A beautiful example of a nature diary, found at my public library.
The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden, 1906
About Me
- Alexandra
- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

I love this book. I went on a binge a few years ago and bought all sorts of "Country Diary" stuff on Ebay for my daughter's birthday ~ books, videos, stitchery kits, etc. I think I had more fun than she did! ;~P
Isn't that a lovely book? Mother of Divine Grace uses it for their homeschool high school program. She has also written one other book.
What a coinidence! I pulled my book off the shelf yesterday to read.
She was quite a lovely artist, and had a tragic death in her late 40's. I just read she was accidentally drowned doing what she loved best - collecting bits of nature near the river.
I came across your blog looking for a "recipe" for Castile soap for the dishwasher and then saw this post! Within minutes I'd found a copy of this beautiful book and it will be at my house next week. It looks wonderful.
