The Glorious Chestnut Tree
This week: I stood under our chestnut tree while it was in full bloom. It was buzzing with hundreds of bees moving through the blossoms like they were in sync with the wind. It sounded like summer before it even arrived.
I didn’t plan to stop. But I stood there for a long time, just listening.
It reminded me that even on a homestead where everything feels “slow” it’s easy to rush through beauty.
This week, I’m trying to notice more. Not control more. Just notice.
