Violet and Oliver

Violet & Oliver, that sounds like a brand name. Or a cartoon - The Adventures of Violet and Oliver.

Adventures they will certainly go.

30 Things - 7/30

What is your dream job, and why? Short answer: Pumpkin patch owner/farmer/homesteader/botanical store owner. Long answer: To have a lot of land that I work hard on. I will have a pumpkin patch in the fall, complete with hay rides, bonfires, and a cafe for visitors. The rest of the year I will make handmade goods to sell locally.

Gardening - There's just something about digging in some dirt and getting dirty to make something beautiful. It feels elemental. It's a sensory experience that connects me to a primal state. It's guaranteed to put me in a good mood 3. Photography - I take photos because I have a desire to distill precious memories and because, quite honestly, I think photographs are important. They are our legacy. Most photographs outlive the people in them. I photograph what is important to me and it makes me happy to share the things that I find beautiful with others. 4. Music - I struggled to pick either reading or music for this one. Music prevails because I've been doing a lot of listening lately. Most of the time i...
