Message from the Mountain

The wet conditions improved enough for us to park at the bottom of the road to the Orchard and to hike up to check on the Cabin to see how winter had affected the land. The positive energy was incred…

This is the day that a great many people have been waiting a half year for. It is the day when meteorological and astrological springs come together giving true hope that winter plans will now become…

A week ago Nature deposited a half foot of snow on the mountainside and, just like a trick I used to do in a hypnosis show, with the snap of a finger, it all disappeared. Nature might snap its finger…

Today, St. Patrick’s Day, many people wear green to honor their Irish heritage, and Nature has its own green that dresses up rocks and trees. Every culture in the world has something to celebrate, an…

We don’t get a lot of guests for lunch as my social world is much different than my parents’ was, so the other day I smiled when I saw hoof prints leading to the ivy bush right outside of the Center.…

We decided not to plow the snow during the last storm because of the soft ground. However, it was necessary to drive back and forth with the truck to break up the frozen snow. It created an interesti…

Now that the recent snow has turned the landscape outside our windows white again, Nature is starting the melt all over. In life, as I am non-visual, I often have to start all over again on a project…

I had to smile as I went to open a window and noticed a paint chip on the sill in the shape of a heart. I was reminded that, in life, when we chip away at our worries, turning them over to our Belief…

The forecast for an above normal temperature spring caught us off guard when a snowstorm dumped another 4 to 6 inches on our practically bare ground. It was not what we were looking for, but Nature w…

Finally, after a year of anticipation; watching the tapping of the maple trees, the collecting of the sap and receiving the golden syrup, I felt pure joy and appreciations as I took a bite of hot blu…

I find that when the weather forecast comes on, I slip into a light trance and miss what is being said. Of course, the forecasters want to keep us in suspense, so we stay tuned. There are often two s…

The great debate is on again this year in our country as well as other countries in the world. Do we want to have daylight savings time or not? Tomorrow we change to it again. It appears life is full…

The other day we received two bottles of fresh maple syrup, the result of our friend's hard work tapping the trees, collecting the sap, and boiling it down. It is good to have small success goals alo…

Every year about this time I can feel the energy of the plants below the frozen ground start their push to find daylight. It can cause my skin to prickle or my legs to feel tight. Our souls are also …

We are in the middle of spring runoff on the mountainside and our little brook is roaring past on its way to the valley below. I love its sound and inspiration to set my intentions for a day filled w…

As the brook roars down the mountainside and the temperature is above normal, I noticed the lilac buds were bright green. I wondered if it was really Spring or is Nature just fooling us. We try to fo…

I do love to watch the maples being tapped the “old-fashioned way” with metal buckets hanging on the trees. There are some upgrades like a battery powered drill. I think of the old-fashioned way of c…

Another good indication that spring is on the way is the turning red of the maple sprouts and young limbs that give the landscape a little color. Soon there will be buds, and then the green leaves wi…

– I recently took a moment and enjoyed watching a chipmunk catching some sun. Just as people are waking up their minds for spring projects, so is wildlife.  All are filled with positive possibilities…

As March approached the first day of meteorological spring, the lions roared loudly, but this year the lambs came in with a powerful peaceful energy that just may win the month. Imagine heart-based l…
