Do You Miss Me??

Wait…don’t answer…unless, of course, you do! I’m not going to assume you’ve noticed, but I haven’t posted in such a long time. I’ve missed the writing. It’s my way of quieting my mind and processing life in a way that documents moments and struggles and growth so I’ll always remember. Life has truly sprung forth with Spring, and I just haven’t been able to slow down long enough to scribble it down. Farm chores are in full swing! Six pigs arrived this month and we are super excited to offer pastured raised pork to more people this year. We’ve doubled our clutch of chickens, and we even have two goats we rescued. In addition to all that farm fun, we are excited to be hosting a wedding here at our place for some sweet friends of ours. They marry in a week and we are using this special occasion to motivate us to complete several projects and beautification attempts! We will exhale soon and very soon….

In the meantime, I invite you to come peek at some glimpses of our life over on Instagram (@environmentsofgrace). I’m not so quiet over there because it’s quick and easy to post a picture and share what we’re up to or express one of my many deep thoughts! Plus I’m meeting some super cool people in that web of a place. There is inspiration and encouragement and truth and beauty and real life shining through pictures of people I’ve never even met. I’m humbled at the way God can use all things — even distracting social media — to bless his people and bring Him glory.

Here’s a few pictures from the past month. I hope you’re enjoying the sun and green and warmth! We’re loving it so much we don’t even want to be inside. Which is great….until you actually do go inside and realize you haven’t cleaned or dusted or vacuumed or mopped in a reeeaaally long time!
