Over the course of his career, Hal Borland wrote eight nature books and hundreds of “outdoor editorials” for the Sunday New York Times, extolling the virtues of the countryside. From his home on one hundred acres in rural Connecticut, Borland wrote of the natural wonders, both big and small, that surrounded him every day.

The beauty to be found in roadsides, meadows, woodlands, and bogs are explored in elegant prose.

Part introductory field guide and part incitement to exploration, Beyond Your Doorstep is a classic of nature writing and a must-read for anyone looking to renew his or her relationship to the outdoors.

The blending of hearts and the melting together of natural enemies occurred simply as a result of love. Marc and Joelle opened their hearts and their home to all those they found in need. Over time, however, the rescued became the rescuers, and the humans received more than they gave. By offering a second chance to those fresh out of chances, Joelle found the fulfillment for which she was so desperately longing. Fulfillment comes in a variety of ways to those seeking it. Some work in a straight line, always keeping their eye on their ultimate goal. Others stumble along until it seems divine intervention shows them the way. Life's journey takes us to places we may never have expected and teaches us to appreciate the small gifts we are given daily. Those finding love and joy on their journey are truly fortunate. Those making the journey in the company of angels are blessed beyond measure. Angels appear in various ways in our lives. In Marc and Joelle's experience, they tend to have four legs, a lot of fur, and beating inside them are enormous hearts full of love.
