Happy Friday, sweet friends. This week has been filled to the brim with school activities, field trips with Colton, time spent in the garden, and watching snakes slither into the bushes. We've had turtles migrate through our yard and down to the river behind our house. Toads hopping, doing their best to avoid the snakes... Continue Reading →
Goodbye to the most perfect weekend! Cool and sunny on Saturday, lots of rain on Sunday. It felt like the best of both worlds! We are finally settling into the season and I'm so happy about that.

The opening picture is of a chive flower. It's from 2020 but our current chives are full of blooms right now as well. We are still nursing seedlings in the garden and keeping them safe, and I'm looking forward to the moment when they start to bloom like these chives! I feel like I can... Continue Reading →
