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!

Until today! Most of the lambs were arm’s length away from us when…

  • Update on silkworms: fruitless Mulberry leaves found

    This is crazy! Our community trees are fruitless Mulberries. This whole time, like 11 years, we’ve been seeing them everyday. 😂 Now we know what kind of trees they are. Lol. Shaking my head… so silly. Thank you, everyone, for your comments, suggestions, and offers to help send the leaves to us. Appreciate you all!!
