So very lovely to hear from you Linda. I think of you often and think how we would have so much fun if we lived closer... blessings to you always dear one xoxoxoComfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-16196756571079185632011-10-08T14:34:37.359-05:002011-10-08T14:34:37.359-05:00Leslie, I truly enjoy your insights everytime that...Leslie, I truly enjoy your insights everytime that I read your blog. What you said today about the groundhog really hits home with me. I have had a groundhog living under my shed for 4 years now and I enjoy watching her forage and play on my land. I didn't know her message before today and now I feel so gratified and blessed to have her living her. I watched her come up from the creek a half mile from my home and walk across my land in the late afternoon before she went behind my shed into the woods. It wasn't until later that I found her digging out her new lodgings under my shed. Since then I do leave fruit and veggie scraps that I don't use at the base of my steps out back. I have watched her enjoy by day and the possums_raccoons enjoy by night. Our resident groundhog has been prancing and dancing through my gardens quite a bit this year -- tasting this and that. I'm glad there's extra for her to enjoy. Always so happy when you've added a new post. Bless you always.

I live in the same road where she lived in Olton when she used to cycle out to Earlswood Lakes to sit and paint. Her house was number 11 and mine is 212 - hers is Edwardian and mine was built in 1957. It's a small world! I'm seeing cormorants everywhere this holiday and need to look up what they mean so I can think about their wisdom.Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-54303073901454285392011-10-02T04:50:56.442-05:002011-10-02T04:50:56.442-05:00Great post - I enjoyed it all the more for reading...Great post - I enjoyed it all the more for reading that you were peeling pears whilst watching The Walking Dead!Mikehttp://www.callofthewildfood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-92035061044876168292011-10-01T22:58:55.149-05:002011-10-01T22:58:55.149-05:00Long time coming... glad I picked now to get back!...Long time coming... glad I picked now to get back!

Peach vinegar sounds delish , never heard of that before. I look forward to the recipe and your final taste results.<br />Glad you've found your animal totem , there's so much we can learn from animals. It also reminded me I wanted to look-up dragonflies , we attended a Pow Wow a couple of weeks ago and they were everywhere.<br /><br />~ Be Blessed ~ JoyceAnnJoyceAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421027375720692604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-30941469631276667192011-09-30T14:12:00.506-05:002011-09-30T14:12:00.506-05:00Hi Leslie,

I love the pictures of Peppermint and the Earl, they really look like the Lord and Lady of the manor inspecting what the peasants have bought for them!!<br />My husband made me watch Walking Dead too, it was definitely a bit too gruesome for me but quite fun all the same. :)<br />I'm another big fan of Edith Holden, the pictures are just so lovely.<br />Happy Autumn days to you, the family and the cats xxxxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-19187958396214926452011-09-29T16:55:15.330-05:002011-09-29T16:55:15.330-05:00Thank you Danielle:) I am organizing my home this ...Thank you Danielle:) I am organizing my home this week. Putting Edith's book with several others that are meant to be read throughout the year, so hopefully will have a similiar ritual soon:) No, my daughter's neighbor has a lovely peach tree. They hadn't harvested it, so I just asked:) I gave them some peach preserves, and peach jam in return! <br />Oh jars... oh heavens, part of what I am trying to do now! Make room for jars! lol! Glad you had a happy harvest:) Happy Autumn to you also xoxoxo oh and thanks!

I too just love Edith Holden's book - I have a little ritual where I read it at the beginning of each month - and it so helps me to tune into the magic that the coming weeks will hold. I'm a little jealous of your beautiful peaches - do you have a peach tree? We've also been busy canning away and our up to our elbows now in jars! Don't know where we'll fit them all but it does make one feel very comforted looking at them all :) Your experience with the groundhog sounded so magical and I loved reading about the mythical symbolism there.
