Bealtaine Cottage ~ Prepping 

I only place ads at the start and end of this video. This is for your enjoyment. Respond in kindness by letting the ads play. Thank you and blessings XXX

Collette, I'm a nun and I absolutely love your channel! I'm obviously Christian but a very holistic one. I'm sure God created us to be much more holistic than we are and to be at one with nature much more than we are. (There's a lot in the Bible about that including that the original role given to Adam was to be a gardener, and when Jesus rose from the dead he was mistaken for a gardener which symbolizes that he is the Divine Gardener.) Anyway I loved this video and something you said reminded me from a line from one our services: "From the beginning you have created all things and all your works echo the silent music of your praise." Keep up your beautiful videos and your beautiful ways of seeing the world and working with nature. x

What you've achieved at Bealtaine Cottage is powerful and inspiring, thank you for sharing. Many blessings to you and Patsy.

Good morning, Collette. When I woke up and saw you had posted a video, I stopped to make a cup of coffee prior to viewing. You are not only a breath of fresh air, but like a friend to sit and listen to first thing in the morning. It is such a delight to follow your dreams and accomplishments. Thank you as always for being a blessing.

I love your tender wish for your plantlets - so wishing you and the people reading this "good growing" it whatever they are doing today. Bright Blessings Xx

I too will always refer to we, as I live with my Madge, my rescue greyhound, and her and me are part of each other - just like you and Patsy. I have a tiny front area, but I fill it with trees and plants in pots, and My Christmas tree is still thriving in it's big black pot after 8 years! Every little bit we all do, helps Mother Earth thrive. xxx

Adoro i suoi video signora Colette, purtroppo non capisco perché io parlo solo italiano ma mi riempio gli occhi di queste meraviglie un saluto affettuoso dall'Italia

The sights ☀ 🌙 🌿 🌸 🐶 The sounds 🐦 🍃 🎐 🔥 I can only imagine the Smells 👃 of the fresh spring air, the bay leaves, the beautiful fragrent 💐 flowers, the Touch, the brush of a tree branch 🌿 , the gravel and earth beneath my feet and all the creative beauty that surrounds you and your sweet girl Patsy. 😂 ❤ Yes, Colette how you and your lovely Bealtaine cottage inspire and motivate me. I intend to live a similar and simplified life as you, dear Colette. How I wish ✨ for you that someone would fix your beautiful Stanley stove/cooker. Happy 20th Anniversary ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💘💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❣️

I too burned Bay cuttings this evening! I hope one day soon the world will wake up, & lift that Beautiful Veil & let the Healing begin! Happy St. Patrick's Day Colette & Patsy, & Much Love & Many Blessings As Always❤🌹☘🐦🐝🐛🦋🍀

I live with my cat Jaxx and always refer to 'we'. I sign cards with our names. We're family!!

I love the way you welcome...your door is always open ❤️ thank you for sharing your day

Thank you for bringing peace and beauty to our lives ❤

I always say we, too, it includes my cat. 😅 BB..I always thank water.without water nothing would exist on this planet.

Happy 20th anniversary to you, Patsy and Bealtaine Cottage, Colette. You truly are an inspiration to us all. You have made paradise right where you are. Blessings to you 💚💚

In 20 years you have created a wonderful woodland full of nature. It looks like it’s always been there. I always think I’m to old to busy and it will be so long for things to grow, but watching you has made me want to do more so I have “ procured “ some and on my way to reducing the lawn , which may save me time too. The ads I always let run for you. Blessings and thank you.

What a little slice of Heaven you have there. All of your hard work paid off. 💚🧡

That's perfect for "we". I live with 3 cats and 2 dogs plus my husband. When my husband is out of town for work, I refer to myself and my fur babies as "we" as well.🥰🥰🥰

I always say we. It’s Mighty Thor and me. I’m 75 1/2 and he’s 2 1/2. He loves cozying up to my cookstove.

I agree about the disconnect from nature. I know someone who calls themselves an 'earth angel' but uses weedkiller, insect repellent and slug pellets! A neighbour takes measures to try and stop hedgehogs coming into his garden as he says they have fleas. The disconnect is profound. Thank you for showing what is possible when Mother Earth is honoured and cared for and the connection is deep.

Sometimes I think that if we humans moved back to understanding and living as being part of nature so many awful things in this world would be solved. Congratulations on the 20 years, you have re-created some real beauty.

Thank you for the peaceful gift of your world this morning. 🍀

Imagine if everyone lived with your way of thinking and doing the world would be a paradise again. There is hope! Thank you for giving us that hope.🌲🌳🎄🥀🌻

100% food for the soul🥰 You are a truly magnificent woman and I hope you know just how loved and appreciated you are. Blessings.

Well as we head into the St Paddy’s day weekend it raining over Dublin but my window view is absolutely wonderful with all the spring flowers in bloom, little birds hopping about and the feeds refilled, please wash feeders out weekly as there is a virus going around and if you see the birds have puffed up feathers, please remove the feeders from the garden for a week, wash the feeders in warm water and soap, the virus kills the birds which we definitely don’t want happening, thanks Again

Your words about the veil of separation between humans and nature made me think of the lyrics to Woodstock by Joni Mitchell: ‘We are stardust, we are golden, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden’ ✨

Thank you Colette. Yes you and Bealtaine are living proof. And what a continued inspiration you are! Many blessings to you and little Patsy!!💞

Thank you Colette for Bealtaine cottage. A precious gift, a refuge from this weary world, a haven where one can rest in the gentle arms of nature and be soothed, calmed and reassured and in turn, be inspired to protect, defend and safeguard such beauty, bounty and wisdom from our Mother Earth. Happy 20th Anniversary and Bravo Colette, a true role model of courage, conviction, determination and outstanding achievement.

I say we too...............................my Fritz and I.......Fritz is a malecat........................good morning to you both,you have just a beautiful garden and you are my idol for my small garden(60qm) but many tips from you.............................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germanyand give sweet Patsy a big hug from me☘☘☘

Good morning, Colette, We are so disconnected from nature now, it is so sad to see. Bealtaine always brings hope and inspiration. So lovely to hear the birds song and how wonderful and atmospheric in the twilight Bealtaine is.Enjoy the rest of your day, both of you! Blessings to you and little Patsy ❤❤

I love how green everything is there. It’s just starting to turn green here. 🙂

Colette, you are my hero. I hope to one day have a plot of land . The birds certainly enjoy it. Just grand ❤

It was so interesting to hear that Ireland was once so wooded that a squirrel would never have to touch the ground. The same exact thing is said about our eastern part of the US. I'm out here in the plains of western South Dakota, where it's difficult to get trees established with our drought cycles and extreme weather conditions. My dad was a tree lover and planted numerous shelter belts around our homestead and won Conservation awards for doing so. It's my dream to have a garden property as beautiful as yours, some day. Claude Barr wrote the book on growing gardens in our area and taught how to create microclimates to do so. We live on 10 acres out on the prairie and are finally getting enough outbuildings and wooden fences to actually protect our plants. It's my dream to have Quaking Aspens, Russian Olives, and Cottonwoods and whatever else will grow. You keep me excited for my dreams. ❤❤

Love that London’s pride, what a charming plant! 🤍

Wow Colette, I never knew that Ireland used to be so full of woodland! What a beautiful thought, and thank you for your restoration. xx

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and woodland. ❤❤❤

You have created a paradise...just watching your videos is so uplifting And gives inspiration ..not even on that scale but whatever one can create in their own space..

Hiya Colette Thankyou for the visit. Looking forward to the celebrations in May. Blessings Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

This is the most powerful meanings energy and very energise that ones can do and create such a beauty & full of life what has been built with lots of love been put into such wonderful beginnings and still growing & learning ❤

Just had my Sweet Bay cut way back to twigs & branches and know it will grow bushy by Summer💚🍀🤗

How lovely, thank you for sharing your garden, cottage and life so generously. I could sit by your fire in complete contentment, still tuning to the garden and its life outside. And May is my birth month. Would that I could have such a home for myself and my plant companions one day. Blessings to you and Daisy!

Oh to have one bay tree let alone a few of them! They don't grow in my zone. You are blessed by the Mother.

I am glad you finally have ads. you put so much work into videos for us you should be compensated.

❤looking forward to watching this later on,I'll put my feet up,make myself a nice cup of tea....and enjoy your lovely video🎉

I've enjoyed reading all these comments. Such nice people on this channel.

❤❤❤❤❤Happy Spring to you and Pasty Ms Colette ❤ 💕 💖 💓

Love the Rhubarb , yes do agree there is a veil between Earth , the Universe and us Thank you for your marvelous films of Bealtaine Cottage Mary Canada 🍁

You are so inspiring, Colette and you have been one of my heroes since I discovered you back in 2017!! Thank you for sharing and all you do for Mother Earth 🙏🏽💕🌎.

A beautiful video as usual, and give a pet on the head of Patsy-"The Little Explorer"🐶☘

Your cottage grounds is looking fantastic. Hard work pays off.

I stand in awe. This touched my heart, total admiration.

Yesterday I did a "Colette"! I was in my yard pruning, planting and moving things around. I was getting ready to throw away the small branches I pruned when I thought of you. I put those cutting in a container. Today it is raining. This will be interesting to see those cuttings grow. This plant is called "Red Baja Fairy Duster". I currently have two. It would be great to have a couple of more.

Yes Collette, we live in an outpost of the European Rainforest - but without the forest. Or many of the creatures we are supposed to have alongside us. 😪

Very powerful, look forward to the 20-year celebration.

Love the video, your cottage is stunning! I’ve just got my own place on 3 acres in Roscommon and hopefully one day it’ll be half as nice as your place! I also refer to my doggy as we because it’s our place and what we’re doing 😂 another lovely video best wishes ❤

Your cottage and garden looks so calm , both of them are lovely 👍

so much agreed blessed be colette ..overgrow overshare overcare overseed everywhere worldwide..high patsy cheers all stay safe..

Thanks for the constant inspiration and hard work you have done to replant the land! You are awesome!❤

😊beautiful beautiful beautiful😊

This was simply wonderful, inspiring, and peaceful. Thank you.

Thank you Colette for beautiful video & words 🌼. Regards. Rose

Thank you for this post and introducing London Pride. You may have just solved an issue we've been discussing. We are looking for a prolific, low growing plant to fill in a hillside, so my husband can stop mowing it and let nature take over. Thank you! Many blessings.

Exquisite timing, Collette! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and brilliant surroundings to inspire us 🙏💚✨️

I was sitting on the couch enjoying your inspiring, beautiful video. Watching you transplant your flowers made me jump up and venture out to do the same. I saved a few seeds from an old persimmons tree from the local park, and after planting them in a pot in January, the seedlings were now ready to be transplanted. I will need to find homes for them. They grow slowly and take a few years to bear fruit. At close to 80 years of age, who knows if we will ever be able to enjoy any of them. But is it ever fun to see them grow. Thanks for your inspiration, dear Colette❤

Just love that tri pod and fire 🔥 pit. So lovely to cook outside!

Wise, sage thoughts today re: the veil!

Oh, the beautiful Bealtaine blossoms. So delightful to see everything starting to wake up. Thank you for sharing Colette. Much love and respect to you and Patsy girl. Lifting that veil in a valley somewhere in Wisconsin USA. 💚

Good Morning Collette and Patsy! Such a big stretch Patsy!

Such a beautiful cottage and garden!

At this time of the year, when everything is still dormant here (usually under snow, but not this year), the videos of your land, flowers and your work around the property, are very uplifting and give me a boost to start sowing flowers. It reminds me that it will look like that in a month or so. Brings joy. 🙏

We can all make a difference planting trees even if we live in the suburbs. I’m thankful our street of neighbors have a small lake behind us even thought we can now see houses thru the trees on the other side instead of a dense forest. So much land in the U.S. is being bought up by money hungry contractors crowding in as many homes as they can build. So sad. The world is changing.

The woodlands are so beautiful and peaceful and it’s all because of your hard work. The sounds in the woodlands are so peaceful and soothing. Patsy is such a sweet little girl!!!🤗

I adore your cottage and gardens.

Your presence on the land where you live, and what you've created there over the last 20 years, is a deep blessing. ❤️

It is always a great to see that you've posted a new video. The ads don't bother me and don't last long anyway! I love your wandering around and doing your tasks with your little helper Patsy. Enjoy your weekend. We are having sunshine in Western Oregon and it may get to 71degrees which is a little but scary since we are likely to have another cold spell before the REAL spring arrives. Still, I am planting up primroses and bought another Meyer Lemon tree for my patio, and my hyacinths, also in pots, are delightful. Loved all your birds in video. 💙🌷🌷

You are such an inspiration to me. Love your garden and how you live your values..

I loved the comment about "we". I've lived alone for many years too, but always used "we" because I had animal companions! Yet a few people questioned me about that. Besides, I always felt that my house when I had it was a living entity. We gave so much to each other!

I live vicariously thru your gardens. Here in Durham, NC, US of A, we have hot dry summers with up and down winters. Spring brings out blossoms early to greet a late killing frost. You have so many wonderful plants we can’t grow. Thank you for my escape into paradise.

Humanity is under a spell!!! WE have amnesia and have forgotten our origin and cut off from nature.🌳🌵🌹

Gosh Colette 😮 20 years ! Listening to the bird even song and seeing the vibrant life in all forms on you small piece of land underscores how much life can be sustained in a small area - and how we have lost so many species and biodiversity with the “development “ of the land for our purposes and convenience only

💚 🙏 beautiful thank you, love from our house 🐾

Though I think I am very much connected to nature, loving her, working with and in her, I often still feel a distance and not being connected. So yes, I agree to what you said about the veil.

It's all looking so spring like there it's definitely ahead of here in Surrey 😊 such a tonic and a wonderful feeling this time of year. A sense of promise for the seasons ahead. You are so right about love for Mother Earth thank you for sharing this blessings to you Colette x

Hi, the awakening is magical, with a riot of shades of green. pink, and yellow. thank you for sharing your amazing journey. If you dream it it will happen. 🌷🌱🌼🌱 🐸 Jersey Ann from NJ in the USA

Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with us. My cats and I are too collectively "we".

Good morning sweet Collette, sweet.patsy so.lovely your cottage, w enchanted gardens

So beautiful as always. I appreciate you sharing it with us so very much!

Hi Colette ❤ have a lovely weekend. Sun shining in Galway this morning x

That London pride is just beautiful! I do this with my autumn joy sedum, making new pots all over the garden. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Hi Colette, what Joy and pleasure you have created over 20 year's not just for you but for the many people that follow you 😊 you are an inspiration to us all . Thankyou for sharing it all with us ❤❤❤

Of course there are two of you! Patsy is a very important member I your family. ♥️🤗

To have a Doggy Friend whitin your life is for sure a We........we the two girls with passion for nature and well being. Wish you both a beautiful weekend and all goods from Belgium.

Everything looks so beautiful, alive and happy.For the past two days here, it has been incredibly windy! Too windy to work outside. The weather extremes are crazy these days! I am looking forward to planting this spring. Last year I couldn't due to foot surgery. Doc still doesn't want me to use a shovel, but I think I will just dig with the opposite foot. When will they ever realize that you can't keep a gardening woman down too long, or we will find a way!😂 have a blessed day and give our girl a hug for me.❤

I also say 'we' including my fur kids in conversations about my day.

In watching your videos, I always learn something. Your Spiritual wisdom, and your connection with Mother Earth. Thank you. 🦋 As your Spring arrives, so does Autumn, for my side of Mother Earth. 🍃

Wonderful Colette, Thankyou! X🇬🇧🥰

I love you!

Love the birdsong so much 💕

A truly inspiring and calming video. Chilly greets from an Aussie in North Yorkshire who is planting many seeds and potting out in my garden now ❤

Thanks for sharing your beautiful place . It’s so relaxing listing to you talk .

not only change it but 100% for the better, you my dear are one of a kind and I thank you !!
