Lighthouse Mountain Harvest & Health

Exuberant spring, with sun sometimes glowing,
Some days are colder, with chilly wind blowing,
Regardless of that, we need to keep growing,
So farewell for now, as we need to keep going!

Have you ever noticed that working in the soil increases our happiness by boosting our serotonin levels, increasing our vigor, improving our satisfaction with life, promoting an overall feeling of well being... and seems to do that with the animals as well? 😃

Was unsure at first what was keeping the floor of this little burrow on a hillside here looking so padded down and well used, but then those telling cedar seeds were later seen in it... then the busy gatherer of them was seen... snacking contentedly, while standing barefoot on the earth, grounding 👣

Have trouble sleeping? Here is a simple little hint for a good sleep from this Mountain Cottontail who must like this spot as he chooses it frequently --- pick a nice little dry place where you feel safe, big and fancy don't matter, then close your eyes, and off to dreamland you go! 💤

Vulnerable little being with soft kind eyes, trusting you, while he dines on the ground, just a few paces from you, can make for a precious, heart touching moment 💚
