Part Deux
Some of Thoreau's thoughts regarding education, always grounded in empiricism, "I did not read books the first summer; I hoed beans." (From "Sounds" in Walden) He goes on to advise that "youths better learn to live. . . by at once trying the experiment of living." Self-reliance, conviction and an inquisitive mind--tools of a great self-education.
Today we picked tomatoes, carrots, kohlrabi, potatoes, peppers and flowers. We canned 10 quarts of pears, roasted peppers and tomatoes, split wood, built a fire in the mud-oven started a poolish, planned for friends.
