    The river was in flood above the Salmon falls, brown and peaty from the mountains above. This was close by the Atlantic Ocean and by Knocknarea.

      Many people share things similar to Bealtaine Cottage, but it’s your kind eyes and your soft warm voice behind the camera that make your videos unique Colette… the roaring River reminds us that life can be harsh at times, but people like you bend with the ebb and flow, personifying the spirit of authentic gentleness in the world.

    We definitely need to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the natural world around us. My 5 year old grandson invited himself to my cottage on Saturday night. On Sunday after breakfast he joined me and my dogs for a walk in the local woods. He loved spending time finding dragons claws, dinosaur bones and holes in trees where the fairies live. Wonderful to see where his imagination took him ❤

    Absolutely breathtaking. You are so right.Too many people forget to be grateful in these times. In a world of "more, now" and "chaos." Time to slow down and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. We are able to control how we choose to walk through this life and how we treat this glorious world and one another.

    Good to see you Colette. Thank you for the Bealtaine walk about and for taking us along on your Mother's Day excursion. What a wonderful way to spend the day. I couldn't think of a better place to spend a moonlit eve than in ones very own Zen garden. Enjoy it Colette. You deserve it!! I am currently enjoying watching 16 whitetail deer raiding my bird feeders. I will refill them this afternoon. It's like a community diner. Birds, squirrels, deer... ☺

    Thank you for your videos, Colette. They always leave me with a good feeling. I turned 65 today and for my birthday I ordered your book, A Cottage and Three Acres. I have savored every word so far. You have inspired me to turn my little .22 acre lot in the middle of the city into a garden paradise. Hopefully the birds will come, I love the bird song in so may of your videos. Best wishes to you, Colette. You have done miraculous things on your three acres. I'm looking forward to getting your next book. I'm pretty sure I'll want to read them all. Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Colette! It's been a while since I've been able to see you here on YT - we've been so busy with our new house and property, transitioning from a New York life. Spring has come here in Pennsylvania, and we are obsessing about this year's planting. I am looking to make an understory under some of our trees, and we are starting a new meadow-like bed in the front of the house. I'm not sure what our neighbors will think of us, accustomed as they are to monoculture lawns. But we don't care! Thanks for being such an inspiration over these many years!

    Well, my goodness, thank Heaven for you, Colette. I am sitting, here on this rainy Autumn morning in the Blue Mountains, Sydney, Australia. I tuned in to the news about Trump’s impending arrest etc. oh! My word, talk about noise and drama and a good way to spoil a beautiful, soft, Autumn morning 🤦🏼‍♀️ not that I’m a Trump devotee, by the way.
    So, I thought, I’ll bring my mind back to a peaceful space, I’ll watch Colette. Immediately, I sighed and thought, yes, that’s just what I need. Your sensible, quiet voice and the harmony of Bealtaine Cottage. I’m happy now. All the blare and bark of hyper news and the silly goings on of the world just vanishes when I hear your voice and learn how you have transformed your garden. I too have a rather boggy bit of land. Not all plants like to have wet feet. This property is on a hanging swamp with a creek that runs down the back.
    I’ve planted water loving trees and it is quite a hit and miss affair but I’ve learned a lot from you. Also, our Winters here in the Mountains are very frosty so I have to plant frost hardy plants. The ferns don’t seem to mind.
    Anyway, Colette I shall now stop rambling and continue to watch your videos.
    Blessings to you. 💚

    Your garden always brings me such joy. I really love the view of the stars above ! That is amazing! You are so lucky to be able to see them so clearly as I imagine you have very little light pollution where you are. I have embraced 'slow living' more and more each day. I have observed so many of my friends tearing around, seemingly frittering up life just trying to keep themselves busy, sometimes to exhaustion, as thought they are almost afraid that their time is running out. I do the opposite and I feel better for it. Some of them look at me and can't see my enjoyment in solitude, gazing at the sky, watching nature in peace, slowing down to marvel at all around me. They whirl around busy with this or that, going here and there, passing by the beauty without even so much as a glance. 🪴🌳🌾🌹🌌🌞🐞

    Slow down and smell the roses 🌹 is a delightful saying that always makes sense. The beauty and immensity of life unfolding around us all is a process of change and revitalization. We all have the choice to embrace the moment and celebrate the fact that we are witnessing a gift of living in paradise now as it is now. So much to be appreciative of. It is very helpful for us all to realize how magnificent and outrageously glorious the Earth is and the grace of being alive in this moment to moment presence of being able to connect with the Universe and the energies of love and wonderment in witnessing the miraculous newness of each precious instant ❤
    Thanks ❤ Collette for sharing this information with us all. It is very important for our humanity and our sanity to be present and restored by the recognition of the environment around us in each precious moment of being alive. We are given the choice of living with delight and happiness and the ability to connect with the earth and the magic. It is a process of change and such a delightful experience for us to realize what is going on around us with our senses and our open hearted jubilation and awe ❤
