    Hello Collette, appreciate so very much your
    Evening walk around your land,
    Yes there is something so serene
    As the daylight fades into the looming
    Darkness of nighttime .

    I must say, this is my favourite time of year: the colours, the sense of slowing down towards rest and subsequent rebirth and the embracing darkness. Love it!

    You are right Colette, a beautiful magical time of the year, I just love Autumn and winter. I love the stillness, and the old saying, " If you can't see the beauty in Winter, then you dont deserve the Spring" , is so true. X

    Colette, it's wonderful hearing you say , winter is a time of rest. I live by that statement. Age( 60) has brought a more appreciation for all the seasons. NB🇨🇦

      I did the same. Listened in bed before going to sleep. I fell asleep after the first couple of minutes because Colette's voice is so soothing so just woken up and rewatched. It's 2.30am.

    How lovely everything is. So glad you got tp spend precious time with your grandkids .Bet Patsy was glad to see you and get back home. Well, as the days wind down and we rest, I hope we can still spend some relaxing moments with you. Maybe some chats around the kitchen table with a cup of tea. Well, another lovely time with your company. Thanks again Colette. 💖

    Thank you very much Collette. I love your observations & especially about the light. I think we have a lovely quality of light at certain times in Ireland. Also, when the light is gently fading, which it does here in Ireland, my Mother used to say "the countryside is going to sleep". I love that. It describes it beautifully. You teach us to observe things we might otherwise not notice. Best wishes from County Clare. ❤️

    Being from Oregon, the Mahonia (Oregon Grape) is our state flower and native here. Love that there is a bit of Oregon in the west of Ireland! I too love winter and this year more than most looking forward to its period of rest and recharging. Recent events have my batteries, physical and mental, drained!!!

    My favorite season, dear Colette. By now, I am tired of yard work, especially after this past sweltering hot summer. I did collect some zinnias, which are now drying, and will bring joy once again next year. Just like you are saying, now is the time to reflect, read good books by the fire, and enjoy some leisurely knitting. Time for our bodies to relax. Thanks for your wholesome videos. I love to listen to your stories❤

    I come originally from the NE of England where we had tremendous thick fogs on the coast where I lived. I miss them and the local foghorn blaring through the night, now I am in New Zealand, we rarely get a decent fog here in Nelson South Island.

    Beautiful sunset! The light through the trees! When we get fog here it rolls in right off the Atlantic, and there is no seeing through it at all. It envelopes and isolates everything, and in the distance we can hear the buoys and the foghorn from the lighthouse. Quite magical! As long as I don't have to try to drive anywhere!

    Colette, it is beautiful time now. I needed to finish some work in the garden but suddenly like if Earth told me: " My child, let me rest." It is so nice how Mother Earth needs calm and rest. And I told myself I will do garden work before spring and leave Mother to have calm...😊

    We get those fogs as well in Western Oregon, and I love it. It seems like it softens both the air and the sound. Getting dark here earlier as well. Soon my best friend will call me about 4:30 PM upset because she is in her pjs thinking it is time for bed, and we will laugh like a couple of crazy old women! I too, really like this time of year and also preparing for the holidays which I so enjoy. Your videos are so lovely. Just pressed some oak leaves that I picked today.

    I love that you attune your body to the seasons. I have recently learnt that the seasonal cycle correlates to our energy and paying attention to this makes you feel aligned with mother nature. The colours at the moment are beautiful. I savour this beauty before the trees go bare. Love the rat proof bird feeder. I have just discovered a rat on my feeder and three tunnels under my shed so trying to sort a rat situation currently which I've never had to do before! It's a bit unnerving. If i feed the birds I only get pugeons and now a rat! Typical. Now i cant feed my pigeons til ive sorted the rat and a rat proof way to feed them.

    Thank you Colette, not only for the absolutely gorgeous scenes of your woods and gardens but also for your words of wisdom. The colours of the leaves are so beautiful as are those wonderful, bee, life saving flowers. I’m sure you planted those with the bees in mind.
    Bees are so important to our environment and our survival and are being assailed the world over, for many reasons, so it is a pure blessing when someone speaks up for them, thank you.
    Australia, where I live, was the last continent to NOT have the varoa mite. We have extremely stringent bio security laws yet l, relatively recently I found out they were discovered in some hives in one of our states. I am somewhat confused as to how they managed to get here. It’s a sad thing for our bees.
    Anyway, thank you again for another wonderful video and blessings to you and cheeky little Patsy.

The sassafras, blue beech, and winged elms are slowly starting to change, but certainly a slow start to autumn this year.

    It must be foggy everywhere, I'm just up from the southeast to midland. It twas foggy the whole way up. There was some glow around the moon, was it last night!? My days have started to merge! The last song I heard on the radio there was blackbird by the beatles. Then the dj was talking about a thrush that was in the same spot singing and how they make such a beautiful song 😊 I think November is harder than January because it's the lead up to Christmas and thinking of shopping trips and multiple stops to cafes for tea with my mother ❤ The fog is suitable for November, its bittersweet and totally matches the mood
