Video: Spain Bird Migration
Stopped for gas on the way to Barcelona to find the station surrounded by thousands of birds.
Spirit Animal
She came running full speed out of the woods and down the hill—and made straight for us.
Baby Moccasin Booties
Since the news came that my sister is having a baby, I’ve finally been moved to taking my knitting skills to the next level. I learned the basics in college, but never really got the hang of reading patterns or doing much more than going…
Hazel visits
We got to spend a few lovely days with Miss Hazel while Ashley and Andreas were in Spain. Check out the beautiful photos Ashley took of Granada and Malaga while they were gone!
