Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!
Beautiful gardens Esther. The light pink roses look like heirloom roses as they’re so big and bountiful.

What a lovely and romantic place to get married! Many people come here to take engagement photos, and right now it’s a lot of students taking pictures in their cap and gown.

Hi TD, sorry for the late reply. This is a rose garden in San Jose where roses of all colors and varieties are showcased. It’s a free garden where people come to have picnics and take pictures. Here’s the website: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/2295/2028?npage=9
We visit every year to see the flowers!

TD, I thought the rose garden would have a rosy smell too, but it doesn’t sadly. You have to put your nose right up to the flowers to smell its fragrance. But yes, we feel happy to make a yearly trip out there.
I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Hi Ju-Lyn! We just got back from L.A. and had a full itinerary. It was wonderful, fun, and tiring…all simultaneously.
We’re staying close to home this summer and just regular outings and doing life. That’s fun for us and catching up on doctor’s appointments.

I had a great weekend, thanks, friend! I hope you had a good weekend too. I can’t believe it’s already over and we’re headed into another week. School is almost out for the charter school, but we will continue to homeschool throughout the summer. Do you have different homeschooling plans for the summer?
That lavender purple is so elegant and charming! Great choice in a favorite color.

I was wondering when your charter was out for the summer. I’m working on our summer learning plan… We had a great weekend, and celebrated my youngest turning the big 10-years-old at LEGOLAND!

Happy belated birthday!! It’s the big 2 digits. Hope you guys had a wonderful time celebrating at Legoland!!
Our charter gets out this Friday. It was a long and hectic year with lots of ups and downs, but we are almost there. Ellis and I are on a Little House on the Prairie kick, and Elliot got his own copies of the books too. lol. He’s more of a reluctant fan.

Thank you so much! It’s that time of year when the roses are in full bloom, especially at this rose garden. During the winter, it’s all bare there, but now, it’s roses haven.
