What a week! You know those weeks when a series of unexpected events happens that kind of hit you for a six. One of those kind of weeks.  Because life doesn’t stop still and let you catch a breath does it. There are still work commitments, we have to eat, animals in our care that […]

In the garden this morning. 14th September 2023. Note to self, start remembering to take a colander outside again to collect herbs. And Honeybee will snuffle through everything you have gathered if given the chance. Colander on fence post out of Honeybee’s way. Yes, I did throw out everything Honeybee touched.

Marigold the Buff Pekin hen. Stopping in the middle of the garden path to greet me. My little garden companion. My goal is to post a photo each day in May. A moment captured during the day, calming, peaceful, that captures my heart. Uplifting, something positive as we move into the colder months in the […]
