As the flowers of my anise hyssop plants go to seed, the goldfinches bounce and perch on them, dining to their hearts’ content. Quiet pleasures.
Wordless Wednesday
Wordless Wednesday: Blessed Imbolc
Each year at Imbolc, John and I decorate and ask blessings for our well, which gives us life here at Laurel Hill Cottage. Thank you to Brighid.
Wordless Wednesday: Sunset at Laurel Hill Cottage
Sometimes we need a quiet moment. Here’s one, after our first snowfall, from our road that leads to Laurel Hill Cottage. We’ve had more snow since.
Wordless Wednesday: My Garden Welcomes Autumn
Wordless Wednesday: Undaunted
Life in all its forms is a miracle, often against all odds. This clump of white vincas proves the point of “bloom where you’re planted.”
Wordless Wednesday: Thresholds and Edges
Stop by for a breath of fresh air and quiet, during this rather heavy, even shrill week. Here on the edges, there is a timelessness we may need.
Wordless Wednesday: Hazy Hot Summer’s Joy
A trio of hummingbirds swarm our front porch feeder at Laurel Hill Cottage this hot Summer’s day. Stop by, put your feet up, and sit a spell.
Wordless Wednesday: Hyssop and Swallowtail
Sacred to the Goddess, our hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) attracts butterflies, bumblebees, hummingbirds and even goldfinches. Here, a swallowtail feeds on its nectar.
Wordless Wednesday: Flat-Out Hot in August
These long, hot summer days prompt all of us to want to just lay flat on our tummies and nap. Including our wild friends here at Laurel Hill Cottage.
