 A week late...thank goodness there are no fines for this.  I am already knee deep in library fines as it is. Maybe I really should return those book soon. Anyhow...here are my thoughts and photos from my trip to The Habitat Sanctuary in Belmont. I was accompanied on this trip by my kindred spirit and best friend. It was nice to share some of my nature therapy with another and we had a wonderful day. We also stopped by Drumline Farms. I took less photos there as I was engaged in feeling this close to one of my dreams- having a farm and a pet little red fox. Precious. The farm was precious. There were some very fat and cozy sheep, a baby kid born only the day before, and my new favorite creature a little orphaned and tame red fox, who I will call Ferrari. Or not. I am not sure of his name yet. I am only sure that I was in love. Now on to Belmont- 

The sanctuary is quite small; however filled with little delights including a tree that had been hollowed out by lightening. The keepers of the sanctuary must have realized it was a 'catch' and put bolts into so it would stay intact. An art installation of sorts. Being short was a blessing this day because I fit inside the tree. It seemed almost as if I was just a bit smaller I could climb up to some far off place.


While on our walk my mom called. I sat on a little log while we talked. This tree was in my direct view standing proud and strong.
"Walking I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands."

On my way for drinks to discuss The Dorchester Project. More info to come soon. :) Until then have a great end of your weekend!!
