So I was going to do a big post, but I have a cold and don,t feel like it.

But I will post the slideshow of our BEST ANNIVERSARY EVER! We went out to the Reid Conservation area and hiked all afternoon. It was sunny with a nice breeze. The trees were howling in some spots, and there were quiet valleys.

The sounds of Squirrels and a slideshow

So this morning on my way to work, the squirrels were running amok. They were tearing up and down the tree trunks, chittering and squabbling. It was comedy. I always enjoy when nature shows its character, the squirrels are one of the more obvious examples because they are so vocal, so acrobatic….

We are starting to get more food from the yard, which is a relief. At the beginning of the spring I was very hopeful. The strange Spring weather hurt our fruit crop, so we got less from the yard than we had hoped for. So now that we are getting food from the yard, we are feeling more grateful. I am able to see the abundance being provided, and my personal faith is reassured. We will be provided for, if we but put our efforts and intentions in a place of creation, abundance and love.

 

A Small Thursday Slideshow

We have squash blossoms, eggplants, tomatoes and bugs today! The butterfly stuck around for a long time, flitting between plants.

What a great way to start the day!
