Gentle rain falls from the sky between bright sunshine and winds that swirl the clouds above.
This is a lovely weekend.
Flowers and seed-heads adorn the interior of the cottage.

Earth Sense
Thankfully it rained for most of the night! Not a lot of people would be happy to report that, but as a grower, the dry heat of recent weeks has been a close call for the younger plants!
The water barrels have filled and the well is finally sending more than a trickle to the cottage! More peas and beans were planted out yesterday, so this rain will bed them in nicely!
If it was possible to bottle the Earth Scents outside in the gardens, then I’d be a millionaire and could buy lots more land to plant trees on! 
There is another Earth Sense though…one we all need to tune into…one that ensures a sense of well-being. 
A sense of belonging to the environment around us. 
Living in a small cottage ensures much time spend outdoors during the day, something that was common place for many people until fairly recent times. 
The advent of TV ensured more and more people lived indoors and not out. 
I recall as a child spending much of the day outdoors, as there just wasn’t room in the house to play! 
Walking outdoors can add to a sense of well-being, even in the rain.
The healing aspects of Nature are being continually distilled into medication by the pharmaceutical corporations, yet remains inherent all around us. 
Nature massages the soul!
Being outside with plants, trees, wildlife, Nature, animals and birdsong, is unbeatably good for ones’ mental health! 
Nature is real and alive, strong but gentle and always there for us despite the abuse we fling at her. 
It is something that cannot be put into a pill and certainly not for sale in a bottle!
You can visit the Bealtaine Cottage Shop on Etsy…
You are indeed a very lucky lady to be so content in your own skin and to lead the life of your choosing. Enjoyed the calming pics and video.
Thank you. We create the lives we want from the inside out. I’m glad you enjoy visiting Bealtaine Cottage…that’s why I share!

Enjoyed video and photo images very much. Life sounds…..good and kind and worthwhile, when nature’s gifts are welcomed unconditionally.
Please forgive my obvious ignorance, but what is Lovage, is it an herb? How do you make the wine…is there a past video where you explain how you do it? You are the most industrious person I’ve ever!
I meant to finish my sentence….you are theh most industrious person I’ve ever known
Lovage is featured on this blog…somewhere…
Anyway, it is a herb. It tastes and smells like celery. The wine is a simple one to make and yes, I shall blog it, don’t worry!
Industrious? Well, I do not have a TV, I don’t drink, I get up early and I do not have a partner…so no distractions, ha! Ha!
But, I do love my life!
