May 26, 2013

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post to celebrate home. Part 4 coming soon.

We left Missoula on the heels of a snow storm, eyelash-sized buds, newly green grass, and sleepy songy birds. We came home to 12 inch lawn dancing with tufted dandelions, sun-saluting spinach, lilacs making out with bees and open-window weather.

It was awesome to be gone for 15 days and wonderful to come home. We have been home for one week and haven’t touched the piles of luggage. Unpacking is decidedly my least favorite chore on the planet. I would rather clean 100 toilets. So I don’t do it (and apparently nobody else does either) and we just live out of yawned-open suitcases until the job has done itself. Or until I get an 11pm wild hair and knock it out in 20 minutes.

I think the reason I loathe unpacking is because if we have bags to empty it means we are home after having been away. This means I choose to spend my time inhaling my animals and friends, catching up with work (all of your orders shipping within the next week!), reacquainting with my kitchen, investigating our spring-sprung ecosystem and – at this time of year – cartwheeling though my garden exactly like a five year old at Disney World.

We just came home too (after a 4 day raft trip with 4 kids under 4)–I love how quickly gardens grow and grass greens and leaves unfurl when you’re not there watching every millimeter of change. Just like that–poof!–we’re eating out of our backyard.
Love your shots. Home is the best.
And the balsamroot–my favorite; thanks for reminding me to take the girls for a romp.

I do the same thing with suitcases (still have one on the floor of my room too, it’s been 3 weeks) but once I decide to take care of it it’s a quick task I later wonder why I put off so long. It’s always nice to come home…

Right trying them found on My spouse and i had directly very I really been required to purchase them! I have already been driving them regular in the winter time for a couple times specifically and they’re yet still cleaning out due to.

oh! your garden… swooooon!!!

my favorite part about being back at home after a time away is how easy daily life feels compared to travel and such. everything feels so manageable and the fun experiences that were had really fuel creativity and nesting! enjoy your holiday!

beautiful pictures. your feelings towards un-packing are the same for me but folding and putting away clothes period. oh that daunting laundry basket!
are those deer just outside the garden? we just put up an 8 foot fence this weekend to keep them out, do they stay away from your lovely edible goods?

THE DEER ARE RIGHT THERE.

The photos are gorgeous as always, but seeing the deer munching away so close to your garden – phew for that awesome fence 🙂

I am the same way with almost all chores- I get a wild hair to bang them all out fast at the most random hours. My husband calls this “tornado mode.” It scares him 🙂

Beautiful as always! Happy that you are home after a wonderful, long trip.
Received the Boston shirt, and I love love love it. More importantly, my 4 year old love love loves it. Are you making one for OK? if so, I am ordering!
Thank you for the wonderful shirt. Great work!
