Being still, listening to the trees telling their tales, to the wind and to the birdsong...
So many memories of happy games and discoveries.
We have various dens for various occasions, different trees for different games.
We know where a badger's set is, where different birds like to roost, places rabbits have their homes and where a little grey squirrel lives..
We know different spots to find different wild flowers, fungi, cones and other treasures..
Little hollows in trees each serve a different purpose...
This is the place witches make soup...The boys are just giving it a quick stir for them...
We are grateful that we have these woods in our lives. Thank you, woodland, for all you give us, for all you teach us. We respect and love you.
Aaaw. How sweet. And how fortunate you are!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had woods within walking distance - I've always found them to be especially enchanting.
Your kids look like precious woodland gnomes! They are so cute! How blessed you are to live by such natural beauty!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful location. Woods are indeed magical places. I always feel enlivened whenever I have a chance to be in the woods. Wish I had one near us!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in woods. The memory of them resides in my soul. I want that for my children. I miss the woods so much!!
ReplyDeleteah, this is such a sweet post. I love knowing the woods like that too! Such a valuable gift you have given your family.
ReplyDeleteI wish our woods were nearby...sadly, we have to drive to our favorite natural places. :(
ReplyDeleteI love your photos--so pretty & peace-filled.
We found baby muskrats today--oh my, how dear they were to watch!!
I just love the word woods. In Australia we have bush or rainforest - no woods - I really want to visit a wood one day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to be near!
