Augury With Birds Notes 🕊🌻

Ecological wooden elder futhark runes by MissivetoBears

Cottagecore: Sound

The tea kettle whistling in the silent morning air.

The fire crackling in the stove while you snuggle up in your favorite chair.

Leaves rustling together in autumn, whispering their secrets into every breeze.

The screen door opening when your friends come to visit- the anticipation before the knock.

That one squeaky rocking chair that always manages to be the most comfortable.

Picking out individual calls in the birdsong that starts in the nearby forest every morning.

The bees buzzing by as you work in your garden. They came to say hello!

The sound of a hammer against a wooden fencepost, echoing down the dirt road.

The babbling of the stream where you eat your packed lunch.

Your partner (or best friend) humming from the next room.
