Feeling the urge to empty all my kitchen cabinets and purge things and rearrange.

Made applesauce muffins allllll on their own today. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Two children in aprons are standing in a kitchen, with one on a step stool, preparing food together.

Something little that makes me happy: tiny bowls to soak nasturtium seeds that match the color of each variety. 😍

Didn’t have matching plates to keep them dark. But it’s still fun to see all the color sitting on the counter.

Packets of nasturtium seeds are arranged above three colorful bowls containing some of the nasturtium seeds soaking in water

Mourning not getting to spend the day outside because even inside I’ve sneezed probably 70 times.

My cousin and her family came to visit us the past few days. So, we decided to do a swamp tour on the Atchafalaya Basin. Had a(n unexpected) private tour on a really beautiful day!

Saw a mama and baby great horned owls, ospreys, and some gators (still a little chilly for a plethora of gators).

Cypress trees in a lake house an osprey nest that a great horned owl took over to raise her baby (that is perched on the bottom branch)A cluster of mostly leafless trees stands in the middle of a large body of water under a clear blue sky. An osprey can be seen flying to the right of the large cluster.An alligator is resting on a muddy bank surrounded by leafless trees near a body of water.

A flock of birds flies over and settles in on leafless trees against a clear blue sky.

Today, I finally sowed some seeds. 🎉
