Writing a daily or weekly journal can be a very creatively useful way use extra time at home. A daily journal can take many forms, but one thing they all have in common is our desire to connect to the details surrounding our life in a meaningful way through less formal prose. A nature journal is a great way to stay in touch with the outdoor, even if only in our imagination. The daybook is a form to consider for potentially longer, daily self-assigned entries. A great example of a garden daybook is Weathering Winter: A Gardener’s Daybook by Carl Klaus, which we will use in these meetings.
