the garden


While working in the garden recently, we were reminded of the energizing nature of working with our hands (our very dirty, soil covered hands). The process of furrowing, watering and weeding seems to mirror very well what we are trying to do with our lives. Out with the unnecessary and the distractions. Nurture and tend to what we find most important. Allowing this to become something tangible that we can give to others.

  8. Your videos make me WEEP ~ They are so beautiful. I've featured them a few times on my blog and I can't stop sharing. You make these small things in life so breathtaking. It is exactly how I feel when I cook or bake. Thank you and make more! Do you mind sharing what kind of cameras and software you use to make your videos? I'm determined to try to make one *someday*! xo S
