dearest thank you for this sharing. living in pa. in the northeast we have had the driest summer i have every recalled. two months with barely any rain and none in site. fortunately, we had a huge amount of rain this past winter and early spring that left us with a high water table which is allowing the trees to survive. the days have been so lovely, sunny with a nice breeze. california weather. and now drought. time to go inside , to love thyself, others .

Much appreciated, Lolo. I agree, soon time to go inside. These seasons offer so much...

But I'm still soaking up the incredible weather and sunshine for now. Will store up for winter.

Love to you and the trees. 🤍

Thank you Erin. Nessa and I just came home to a small dead bat in our home in Italy. It was a death omen, but the kind that shows a way forward for me. I can let myself go on living despite loss. Beautiful photos and words.

Blessings on home and bat. 🦇

Yes, I receive death omens all the time with screeching owls overhead. 🦉

It's a reminder to perk up awareness and allow any changes.

We are so lucky to have these presences and friends.

Thank you for commenting!

I remember after our horrific bushfire season a few years ago in Australia how bright the green was against the blackened trees. Now here we have spring and trees blossoming with flowers 🌺
