Last weekend, for our eleventh wedding anniversary, Matt gifted me the weekly backyard journal "Leaf, Cloud, Crow" by Margaret Renkl. I had listened to her book "The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year" and I enjoyed the writing and getting to know the author very much. While I currently read "Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss" I take my time and I hear Margaret's sweet southern voice and keep her easy pace as I go. It's a nice practice for me to slow down and listen to stories.
I'd been struggling with the what and how's of this blog since the beginning. I knew that I wanted to connect with others through my writing, but it wasn't coming to me organically. Then this week, new journal in hand and words on page I realized that I had material to share and I was filled with relief and excitement. So, join me each week as I share my meandering thoughts on what I am noticing here while we garden, re-wild and enjoy what we've created here at our home these last ten years and counting.
