We hardly notice the onset of the shortening of days. Abundance surrounds us all as we struggle to keep up with the fast-pace of the green world. Nettles, Comfrey, Nasturtiums….just a few that are thrilled with the rain-soaked season we’ve been having. The Elder is in full bloom with its cluster of white blossoms, unveiling its hiding place among the camoflauge of various shades of green. I have noticed that a beautiful Elder has shown itself from a cluster of trees near the pond! I am also pleased to see the Sassafras has made itself at home in numerous areas of the forest surrounding the house. Tomorrow I take my first hike in the National Park in over a week and am excited to see what awaits!
