June was a busy month for us, with lots of activities outside of the house - including a camping trip, visits from Eunice and Val, blueberry picking, birthday parties, our summer kickoff party and a trip to New York - which means we savored moments at home all the more. These are some photos that I captured on my big camera, spontaneously, whenever the thought arose, from such moments.
I am coming off an especially relaxing fourth of July, some of which we spent running errands, but most of which we spent at home. One of our errands including buying seeds to plant, as our way of celebrating America's birthday, and I found both peace and delight in clearing the ground of weeds to make space for new things to grow. The girls were equally enthusiastic and it grounded our sense of home, into the earth that we are surrounded by, as we felt dirt on our hands and between our toes.
July is equally full, but I'm making time for quiet moments around the house, and more moments with my hands in the earth. I'm hoping to finally plant some vegetables to grow, to linger in conversation with my parents who are here, and celebrate all the birthdays coming up with a heart full of gratitude.
