Menorah + Blossoms

It's a beautiful time of year and I decided to have some fun with it. I can't resist Spring weather or the smell of the apples blossoms and the lilacs so I set up a lovely little nook for some Bible study. It was a fun change of pace and so refreshing. There's nothing like reading in the sunshine.

Life Lately: Summer

In the summertime I spend as much time outside as possible. Where I live this weather is too precious to pass up, so I fill my days with as much time in the garden, bike rides, swimming at the lake, shopping at the farmers market, and reading in the hammock as possible.

This lake is so peaceful to me. I'll take all the time in, on, and by it that I can.

There seems to be a growing consensus in the Hebrew community of local, organic eating. Summertime includes growing fresh vegetables, farmers market visits, and putting it all away for later.

Fresh air and fresh perspective.

Can you even? This gorgeous view is of Lake Michigan from Sleeping Bear Dunes. So much beauty there.

On the seashore.

Recently I heard of flower therapy and the medicinal properties of flowers. I'm super intrigued to learn more!

Happy.

Love all the pretty flowers!

So thankful for plenty of berries to freeze this year!

Does anyone have experience using mulch as a weed barrier? I recently watched the Back to Eden documentary and want to hear more.

Hope you are all having a lovely summertime!
