Just a few moments of enforced quiet. It leads me to prayerfulness and contemplation. I find my moments are all lined up one after the other. Orderly, and yet not rushed or overly busy.
Puts me in a mind to start planning a spring garden. Not because I’m not enjoying this season, but because when spring rolls in it will be too late. Nothing more hopeful and giddy than planning a garden whilst wearing slippers and sipping hot cocoa.




What are your outdoor/spring garden plans? I would love to hear what you all’s plans are and what types of vegetables, berries, and flowers you adore come warmer weather.
I haven’t really been carrying my camera around much lately. I don’t know what to call it. Burnout? Not really, because I’m not sure I have ever loved doing anything so much as I have loved learning to make photographs.

Maybe it’s stress, and a bunch seems to have descended upon us lately, that is making it hard to relax enough to enjoy the process. My very hard-working husband has been working an extra job lately to help make ends meet as he strategizes to take his own entrepreneurial endeavor to the next level. That means lots of hours here at home, within these four walls, getting to know one another again outside the realm of running crazy. If we want to go somewhere we have to take our bicycles. Which could very well make me crazy, but could just as well help me finally unplug.
Sometimes, it’s just so plain hard to relax.
When you begin to not be able to sleep and you spontaneously start weeping as you are mowing the lawn, it might be a sign you have been pushing too hard. Ya think?
So, in the next few days I will be rediscovering my camera and posting some pictures each day for a month. Won’t be saying much, just posting pics. I might call it “daily calm” or “unplugged” or something like that. Literally 30 days of Camera-cation. Ha. I made that up all on my own. Camera-cation. Kinda like a “vacation” with your “camera”. Get it?
Ok, sorry.
Just a daily view from my seat. Which I promise will not be one of a mower.
