The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size. ~ Gertrude S. Wister (Women Know Everything!)... mehr auf ingebrita.net
So… there were other treasures waiting to be discovered while we were on our long hike Saturday. In 1907 the mountain laurel, a lovely native American shrub, was designated as the official state flower of Connecticut. They are just starting to blossom and we saw loads of them. I was raised by the melody Of … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
The wood is decked in light green leaf. The swallow twitters in delight. The lonely vine sheds joyous tears Of interwoven dew and light. Spring weaves a gown of green to clad The mountain height and wide-spread field. O when wilt thou, my native land, In all thy glory stand revealed? ~ Ilia Chavchavadze (Anthology … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net

There is a place where an artist lives in a house surrounded by a garden full of sculptures and a stone wall embedded with crystals and other treasures. In all the years I’ve been going to Provincetown I had never known it was there because I had never been down that particular street. But in 2008 … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net

On May 5th we took a lovely walk in the Connecticut College Arboretum. I usually walk there with Janet or Beverly so it was fun to drag Tim along this time. (I do miss my other walking buddies!) Again, he did well on the uneven terrain. At first we wore our masks, thinking it was … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
Another early morning walk, definitely the bird hour. I was taking pictures of the pond when this black-crowned night heron flew up from the water and perched on the evergreens. I had to use the telephoto lens but he seemed well aware that I was looking at him and seemed determined to stay right there … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net

Hallo und guten Morgen meine lieben Wildblumen-Fans! 🙂 Nun liegt der Mai auch schon wieder fast zur Hälfte hinter uns, Zeit für Teil 2 – Welche Wildblumen/-kräuter blühen wann? Obwohl sich der Mai, was die Temperaturen angeht, noch sehr zurück hält, er eher wie ein typischer April daher kommt, den Wildblumen ist das ziemlich egal.

Teach the children. We don’t matter so much, but the children do. Show them daisies and the pale hepatica. Teach them the taste of sassafras and wintergreen. The lives of the blue sailors, mallow, sunbursts, the moccasin flowers. And the frisky ones — inkberry, lamb’s-quarters, blueberries. And the aromatic ones — rosemary, ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
Über Tom Petty brauche ich vermutlich nicht so viel zu erklären. Er war ein amerikanischer Rockmusiker, Songwriter und Gitarrist, der als Frontmann der Band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers bekannt wurde. Im Jahr 2020 tauchten im Archiv von Tom Petty 16mm-Filme auf, die während einer fruchtbaren Songwriting-Phase seines Lebens gedreht wurden, als er... mehr auf whudat.de
Thought to locate a quote and instead searched Metaphysical Properties of Lupine and whew! What a Higher Power (HP) moment! ”Retrains the energetic pathways that feed fear and anxiety toward responding from personal peace & gratitude.” This is so neat because this location has been inaccessible due to bridge outage. Now companies have cleared a... mehr auf elisasspot.wordpress.com

The tempered light of the woods is like a perpetual morning, and is stimulating and heroic. The anciently reported spells of these places creep on us. The stems of pines, hemlocks, and oaks, almost gleam like iron on the excited eye. The incommunicable trees begin to persuade us to live with them, and quit our … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
This walk was from June 3rd. Still catching up! I have the impression that Emily Dickinson enjoyed the companionship of her large dog, Carlo, while she tended her garden. I used to discuss things with Larisa’s tabby cat, Mary, while I was planting and weeding my little plot. She was always interested in what I … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
After all my kvetching on the last post a lovely day followed and we grabbed the opportunity for another early morning walk. Having visited the arboretum in early May and early June, we decided to see what might be blooming in early July. Fewer flowers but a lot more greenery. The local weather forecaster has … ... mehr auf ingebrita.net
”Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ….get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.” —-Abraham Joshua Heschel... mehr auf elisasspot.wordpress.com
