home and already overwhelmed with how much i love this place

in so many ways i am missing oxford. but for now i am swooning in my mountain desert.

the wild flowers are out like never before thanks to a wet spring and summer,

the farmers' markets are overflowing with heirloom tomatoes and fresh honey butter,

our calendar is quickly filling up with hiking, camping, and cabin-going,

we are thrilled to see friends and family and want a dinner party every night

and a lunch date every afternoon to catch up with everyone.

can't wait to start teaching yoga, teaching piano {yay! more on that later}, and reading and writing

whatever and whenever i feel like it {which is kind of all the time}.

this will always be home, and what a comfort it is.

i'll be spending some time sorting through the hundreds of photos we took

over the past couple of weeks as we traveled through the english countryside

and explored the big city of london. 

very excited to show you what we've been up to, starting tomorrow.
