This was unexpectedly Proustian, and deeply profound and moving.I was in tears at the thought that so many years later, in 2022, I am reading it, and now is still now, and Laura and Pa and Ma are not forgotten. I am loving this reread so so much

So much to talk about in todays chapter. So much great writing. So much wonderment. It‘s hard to imagine living so deep in the woods, you don‘t realize how big the sky is, not knowing how to play going into town because it‘s such a foreign concept. Talkative Laura is struck dumb. I can‘t imagine what she‘d think about all the things we have in the world now!! A couple other gems: telling Charlotte and Nettie that they couldn‘t go into town, 👇🏻
Another chapter to make me thankful I live when I do and can grab sugar from the store if needed! This chapter made me think about Ingalls‘ writing process. If she was 6 when this took place I can‘t imagine she could remember the details 61 years later. Did she interview family members, do research? It‘s fascinating to me. If you or children you know are interested in learning about the maple sugar process and live in an area with maple trees 👇🏻

❄️There's a read along on Litsy of the tagged book that I'm hugely looking forward to!
❄️ I used to like decorating the Christmas tree in my house,and once we did it with my much younger cousins,which was super fun.And my cousin claimed he saw Santa Claus in the middle of the night😀
“Laura had only a corncob wrapped in a handkerchief, but it was a good doll. It was named Susan. It wasn‘t Susan‘s fault that she was only a corncob.”
I loved this book as a child and now I see why. The descriptions are simple but full of sensory details. The whole book is filled with details of how to do everything, especially with food. Pa‘s stories are a little heavy on the moral teachings, but the whole family is always so grateful and happy.

The tagged book is one of the books that got me interested in reading as a little girl. I was so enamored with the idea of traveling across the prairie in a covered wagon. When my mom‘s aunt passed away, she gave her a few of these titles that she had owned, but some were missing. I went on eBay and found this complete set with a box and I just had to have it. It‘s like returning to my childhood and I can‘t wait to go back and read them all
Book 12 of 2020 #LittleHouseInTheBigWoods by #LauraIngallsWilder I loved this book when I was in elementary school, and I still watch the TV show on occasion, so I decided to re-read what I consider to be an American classic. The lovely writing of life in the Big Woods is a delight. Laura, who is 5 at the time of the book, regales readers with tales of fun, adventure, and hard work. If you haven‘t read it, give it a try. 5 ⭐️
