bold wisdom!

“Nature!

We are surrounded and embraced by her; powerless to separate ourselves from her, and powerless to penetrate beyond her … 

We live in her midst and know her not. 

She is incessantly speaking to us, but betrays not her secret. … 

She has always thought and always thinks; though not as man, but as Nature. … 

She loves herself, and her innumerable eyes and affections are fixed upon herself. 

She has divided herself that she may be her own delight. 

She causes an endless succession of new capacities for enjoyment to spring up, that her insatiable sympathy may be assuaged. … 

The spectacle of nature is always new, for she is always renewing the spectators. 

Life is her most exquisite invention; and death is her expert contrivance to get plenty of life.”

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Magical Elder

The plant dryer is back in action, nettles, mint, and currently elderflowers and rose petals in anticipation of a new season of herb teas.

Cordials also infusing, and nettle and elder fizzes on the brew...when sunny breaks between repeated thunderstorms and heavy downpours allow the delicate blooms to dry enough for harvest.

Mayberries nearly finished now, strawberries and cherries starting to garnish breakfasts.
Why does anyone neglect to have edibles in a garden, when such treasures are easy to cultivate, and it's impossible to buy this kind of ripe freshness!
Some apple trees have nicely developing fruits, so fingers crossed for a reasonable harvest this year...promises of peaches too for the first time in 3 summers!
