Journals, of the naturey sort

This was the first entry in my nature journal.

A few years ago, I had a desire to start a journal after a friend had given me  a blank one.  I did, but very quickly found out that I didn't know what to write about and so I stopped.  Shortly after that, I found a book at the library that did inspire me to journal again.  It was, The Country Diary of An Edwardian Lady.  Later I also found, The Nature Notes of An Edwardian Lady.  After looking through these books, I was inspired to go ahead and start a nature journal.  That is something I can always write about and add drawings to.  In her books, she would draw what she had seen that day, add a poem or scripture and maybe a few of her own words.  I took the basic idea of that and began writing  and drawing.  I have to admit though, I've slacked quite a bit these past two years.  I am hoping to be re-inspired to begin again.
I am posting a few of my entries, mostly of Spring time.  
Have a Jolly day!

  3. I'm so completely jealous of you. You have some extremely beautiful, natural feeling graphic abilities. I can't draw a straight line using a ruler! ;-) I'm stopping by from the A to Z challenge and I look forward to reading/viewing more from you.

  4. Oh Heather I love it! Your drawings say so much, even without words. The feelings of the day show through in what you draw. I journal, then stop, then journal, but it is always so fragmented. I think adding drawings would inspire me to write my true feelings at that moment. Thanks for sharing.
