All this blog silence for the past however many weeks now has been the result of life being peacefully packed.

Last month, Danny and I went to Spain. Eventually, I’ll blog pictures of that (amazing, wonderful, gorgeous, delicious, exciting, and every-fun-adjective) trip. Since we came home, I’ve been keeping consistent work hours, Bible study hours, journaling hours — basically, getting a lot done in quiet, productive solitude, and just soaking in spring with the windows wide open.

As I did a couple years ago, today I got the wild idea that in spite of my black thumb, I needed a colorful front entryway. So I went out and bought some flowers and herbs and got my hands dirty. We’ll see how long my little potted garden lasts this time. For now, I’m enjoying it, just like I’ve been enjoying this slower season of life.

But there will be new portrait sessions finally hitting the blog starting later this week. And maybe, if these flowers and herbs survive, another garden update later on this spring.
