Awesome Wonder CSA: Claude Monet -- Inspired by the Beauty of The Garden

Dirt under my fingernails and a song in my heart-Coaxing nature to feed my family and the community

O Lord my God,

When I in awesome wonder Consider all The works Thy Hand hath made,

Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Lyrics ~ Carl Boberg, 1859 - 1940

English Translation ~ Stuart K. Hine, 1899 -

This song often erupts from deep within me when I experience the majestic wonder if God's creation. We started our garden in March, 2011 with Great Hope and Expectation! You are invited to follow along on our journey and learn along with us as we live and learn.

While developing our garden we are working through an Amanda Benett unit study "Gardening" and I will be posting assignments from that study as an example for my children.

Claude Monet -- Inspired by the Beauty of The Garden

Claude Oscar Monet was an impressionist. He was born in 1856, exactly 200 years before me! in Paris, France. It is interesting to think that he was a radical in his day. Today his work is extremely widespread in circulation and copies are available on all kinds of products and price ranges. Jigsaw Puzzles, Umbrellas, t shirts etc. you name it, you can find a Monet version!!
