Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea
I have fallen in love with Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea this summer. It sits on a slope that is being slowly planted and is providing such a beautiful pop of colorful joy. There are three colors ranging from red, deep pink and yellow but this gorgeous pink bloom caught my eye so I carefully clipped it and brought it into my…

4th of July in Nebraska
Going to Nebraska for the 4th of July has become a tradition for my family. We enjoy getting the “good” fireworks and just having a fun time on the farm for a couple of days. One of my favorite things to do is to take photos of the fireworks (and my mom’s garden, see below). It can take a few…

Garden Potting Table
My next project with terracotta is transforming our outdoor dining table into a garden potting table. We never sit outside to eat. We love to sit on the deck but all three of us gravitate to the chairs that look out on the garden instead of the table and chairs. So instead of it just sitting there unused, I decided…

Summer Garden Porch Decor
Our little front porch has been neglected for too long. It has needed some attention to make it feel more welcoming not only to guests but also for us to come home to. I have always believed in making a home feel special and a retreat from the world and one way to do that is by using decor to…

Garden Peony
Every morning I walk through my garden, watering pots and checking on plants as I go. This time of year the garden changes fairly quickly. Plants growing and new flowers opening up daily it seems. The peonies have finally started to open up and as I was checking on how many there were, this bloom caught my eye. So I…

Small Potted Herb Garden
May is all about getting back into the garden. This is going to be the 5th growing season in this garden and I am so thrilled with how this unique multi-level garden is turning out. There is always lots to do but there is also always something different I want to try each year. This year I wanted to try…

Letting Go of a Dream
What have I been doing? Letting go of a dream. Many times in my life a change starts to happen. My dreams for my photography is changing. What once felt so incredibly important and I thought of and worked toward every single day is no longer the case. After a lot of time reflecting and going through several years of…

A Robin’s Nest
We found this abandoned robins nest dangling from one of our juniper trees this spring. At first we decided to carefully place it back into the tree but then a few days later I found it dangling again. I was so inspired by its beauty I decided to place it in a shoebox and keep it. The robin that made…
