rhythm of the seasons










we are truly enjoying the long days of summer. we harvested the first tomato & cantaloupe from our garden. i am so proud of the herbs we started from tiny seeds. they are growing just enough for making pesto & drying for the winter months ahead. we made our first batch of pickles & have been blessed with cool mornings. cool enough for a bit of weeding & tending to the flowers.

i am finding that this space, my writing & most of my photographs reflect the rhythm of the seasons. as i grow into who i am, i feel myself also growing closer to nature, its landscapes, patterns & life. i’ve been searching recently for a new form for my blog to take. after almost three years of writing & changing radically as a person throughout, i do believe that my path is leading toward one that is sustainable & reflective of the seasons. i want to focus on the food we grow & eat, the choices we make in our home & the ease of simpler living.

if you have suggestions on how to improve this space or things you really enjoy about my blog, please do let me know. i know that i am so encouraged by your ideas & am thankful for the relationships that have flourished throughout this process.

love,

natalie
