The Last of the Ragged Robin
|
2022 08-15, 5407 - THE LAST OF THE RAGGED ROBIN – The Ragged Robins are getting ready to cast their seeds into the wind as the lupines have already done. It is the ritual of the season. There is always something growing and something going. Sadly, many people will never notice.

|
2022 08-14, 5406 -A FIELD OF WILDFLOWERS – Now that the lupine and ragged robin have gone to seed, there is still a lot to see in the field at the top of the mountain. There is plenty of nourishment left for the birds and insects and butterflies as well for our minds, bodies, and soul.

Young Mountain
|
2022 08-13, 5405 - YOUNG MOUNTAIN – There is a mountain breaking the horizon line, looking slightly west from the top of the Lupine Field, that appears to have mystical powers perhaps connecting to an ancient history. There is energy around it where strange lights appear and GPS’s reverse themselves.

|
2022 08-12, 5404 - WILD RASPBERRIES – We didn’t really sample the wild raspberries when they were in season because we were too busy with other things to take the time to pick them. It is often the way that when lives get complicated, the gifts of Nature slip by. It is time to reconnect the pleasures of life.

After the Rain
|
2022 08-11, 5403 - AFTER THE RAIN – Summer afternoon rainstorms can be brief and powerful, sweeping across the valley and mountains and then gone. Often the sun returns to shine through the raindrops still on the leaves. There could be an accompanying rainbow. Life is renewed.

|
2022 08-10, 5402 - A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST WE NEVER SEEM TO EAT – Our fifty-year-old pear trees are laden with fruit, and yet the big pears are scabby and the little pears are too small to do anything with but cook them up for syrup. Still, we really enjoy watching them grow, and the wildlife attracted to them.

The Wild Lawn, Part Two
|
2022 08-09, 5401 - THE WILD LAWN, PART TWO – The lawn should be cut again, but the earth is still tender from earlier summer rains. It is now covered with hay and some beautiful brown eyed susans. I like the wild lawn.

2022 08-08, 5400 - PODCAST #5400 – Today is podcast #5400, sort of a milestone for me. I started in 2006, and now in 2022 I still reach to Nature and the Cosmos for guidance each day with the intention of sharing what “my second head” shares with me. We all reach some sort of milestone every day.

Morning Mist
|
2022 08-07, 5399 - MORNING MIST – Hot days and cool nights create a morning mist in the valleys that hint of the season to come. It is a great time to start the day appreciating all the positive things that take place, often going unnoticed.

|
2022 08-06, 5398 - MORE AUGUST JOY - As the August days begin to slip by, life often gets busy, and it can be hard to pause and find joy in each day. Flowers are a good way to bring us back to the moment, giving us the opportunity to feel gratitude in our hearts, so take a deep breath and experience a moment of joy.

Passing the Torch
|
2022 08-05, 5397 - PASSING THE TORCH – Recently the Hathaway-Bennett family band made a rare public appearance when it debuted two gifted fourth generation members, Madison LaForce on voice and Josh Adams on guitar. You could see how proud our oldest member was as he watched the youngest play.
