…growing by the sea. Oh, we are having such a summer. I don’t care if it never, ever ends. Taking trips to the ocean is one of my favorite things to do so far. And we found a new spot! So peaceful and inspiring. I snuck away for some alone time while my husband and …

september’s end
Oatmeal cardigans and apple picking. Windowpanes and golden light. Waking up to the sound of the crows caw. The smell of nutmeg, clove and cinnamon filters through our rooms, apple pies baking with crispy, sugar topped crust. Days spent at the park with my little guy, swinging… giggling… taking dreamy walks. First steps and leaf …
Something I have been meaning to share for some time now…..
Beardtongue flowers (part of the foxglove family, growing wild in a meadow) and the full moon last night from my studio window.

Took a walk round and round the pond at my favorite outdoor spot. Then it rained! A bit of calm before the storm, stream-side …
March into April…
Already? I happily lost track of time. My computer has been in a perm “off” mode. Living and loving the outdoors. And this We saw Joanna Newsom at Town Hall. Surprisingly she was only playing one show in New York City, and somehow we managed to be seated front row. The show was breathtaking, an …
these are a few of my favorite things
Inspired by a recent and very beautiful post by Encore Petite I would like to share some things that make me happy. First, I must honor the real essence of life that makes me happy- my husband, my kitty (and the presence of all animals for that matter), creating art, tea and time spent with …
