Gene Stratton Porter

When I was a little girl, A Girl Iof the Limberlost was my favorite story. I identified with the girl because she played the violin and loved nature. There were other reasons, too, but I won't go into those in a public blog.I just wrote an article about the Gene Stratton Porter experiences kids can have in Indiana. Both of her Indiana homes are open to the public, and they are a wonderful way to get a look into the life of someone who put nature first. She was an extraordinary woman for her…See More

Hi Karla! Great article on nature's benefits regarding eyesight. We were discussing this on the network a couple of months ago. You provide a lot of good resources and information.

You might consider re-posting the article here as a blog post. You can either copy/paste the article in (sometimes pictures have to be re-uploaded.) Or you can enter a blog post with a link to your article. It's another good way to reach people on the forum, and it might provoke discussion again. (Let me know if you need more help to do it.) Thanks again for telling us about your piece.

Hi Karla! Welcome to C&NN. Great to have you here. It's so wonderful that you jumped in by joining groups and posting pictures. I'm sure you'll be a vital member of the community and I look forward to more contributions. I hope you get a lot out of the site as well. I'm a fellow Examiner, by the way. (San Francisco Slow Family Living). There are a couple of us here. Cheers!
