Silly Phoebe Jane at the Black Iris Farm.
Walking home from church on Sunday with Wren Sabina the Fairy. I love this little path near our house. A little neighborhood treasure.
One of our favorite spring traditions is a visit to the Black Iris Farm just west of Traverse City. It is one of my happy places. It’s so relaxing and inspiring out there amidst the colors and the smells. The breeze was blowing and the lombardy poplar trees were dancing.

I realized as I was looking at pictures from three years ago that Phoebe wore the same little green jacket that Wren wore while running through the iris rows. Time! Easy there.
I’ve never seen the iris farm quite as vibrant and fragrant as last night. We cut some flowers to take home, had a picnic, got dusty and explored. Took a few pictures too…
See you next year, beautiful iris farm! We love you.
Our amazing Wren Sabina turned five a couple of weeks ago. A whole hand! In some ways it feels like she was just born because that time is still so fresh and magical in my mind and heart, but in other ways I can vaguely remember my life without her presence. Time is so strange, isn’t it?
I’m so proud of the person she’s becoming. In her own words, “this is going to be a big year. I’m going to read, ride my bike and swim.” She’s going to “rock it,” as Wren likes to say. And she certainly will. She is strong, feisty, funny, beautiful, determined, graceful, brave, and smart as a whip. That’s my girl.
Happy birthday, my darling daughter!

The little birdie is getting very adventurous!
Birdies together. And we weren’t sure if we’d see the grass again after this winter…

Oh my, the time has gotten away from me again. Please excuse the multiple weekly portrait posts!
A couple of morning portraits. Sleepy birdies on the porch.
