The next time my coworkers start shaking their heads at one of my crazy ideas, I am going to point them to this post. :) I aspire to be delightfully encouraging. I may not always hit it, but I try.

I liked the way you compared getting your kids to appreciate poetry to the way you got them to like broccoli. I think that’s usually exactly the right approach–on both fronts.

Charlotte, this Spring we bought alfalfa seed from a grower who raises his own leaf cutter bees, just to ensure pollination of his fields. You might want to see if there are any beekeepers near you who might be interested in parking some hives around your place — might be easier, at least at first!

Laura, thanks so much for stopping by. I don’t what I like best, the imagery, or the words as they sound aloud.

Lovely poem, and I love his “I Am.” Thanks for the introduction. I didn’t know him at all. Love this:

That in their holes abed at close of day
They still keep piping in their honey dreams,

Thanks, Becky! We distressingly (sp?) had very few bees this year…I am thinking of getting bee hives, just so as to have them around.
