Beauty.

I'm pretty positive it's been a good couple years since i've updated.

which is why I can't give you the scoop on our latest vacation, yet. 

First. A little update on happenings around the Andersons.

1) It's Spring around here!

The Flowers are blooming.

The SUN is out late(er).

& it's just beautiful.

2) We have a Garden.

For the second time in the year that we've been married.

it almost sounds like we grow our own food.

then you take a look at that picture. 

& you're pretty certain we'd starve if we grew our own food.

Ok. so the garden is bigger than three leaves.

But i didn't want to show the whole thing...

well because. Blake dug it with a shovel 

mainly because there was a flat on the 80 year old tiller.

so it's not the biggest or the prettiest looking garden around the edges... for now.

3) I had a day off. 

So we went for a little stroll around the pond!

We only had one ore - so unfortunately Blake had to do all the work.

I'm convinced we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

you can just not comment if you disagree. 

but seriously. I'm in love with where we live & that pond.

There were tons of turtles on logs. 

The cows walking all around us & a couple joining us for a swim.

the lush green grass, with hints of red clover surrounding us.

it was an absolutely magnificent day off work.

I'm so amazed and taken back by the beauty of the earth.

One cannot look at all the wonderful, beautiful creations & deny a Creator.

I'm in love.

with the creations.

I can't I grew up right by this spot & have never taken the time to soak it all in.

There truly is beauty all around us.

in so many forms.

sometimes we have to go out and look for it. 

& sometimes it's surrounding us

 we just have to slow down, open our eyes & see it.
