summer of 2026

I’m not gonna lie: this summer has been the opposite of relaxing for me.

But I’ve had an abundance of work opportunities and pet-sitting jobs, which I’m so grateful for. Because of the multiple-week jobs, I was able to save enough money that I shouldn’t have to worry about paying car insurance and taxes next year 🎉

As a small business owner who’s never had a traditional job, it’s always an extra big sigh of relief when I confirm that my work is continuing to financially sustain me.

a busy spring

April and May have been a blur of flowers, birds, hard work, and poison ivy.

As mentioned in a previous post, we’ve been doing some pretty extreme work on our property, so here’s a collection of photos from the last two months.

Mom finally brought the poetry magnets back out, so our fridge is currently full of them

the peace of wild things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

march wrap

Living in New England, I think that March might be the most dramatic month of the whole year.

On the third of March we went “hiking” and ended up clumsily tripping through three feet of snow, but by the end of the month the ground was clear, and flowers were blooming.

You can watch my 60-second March wrap here!

March 3rd, we definitely underestimated how much snow would still be at our local park; watch my spring vlog here!

my 28th birthday

This birthday photoshoot was the last straw for my trusty, twelve-year-old Canon Rebel.

Sure, it was definitely showing signs of its age, and the auto focus no longer worked, but I didn’t know that this would be it!

My camera’s final project 🕊

Let’s rewind for a minute.

I reused my Christmas dress, because 1. I have a washing machine, 2. it looked like the perfect fruity picnic dress, and 3. it’s so cute and I haven’t had a chance to actually wear it anywhere yet

january

I can’t believe that January is already over. I know it drags on endlessly for a lot of people (and I’m often one of those people), but it really seems like it was here and gone this year.

And not only did I succeed in making all twelve monthly wraps last year (you can find the whole playlist of them here), I started all over again for 2026. It’s too much fun to watch the changing year through them all!

I’m happy to report that winter has been very wintery here in New England. Multiple winter storms have arrived, and the last storm we got (Storm Fern) dropped a good 16″ inches on top of us. We now have snow-blown paths winding through the yard leading to all of our important destinations (the barn, the wood shed, the compost, the birdfeeders…).
