Around Here

  

Around here, spring is springing.  Little pops of green shooting up from the ground…sprouting out from bare branches.  Daffodils are bobbing their happy yellow heads.  And oh what a joy it is to see!

Around here, I have taken approximately 1,482 photos of my peach tree in bloom.

Around here, we are in spring garden mode.  This past weekend Tripp and I turned over our veggie garden and added some soil amendments.  In my neck of the woods we can start planting cool season veggies like lettuce, carrots and peas (oh my!).  This also means that we have become permanent Saturday morning fixtures at Home Depot.

Around here, I think mornings my be favorite right now.  I love how the sunshine comes over the tops of the houses in my neighborhood and makes all of the blossoms twinkle in the sunlight

Around here, I am taking every available opportunity to be outside and soak up every blessed minute of extra sunshine we are getting.  Longer days = happier Kelly.

Around here, I am finding my way back to myself…like the fog is starting to lift.  I thank spring for much of that.  For life and light and growth and flowers.  And I thank you for that.  For your kind words of support and encouragement.

Happy Friday my friends!

Love, Kelly

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
