The picture on the home page?
carnationsgalore
My kids and I would like to know about the picture on the home page.
It looks like a leaf that looks like a brain (says the kids). Is there
a story behind the pic?

I hadn't thought about it looking like a brain. I just liked the
shape of it.
It's from the fruitless mulberry by my back door. That leaf grew
funny, and fell on the hot tub. I stuck it in the scanner with a
piece of colored paper over it. That's the whole story.

You were right!
And I also guess I can never think of any image to represent
unschooing, so I just like trees and tree parts. I like the idea
that each tree becomes itself from a little seed, and although people
can help and encourage it and water it and keep it safe, or they can
damage it or kill it, they can't make one kind of tree become a
different kind of tree.

We love to eat mulberries, and we used the leaves to raise our silk worms
one year.
That's what they eat.

When we got the option to have a picture, I thought maybe there would
be some good representation of unschooling, but pictures of people
sometimes say too much, more than they intend to, and one picture
can't represent the range of life and thought and activity and
stillness and emotion.
When that leaf fell I just liked the shape of it but I didn't think
"brain." I kinda wondered what caused it to curl. When I was a kid
we bought a house with an apple orchard, and if an apple gets pecked
or damaged when it's small, it will grow oddly. Those never show up
in the store, but the healthy side is perfectly edible. I always
thought those were interesting. But I didn't consciously associate
the leave with that either, until now.
When I scanned it, I wasn't really thinking of this list either.
Just was playing with my scanner, which I have done other times.

And it made a very clean and square picture that would look good
small too, so I plugged it in to Always Learning, thinking maybe I'd
think of something better someday, and there it sat silently until
this week.
