Wuthering Arbortetum!
Last night we had gale force winds.
Our home backs onto the 250+ acre Arboretum in Boston and one of my favorite sounds is the roaring of the wind in the treetops on Peter's Hill on just such a night as last night. It makes me so glad to be safe indoors.
My eldest daughter commented this morning, "Now I know what the moors sounded like!" She's referring to "The Secret Garden" where Frances Hodgson Burnett described the 'wuthering' on the Yorkshire moors on a gale driven night.
Don't you love the common thread of books, weaving through our lives the sense of description from generations past? I was so happy to share the connection of a loved book with my teenage daughter this morning.
