I just can’t get enough of them.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Soon, we’ll be three…
…and I can’t wait.
We did a maternity photoshoot a couple of weeks ago, and I’m so happy to have some wonderful pictures of this time in our lives. Such precious memories, and one day, we’ll be able to share these with Baby Girl.

Found Friday #46: A Frequent Visitor
This little guy seems to come back and visit us every year.
We always see him at his favorite spot on the power lines by our back window. Out of curiosity, I looked up bluebirds, and most of the information I found says that they symbolize joy and hope, and are a sign that good things are just around the corner. Well, I sure hope so! But perhaps it’s enough that this little one makes me smile – a big kindness from so small a creature.
Nature is amazing, y’all.
A Morning Walk in Spring
It’s so gorgeous out today, and I just had to share some pictures that Graham snapped on his morning walk with Annie. (Where was I? Alas, I’m not a morning person, so, still in bed.)
I’m really hoping we get some fruit this year from our apple trees. I doubt we will, but you never know!
I suppose they’re just weeds, but I think they’re lovely.
The Japanese maple looks so vibrant in the morning sunlight.
Perhaps I ought to start waking up earlier, right? This is certainly a lot of color and beauty to miss in the service of sleeping in.
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: The Mid-Week Sleepies
We have them.
But the weather is gorgeous and warm, there’s trivia tonight at one of our favorite places, and, for Merlin and Annie, there are plenty of soft, sunny spots to take a nap.
Wednesdays aren’t so bad after all, are they?
The Redbud’s Blooming!
It feels like it happened overnight, and now here we are!
Redbud trees are my favorite. They’re native to the area, and I think every bit as lovely as cherry blossoms. To me, it’s not spring until the redbud trees bloom.
There’s actually a small festival near the town where I grew up. I’ve never attended, despite living so close for so long, and perhaps one of these days I should change that.
But for now, I’ll enjoy this beauty from the comfort of my favorite writing chair.
Apple Blossom Friday
I love snow in winter, but there’s nothing quite like watching things come alive again in spring.
Maybe we’ll even get some apples from our orchard this year! But even if not, just seeing the blossoms makes me smile.
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Almost Redbud Season
If you’ve been reading for a while, you probably know that redbud blossoms are my favorite and, well, we’re just about there!
I’ve loved redbud trees for as long as I can remember, and every spring, I’m just so happy when they bloom. Won’t be long now!
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Iceland Memories
It’s hard to believe that it’s been four years (FOUR YEARS!) since the last time we traveled internationally. And man, what a trip. Iceland was beautiful.
These pictures were taken on March 15, 2019.
I’d love to go back in the summer, since there was a lot we couldn’t see or do in winter. Maybe one of these days. In the meantime, I’ve got pretty pictures and good memories.
Friday Flowers
It’s rainy today, and cloudy and gray and damp and definitely early spring. But yesterday was beautiful, not particularly warm, but sunny. How nice it was, then, to stumble upon these little beauties in our back garden.
And how lovely, looking at them now, to remember that flowers – like days, people, cats, dogs, and old houses – aren’t all the same.
