30 Things - 5/30

What are five things that make you happy right now? 1. Violet Eliza - Her energy dissipates the stagnant air that most adults leave hanging around. She keeps me grounded and focused on the little things that I often neglect. She's a special source of joy. 3. 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.

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. Soaps, breads, herbs, clothing, etc... I may even have a storefront with all kinds of weird natural things. Ben would call it a witchy store.
