    "The woman walked within the wood, the badger slept, as he knew he could, the squirrel climbed the tree of wood, and all was quiet, and all was good." I wrote that poem a while ago now, and it could defiantly be about you Colette, and your wood. "The woman walked there every day, she watched the trees, and the way they'd sway, she thanked the spirits along the way, as the fox and the badger came out to play."May there always be peace and calm in your beautiful woods Colette. Heaven on earth. xxx

    A few months after my mother died, randomly Forget-Me- Nots came up in my yard. I had tried LITERALLY FOR YEARS AND YEARS to grow them and NOTHING. Then suddenly little blue flowers were there after she passed. She was an avid life long gardener. Miss you Mom, RIP ❤

    Hello Colette, it was lovely to see your update. I only discovered your channel last year, but I now feel like I’ve been with you from the beginning, & you’ve inspired me to do more with my modest garden. The silver birch I planted in winter is doing well & even though I’m now 70, I hope to share many happy years with it, & see it mature.

    For whatever reason, my day started out stressful. To relax, I made a cup of tea and pulled out my rug hooking project. Next, I turned on my computer to watch a relaxing video. For for whatever reason, your channel popped up and I decided to watch just one video. Long story short, your videos made me feel at home. Thank you for allowing me to view your home and the woodlands. Discovering your channel was not an accident.

    My heart started beating louder when you arrived at the 13 stones. Such a powerful feeling. I remember when I did my first communication a hundred years ago in Italy I was gifted a gold number 13 charm.. Unfortunately, I don't have it anymore.
    Walking through your garden is like going back in time, unlocking memories...
    I would rather be there... stop at a certain memory.... and take a different path...
    Your garden is better than any counsellor...💕🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️

  • @victoriawitte7672
    @victoriawitte7672 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think that one of the most useful things about your videos is showing how much growth occurs in trees in a relatively short length of time. The oak tree that you show which is only around 17 years old, while certainly not as large as it will be at maturity, is a good sized tree as it stands now. I think that people moving into a house with little landscaping and considering trees as additions shy away from real shade trees, oaks, beeches, etc and think in terms of something that will get up large enough to "show up" fairly quickly. So they opt for fast growing, showy trees rather than planting for the long haul which will produce something that really has presence and adds so very much to a landscape.
    Unfortunately I think that some of this thinking is because people here in the US move so often and of course plant (if they plant trees at all) for themselves thinking they will only be around for four or five years and want "their tree" to enjoy during their time in that location. I don't know how you can get around that situation.

    Is it wrong of me to say that I am still missing Jack? In my mind's eye I am seeing him romping along these paths as Collette records her walk through the woodlands. I've always wondered what a Mayflower looked like. Now i know. Thanks. I appreciate the effort it takes to upload your videos. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished.

I want you to know that right now, my half acre backyard is covered in dandelions and small blue flowers because we adopted your “No mow May” policy.
