Maybe I didn't really, you're right. :)<br /><br />Another thing that happened was a little mouse was checking out my backpack because I was sitting so still at the top of the mountain. He almost ran over my shoe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456363835248084510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584778218960778937.post-36389609153143682192011-03-21T22:42:54.790+00:002011-03-21T22:42:54.790+00:00Hi Brooke,
I'm so glad these books were poppin...Hi Brooke,<br />I'm so glad these books were popping into your head as I do not know them (can you believe that?)and I'm always hungry for a good read...thank you. The Treehenge I did know about, and we have been to Stonehenge a few times. I prefer <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/england/images/361.jpg&imgrefurl=http://sacredsites.com/europe/united_kingdom/avebury.html&usg=__4hwncgE4BamS0KO1Frg1PzzMovE=&h=317&w=500&sz=47&hl=en&start=7&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=mzIEDipFP-uLkM:&tbnh=82&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3DAvebury%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26tbs%3Disch:1&ei=hM2HTb7-NMqEhQf_nNy_BA" rel="nofollow">Avebury</a> though....it has more 'feeling' there for me and you are still able to touch the stones and walk among them...they have roped off Stonehenge. <br /><br />That little house and whole place was completely isolated and private, with the woods around it and the stream in front of it. Someone is possibly making a start on renovating as the ground was being cleared around it, and Jude and I were so hoping they will do it sensitively and NOT turn it into an ordinary box like so many sadly do. Jude tried to buy it many years ago, but the farmer would not sell at the time. It was my first sighting, and I fell for it too.<br /><br />You are so lucky to have seen the moonrise on Saturday....clouds rolled in with us in the late afternoon....often the way of it here :~( We had a beautiful viewing of it on Friday though :~)<br /><br />How wonderful your Equinox day sounds too, (isn't it great that you did that even though you'd forgotten!)and those squeeky chipmunks sound so fun. I feel the same for our Red Kites as you do about your Black Vultures. My body might be on the ground, but my spirit is right up there with them whenever I see them....and yes :~) my heart flies with Tilly when she runs like this :~)))helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412509910451805109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584778218960778937.post-29256581026488652882011-03-21T17:07:56.071+00:002011-03-21T17:07:56.071+00:00It looks like you three had a perfect equinox!! Th...It looks like you three had a perfect equinox!! That tumbledown house would be a great place to move into and get to know as you gently fixed it up ~ For some reason two books are popping into my head as I read your post: Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees, by Roger Deakin; and A book of Silence, by Sara Maitland. In both, the authors live in small houses and Sara's looks just like the one in your photo. Wildwood is so good as he explores the history of trees as far back as there is memory: there used to be a Treehenge by Stonehenge. You may already know that but I was intrigued. We used to have so many Old Growth forests in the States but all that is gone now. I have seen the redwoods, however. :)<br /><br />On Saturday we watched the full moon rise over the mountains and yesterday I went back and hiked there (Hawk Mountain is about an hour's drive.) Tons of squeeky chipmunks and lots of Black Vultures soaring so beautifully! And I had completely forgotten it was the Equinox!<br /><br />Tilly is so joyful and boisterous as she runs ~ there's nothing so close to flying ourselves as to watch our dogs do it.<br /><br />:) BrookeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456363835248084510noreply@blogger.com
