Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Among the Trees: A Journal of Walks in the Woods, and Flower-Hunting Through Field and by Brook
The out-of-doors here seems interminable, and we are continually tempted to explore in all directions, and 1 shall try and make you familiar with all that grows dear to us: It is now February, and the spring will soon be opening fresh and fair, and I know that then I shall want to write to you about bluebirds and robins, and dancing brooks and opening flowers, and all the novelties of living among. The hills. There will be plenty of spring-work, as the farmers say, and I must improve the little time before that to tell you of our winter woods and winter experiences. I wish I had written to you regularly the few months that we have been here, and thus kept you along with us in our daily round of duties, pleasures, and pursuits, but we were a long time getting settled, and I did not think of it. Our life here is not very striking, it is true, and to some of our fashionable friends would probably seem tedious and stupid, but we do not find it so. The days are not long enough for all we find to do, and to enjoy, and we know not what it is to wish time away. I shall write you all that I think will interest you, and that will be about all that interests us; and I shall not confine myself to any formalities of letter writing, but write whenever I feel like it, and about anything that is in the ascendant at the time.
