Regenerative spring correspondence words, relationships, interiority, a future for standards

Country diary: It is our duty to delight in the dandelion | Josie George Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: These early spring bloomers are a favourite of mine, a model of nature’s generosity, yet so often ignored

Watching. From kitchen window. The tree creeper (certhia familiaris) creeps, weaves, hangs, spirals around the Apple tree bole. It was movement, seemingly of the bark itself, that gave away ‘ki’ presence before id of white belly and tweezer bill.

After yesterday’s drenching out across the moors, this morning dawns blue-skyed, and frosty-bright. Across the way, a copice of hazel catkins delights with glowing quinacridone gold pendants.

"Slowly I Have Found My Way In" The Living Mountain, regenerative stewardship, right relationship, and buildings that restore aliveness

6am and a glorious quartet greeting the grey dawn. Tempted to say ‘as a practice for the upcoming dawn chorus’, but these four aren’t just practicing - they just ‘are’. (And seems they started chorusing without the Wren who is a usual participant)
