I like the idea of inserting questions in red and addressing them later. Thanks!

Hello and thank you all for your journals and histories. I’m a lifelong gardener and writer currently living in the Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina. I’ve long kept written journals by hand and typed, and have inserted drawings, photos, bits of nature, and so on. The interrelationship between observations, thoughts, visual “captures,” and meditations moves and inspires me.  I’m looking forward to this course and to reading and seeing who you all are through your field journals. I’m especially hopeful that I’ll be able to just draw and paint/color freely. I like several approaches shown and want to mainly focus on forming the field journal habit. I like to practice centering prayer/meditation in the morning and evening and then observe out my window and record.  I’d like to take this practice outdoors more often instead of working in my garden then journaling inside.  More will be revealed.
