Thank you for your continued posts… I have been following your blog for a while now, and realised that I have been rather greedily devouring your words, photos and ideas in silence. I thought it was time I outwardly expressed my gratitude and appreciation for all you share with me. Every post is like a meditation. Your contemplations sound familiar as I recognise my own voice in them ~ and it feels rare and peaceful to find company in this way. So, from the crickets, bees, ants, borage, sunflowers, poplars, tobacco, squash, mountain ash, apricot tree, river, mountains, sky, grass, black sage, mullein, yarrow, eagle, heron, ‘wild’ horses, thistle, rocks and stones, potatoes, tomatoes, geraniums, nasturtiums, willows, hummingbirds, bats, and myriad other delightful winged ones I am honoured to call friends..we thank you for shining your brilliant light ’round these parts and brining a knowing smile to our hearts. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 🙂
