Solstice Peace, Hope, Light... ✌️✨🫶

A peaceful garden corner in fall, with soft rain and sunlight kissing the leaves.

Autumn rain carries the music
Of endings and beginnings,
Tenderly and strongly…

A shot of freshly bloomed lilacs on a rainy day. The lilacs smelly so nice that it almost(almost) negates the fact that it was raining out.

It really IS the most wonderful time of the year.

Before we speak, let our words pass through three gates:

* Is it true?
* Is it kind?
* Is it necessary?

In our ever polarising world, learning that speaking less, and only when necessary, makes us stronger individuals. Saying less helps water our inner calm. 😊

A male rose-breasted grosbeak at the feeder.

We almost never see a rose-breasted grosbeak. They mostly pass us by during migration, but an occasional one will find our bird feeders. #birds
