This is the poetic record of an interlude in the author's life: a time of change and transition, when fresh eyes and an open heart were of great importance. It is a memoir of the sights, sounds, scents and thoughts she found on a country hillside in 2019 and 2020. A delight in words and in a wide range of poetic forms transforms these momentary glimpses into a vision that can be shared and enjoyed by others. While it contains an ongoing account of the author's own thoughts and feelings, it is primarily a diary of the scenes around her. The wind and weather, snowflakes and wildflowers, the tiny creatures of grasses and trees, and occasionally the larger creatures of the pastures are the main protagonists. All of this means that it is a very personal record of a very particular place over a single passing of seasons.This ephemeral viewpoint is intrinsic to the nature of this collection. It is an invitation to live through a succession of seasons with the author on her hillside, sometimes green, sometimes white, sometimes brown, but always just there as the wind blew or the sun shone.
