i didn’t get back here on monday. or tuesday.

i didn’t get back here on monday like i promised. or even tuesday. now it is wednesday & all i have is a pretty photo of flowers. at least it is {unofficial flowers week}, right?
my weekend was {busy} & this weekend will be even crazier. a mix of work, a wedding, a graduation party, & guests staying at our tiny tree house.
it’ll be an adventure & i thrive on chaos. so it’s all good.
i’ve got nothin’ to say. 
classes are coming to a close. we’re working in the garden most evenings.
what’s going on with you? let me know. 
love,
natalie

{this moment} vi.

last week’s {this moment}
——————
i am heading out for the weekend. 
my {best friend} is coming to town!
but before i go… just a few thoughts/bits of inspiration:
+ i purchased {this} with some birthday money & i am so excited! shanna’s work is always so incredibly beautiful.
+ i am slowly getting over my second case of pneumonia. i ranted about it {here}. i still feel a bit weak & my sinuses are not giving in!
+ this {table} is so dreamy. the color has me thinking about painting bits of furniture in our home.
+ {k} + i made some {granola} last night. such a great recipe! i plan on munching on it throughout the weekend & adding fresh fruit & yogurt.
i’ll see you all on monday!
love,
natalie

what gives me peace.

more than anything…
more than reading outside…
or having coffee by myself…
or knitting a few rows…
or taking my bicycle for a stroll…
or even baking a dozen cookies…


what puts my heart & mind at ease is digging into the dirt, planting little seedlings, pulling out weeds, shoveling compost…


listening to the birds chirp, feeling the cool breeze on my back, conversing with my husband as we prepare another bed…

i am finding that i know myself a bit more with each day in our garden, with each shovel full of mulch & every row of turnips planted. the little successes & the many failures are worth it because we’re learning, we’re stretching ourselves, we’re growing.

love,
natalie
