The annual wreath tradition continues. Each year, The annual wreath tradition continues. Each year, we cut down our own tree in national forest land and I use the trimmings to make a wreath. This year, I had been putting it off as yet another "chore," but when I plopped myself down on the floor and started snipping boughs, I remembered why I do it. Creating something rustic and wild with natural materials is soothing and centering. As usual, the end result is beautifully imperfect. I normally add a little red bird in a scarf, but it was too much red, so the crazy owl gets a star role this year. Our pup was annoyed that I chose to work on this project rather than feed her, but she survived. 😁 #personalnatureproject #holidays #natureproject #natureart #holidaywreath #yule #frontdoor #makesomething #holidaycrafts #holidaydecor #inspiredbynature #naturalholiday #decorate #putabirdonit #fluffyowl #owl #greenery #realtree #realwreath #workwithnature
You don't have to be flashy to stand out. This ti You don't have to be flashy to stand out. This time of year, you will see bright red birds on holiday decorations and cards. Usually cardinals. Yes, they are gorgeous birds and look kind of amazing against the snow and evergreens. But I live outside of cardinals' typical range. So, they are not an accurate depiction of Colorado winter for me. Dark-eyed Juncos, on the other hand? Oh, yes. They are only at my low foothills elevations in winter. They have different coloring and patterns depending on their subspecies (pink-sided and slate subspecies depicted here). They travel in groups, chatter to each other almost constantly and feast and forage in and under shrubs. It's like a huge family holiday celebration. Similarly, some humans prefer more subdued colors and behavior, and they prefer to avoid the spotlight and seek the company of a few trusted family and friends. They may shy away from social media and selfies. Yet just because they are quietly going about their business doesn't mean they don't matter or contribute. If you are one of those humans (hint: so am I), I see you. Especially this time of year, the pressure to do it all and be fabulous can be ... a lot. You just be you. #personalnatureproject #beyou #youareenough #quietstrength #quiet #quietbeauty #learnfromnature #neutralcolors #beauthentic #selfreflect #mentalhealth #trueselfcare #introvertlife #selfworth #personalstrength #growthmindset #midlife #coloradobirds #dailywalks #birds
Ooh, it's seed catalog season! Time to start dream Ooh, it's seed catalog season! Time to start dreaming of garden 2023, for me and my garden coaching clients. These are the first of several that we receive. Looking forward to browsing them and doing a little garden dreaming. #personalnatureproject #gardener #seedstarting #gardenplanning #coloradogardencoach #coloradogardening #gardendreams #yearroundgardener #gardenplan #timeinnature #backyardnature
This pretty Solitaire would like to remind you to This pretty Solitaire would like to remind you to take time for you this season. Stop. Eat a few berries. Call a friend or two. Rest. This one called out to two other friends nearby, but was content to just hang out on this branch for several minutes, enjoying the view. Learn from nature.
