rule Let love rule Love transcends all space and time And love can make a little child smile Can't you see this won't go wrong But we got to be strong We can't do it alone We got to let love rule Let love rule We got to let love rule Let love rule

rebel met vleugels: het verhaal van icarus

marcel roijaards heeft een prachtig, meeslepend verhaal geschreven met zijn boek rebel met vleugels. hij heeft de dramatische mythe omgetoverd tot een positief en vrolijk carpe diem en liefdes- en vriendschapsverhaal. inventief is de manier waarop het verhaal verteld wordt door middel van een verboden voordracht in het openluchttheater. de gevoelens zijn herkenbaar, de woorden zijn beeldend en het verhaal van icarus is aantrekkelijk en meeslepend. meer over het boek op de website van marcel roijaards recensie van bas maliepaard

sagacious to use sage

sage is such a wonderful herb, although i do not like the tea from sage. if you, like me, hate to use chemical deodorants but also hate smelling after a busy day, you can use sage. drink it as tea with a bit of honey ( http://www.ehow.com/how_6098728_make-sage-tea-ground-sage.html ) or like me, just chew a nib of dried sage a few times a day (depending on the weather and the program from one to four times a day). it works marvellous. and besides, it is healthy for your throat too.
