Just Noticing ~ Faces in the Trees and the Things We See When We Slow DownRecently, I've been noticing faces in trees. It started because I began looking for them. And now, once you start looking, they seem to be everywhere. I've been sharing them with a friend too, and she's started looking for ... Read More

The Roots That Connect Us ~ Finding Gratitude, Contentment & Connection in Nature

There is something about this time of year that invites us to notice what has been gathered. The apples falling from the tree.The elderberries ripening.The last of the summer light.The first hints of autumn in the air.

The Things We Notice Along the Way

There is something lovely about the little things we notice when we aren't rushing. A squirrel balancing along a branch as though it were a tightrope.

Do You Bimble?

There is a word I have become rather fond of lately. Bimbling is quite different from hiking, marching, rambling or even walking. There isn't really a destination. There isn't a pace to keep. It's more of a gentle wandering with plenty of stopping along the way. You might bimble along a woodland... Read More

The Story of Camomile Lawn

People often ask where the name Camomile Lawn came from. It's a question I've been asked many times over the years, but one I've never really answered. The truth is, it wasn't chosen because I needed a business name. Long before there was a garden studio, yoga classes, EcoNidra, Reiki or retreats... Read More

The Quiet Gifts Nature Offers When We Slow Down

Earlier this week, as I wandered through the woods, I noticed the ground scattered with empty hazelnut shells. The squirrels had been busy. The hazelnuts themselves still looked green to me, not quite ready, and yet somehow the squirrels already knew otherwise. They hadn't waited for what looked ... Read More

Little Threads

I hope this finds you with a little time to pause. Perhaps with a cup of tea in your hands, a window open to the summer air, or a few quiet moments before the day unfolds.
