Living in a small cottage in the west of Ireland is easy enough!
It’s small…very small…two tiny bedrooms, one sitting room, a kitchen, shower room and porch.
It’s old…ish, and built from stone in the vernacular style and all local stone!
Bealtaine Cottage, for that is it’s name, nestles nicely into three acres, now mostly set to trees and ponds and permaculture!
The best place to seek God is in a garden.
You can dig for him there.
~George Bernard Shaw
Permaculture means planting, planting and more planting!
Plant for your life!
The Earth needs trees and cover and food and fuel…lots and lots…and Abundance follows!
Oregano grows wild here, through the gravel, around trees and all over the tunnel and bees love it.
I think it annoys God if you walk by the color purple in a field
and don’t notice.
– Alice Walker
From “The Color Purple”
Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated,
inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody
talks much about the muscular limbs, dark, swollen buds, strip-tease trees and
unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora. ~Ketzel
