But this slowing down is part of a larger cycle - that we are part of, too, don’t forget. . . 🌱 Plants and trees prepare for their dormant season - rooting themselves into the earth. . . ✨ Seeds tuck themselves into the soil, preparing for renewal. . . ❄️ The frost reminds us that the wheel turns with or without us - we must prepare to nourish ourselves through Winter. . . These cues from nature - these signs are for us! Slow down, dig deep, and nourish yourself! πŸ’— . My frozen garden greens are reminding me to preserve more food and plant bulbs. 🌷 . . πŸ›‘ Are you reading the signs? What are you noticing!

What do you like to make with wild apples?

Instagram post 2157778744152757712_7271613200 A Hawthorn Berry . How sweet a thought, How strange a deed, To house such glory in a seed-- A berry, shining rufously, Like scarlet coral in the sea! A berry, rounder than a ring, So round, it harbours everything; So red, that all the blood of men Could never paint it so again. And, as I hold it in my hand, A fragrance steals across the land: Rich, on the wintry heaven, I see A white, immortal hawthorn-tree. - Mary Webb
