So hard to go…

A summery morning,
breakfast on the deck, a game of chess and then a business call for my mate…

One more visit to the nest. All 3 siblings are growing and look good.
Ma Robin seems less threatened by my being there.

So hard to go…
Hugs and kisses until the next time the city mice and country mice get together.

Grateful today for
the country mice – thank you for sharing your home with me.
The time with you, with nature and all the creatures at Idlewild has been healing, joyful and restorative. xxoo

Woke up to a glorious summer morning.
The apple tree is in full bloom – stunning!

It is a busy day outdoors.
First – got to see the babies…

By the end of the day,
I have picked up many sticks in the forest and the floating garden is set up to move from sun to shade, complete with a little dock on the land.

Grateful today for
the incredible blossoms everywhere,
beautiful growing baby robins,
and for swedish bitters that soothed all the bites I got today.

My mate arrives at Idlewild this morning! Yay!
After a heavy duty week at work, he is happy to be in nature…
away from meetings, presentations, and with a long weekend ahead.

We spend the day making a fire to get the sun to come out, and it did. ;)

Such fun hanging out with the goats.

and of course, I HAD to go and visit the babies…and there were three!

Grateful today for
a fabulous and fun day outdoors,
making friends with Vinny the goat,
and for the incredible amazement and wonder I feel each time I see the baby robins.

Bursting with life

The day is overcast and cooler than yesterday…
A morning with Jenn in the country is fun and adventurous.
To the market for food, and then for plants to be planted in the floating garden.
Quite the adventure getting the garden to the soil!

And then…the bursting of life.

When I arrived, Scott showed me this.

A beautiful sunrise over the pond this morning…
the grasses are frosty and my sneakers get a little wet.
By afternoon, the sun has dried my sneakers.

My day is a harmony of photography, nature, and technology –
with notes from the baltimore orioles, blue jays and red winged blackbirds.

Sunset is glorious.
Grasses dance in the sunlit winds,
birds sing out. Wow.

Grateful today for
being out to see the sun rise and set,
the beautiful shades of green everywhere,
and for all the birdcalls I heard today. Music for my soul.
