M O N D A Y

 

Good Monday Morning!

Starting off with a vintage Herb Shed post....

Still relevant.

How was your weekend?

We drove to western Massachusetts to one of our favorite places for a hike,

a bit of lunch and a lot of de-stressing.

I found my favorite flowers blooming in a field and just had to take

my photo with them.

As a child I would lie in the grass amongst these flowers with the sunshine on

my face...green grass all around me.

One of my happiest memories.

I call them my birthday flowers because I see them right before.

Girls going for a stroll.

I also found this little Jesus hidden in the grass.

I swear, God knows just when I need a sign.

This was quite literal.

Came home to a quiet evening around the hollow.

It was such a perfect Spring day.

Mondays are for beginnings.

I choose to start with prayer time after setting up the house.

It is early rising time for me ( as the birds outside my window will

not let me sleep past 5:20am anyway).

I set intentions.

I make lists.

Then I start my day with positivity by switching on my

favorite music or podcast while I start morning chores.

Once outside, I am feral... it is hard to get me back inside.

My flocks and gardens are calling, the established gardens need some care,

I take frequent walks to see Lucy ( the goose) and sun bathe on the dock.

Today I am sketching out the new gardens that will be up against the fence almost

installed... we still have to install the gates.

I will be adding grasses and perennials in the new beds in the front.

Very much like this:

Filled with seasonal flowers for the bees.

Once it is close I will share photos.

Now it is just poles and wire... LOL!

But it will add to the beauty of the landscape.

I am off... to start my week, start my day...to live life as simply as possible.

To not let the chaos of the world creep where it does not belong.

A few days in nature & with those I love resets me.

May you all have a blessed Monday and a great start to your week.

xoxo
