These violet beauties just popped up seemingly overnight and I can’t stop taking the time to stop and appreciate them.

I keep trying to take photos of something other than sunsets but I can’t help myself. Dramatic lighting transforms the most pedestrian of views into something spectacular.

All of my D&D characters get “trophies” so I spent the afternoon painting their minis. They’re a small accomplishment (literally) but it feels so good to be doing something creative again.

I am thankful to be in this special place, at this special time, with these special people.

Still testing positive but my overall health has improved massively over the past couple of days. Fevers are gone, I’m breathing through my nose again, and I’m thankful I never lost my smell or taste because earl grey has been my best friend throughout this thing.

Summer continues to bloom and reminding me to stop and smell it.

This summer we learned there are some serious gardeners investing their talents into the entrances of our neighborhood. The roses in particular have been amazing to witness.

Tonight I discovered the robins were enjoying the sunset along with me.

This tree is a little too excited about spring.

The spring colors are just incredible up in the Midwest.

A fantastic reward for making it through all the rainy, gloomy days.

I love watching the seasons change around this greenhouse.
