It’s been a while since I shared a Wordless Wednesday. But these friends enjoying some quality time together were just too sweet not to share!

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.

Blessings as September arrives. She begins with Summer still pulsing brightly, but will end with the deeper colors and poignant gifts of Autumn.

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.

Sacred to the Goddess, our hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) attracts butterflies, bumblebees, hummingbirds and even goldfinches. Here, a swallowtail feeds on its nectar.

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.
