    I went out to collect some greenery on Christmas Eve, early morning, it was amazing how many little flowers were opening! And of course, Robins already busy choosing their territories, twittering away! Even though it was still stormy, it was energizing. We only need to look away from our screens, open our eyes and ears.❤

    Today is the first full moon after the Solstice, making it Yuletide.
    Thanks Collette for the coppice information. Willow is a great resource for making willow water by soaking several branches in a bucket of water. Willow water is terrific for transplants to use to help them to be invigorated and to thrive. I water the younger plants with it too. It is like aspirin for plants.
    ❤The artistic qualities of your videos is very inspiring and well done.
    Blessings to you and Patsy and everyone in this world with peace and learning from each other. ❤

      It's often said that we evolved in a symbiotic relationship with birds. Their singing tells us there's no predators around, so listening to them, we feel calm and safe. They keep our surroundings free of annoying insects. In return we let them have a share of our fruit, and put out food for them in Winter.

    Good afternoon Colette, thank you for this video, it is so lovely to hear the bird song. In my gardens they get very vocal when I open my door into the garden, they signal to each other and hop about in the garden trees, food is being served
    It seems as though that is what they are shouting, it is magical standing under the trees as they leave their perches and fly to the feeders. Also ground feeders are included in the food distribution. They are bit more sedate about the event, The Colored Dove calls as he flies overhead preparing to land in one of the many trees that border my garden area. And so this is one of my routines each day. Soon the feeding will get a bit more frenzied as we go into the nesting period, although there is also plenty of foraging too.The Mahonia tree in my garden still has a lot of flowers heads, I watched the largest bees coming right through November to pollinate and feed, less than 2 miles from me there is a keeper of bees,
    When telling her about the bees activities the keeper thinks they could be her bees, I had taken a photo of a large bee on the Mahonia,and sent it to her website,for her to display. If it is her bees on my Mahonia, after tasting her delicious honey, all I can say is it's pure nectar.🤗🌞
    Hugs and Blessings to you and yours.💚🌹

    What a lovely video. It's still so green there. I have snow on the ground with an occasional patch of earth appearing under the trees. Occasionally I see ferns sticking their beautiful leaves out from under their warm winter blanket of white. We have yet to see the extreme snow and cold here in the mountains. January through March is when we expect our deep winter weather. Thank you for this video. Blessings to you dear Colette, your family and Patsy too.

    Merry Christmas Day to you Colette. We spent a quiet Christmas on the farm and enjoyed a traditional dinner. I am pleased to hear you will be getting the internet, as I envision that I will be a bit isolated this winter, following my last surgery in January. Hopefully the recovery will be a short one. Whilst I am homebound, there are lots of craft projects for me to do, besides reading and enjoying your channel. It will be a New Year filled with possibilities ~ Diane

    Maybe this has been answered in a Q&A, but what do the surrounding neighbours say about the woodland? They must be impressed. From the videos that fleetingly show surrounding fields, it seems a stark difference. I’m always struck by the constant bird song and movement in the Bealtaine woodlands whereas the surrounding fields seem a bit lifeless? The street I live on is a bit similar in a way. Friends who visit my place for the first time often remark how vibrant my garden is compared to the ‘builder landscaping’ of the neighbouring houses. But I don’t see birds and insect life in those symmetrical/lawn and manicured landscaped yards.

    Merry Continuing Christmas, Colette.
    Bird song is so calming and it is easy to sit down and just listen for a while! The sun was out here to in my parts of Sweden, but it got more cloudy at noon and bow the Sun is hiding behind thick grey clouds .
    .
    I so await the Spring and have prepared my Pots for soon be able to plant seeds and cuttings in, And when it comes to insects like bumblebees and bees it is good to have plants that flower around March - April, It is the time when the Honeybee starts its work, collecting nectar, and its a very Good! thing to have some Sallow Trees in the Garden, because that is the first of all Plants that HoneyBees gets their food from... So whatever you all do, save the Sallow Trees, so the Honeybee can survive during the early Spring!🐝🐝🐞🦋 And by that, they give back so much by pollinating our Gardens!
    Lots of Christmas hugs from Sweden🇸🇪!🤗💖🇸🇪

Took a snap and showed my neighbour who writes for the local rag, almost immediately he came back and said its an American one that must have got blown off course in recent storms. Anyway next thing I know he brings a local twitcher who quizzed me and wanted the photo and told me not to tell folk where I saw it because apparently it would attract enthusiasts from all over, who knew 😂

    I would love to be able to leave some baubles outside but the birds in my yard follow me around to watch what I’m doing. Their curiosity is endless so anything I leave outside gets the once over as if it needs to pass inspection. I can see two Rosellas in the birdbath now having a wash and chirping. I live in the subtropics and I do not feed the birds as they have plenty of native trees in my yard to feed on.

    In my area, central Massachusetts, we are discouraged to feed the birds because it attracts unwanted pests. What can we plant in our gardens that will help sustain the birds through the winter? I plant for birds and bees in spring through fall and I leave everything as is until the next spring hoping I'm helping. Thanks so much for all you wonderful videos. 😊😊😊
