“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
~ Rachel Carson
Yesterday was one of those days when my body just wasn’t cooperating.
At first it got me down. I had so many things to do, and I couldn’t see well enough to do any of them!
Ben came to the rescue and suggested what I needed was a walk and then a nap. He was right.
So, here, in pictures is my walk around the farm, and then the beginnings of fruit salad for dinner.
The bird is a tawny frogmouth fledgling who took shelter on the wheelbarrow in one of our sheds. Cute, hey?
Hello! I stumbled across this post as I was quickly typing in my own website address (groundedgoodness.com). YES! Nature is healing and calming and indescribable, really. I live in Canada and am surrounded by wide open space…it’s beautiful. I’m glad I came across this post and your blog. 🙂 I hope you are feeling better!
Hi, Amanda! Great to meet you. What positive and uplifting things you have on your website. I’m glad that some magical force brought you our way. Much love, Nicole xx
I love that face😘
We must always find joy in nature and what God has given us to enjoy even in the bad times we must see the joy. Thank you Nicole
Good health and happiness,
Jo-Ann
Hope your feeling better after your walk it always works for me too . I have never heard of a tawny frogmouth …he looks so grumpy and gorgeous all rolled in to one . Is that Burt I see peeping. Give that dog a strawberry 😊

The baby bird and the Bert’s face are enough to melt any heart. I fully understand the body failing to hold up it’s end of the bargain. Or maybe I didn’t hold up mine first? I will get better and you will too!
Yes it sucks when our body decides to take a holiday on us
Aww, what a gorgeous owl. Hope you’re feeling better today Nicole. Take care xo
Hope your feeling better today sweetheart…and that baby tawny frogmouth owl is ‘almost’ as cute as dear Bert! actually that baby owl is SOOOOO cute…XOXO
