Both my boys went off to school today and I am embarking on the most uninterrupted work day I've had in about a month. So I celebrated by starting my day with a long quiet walk in the fields with the dog. How amazing is this thistle? I even investigated picking a couple and bringing them inside, but without gloves and clippers there was no way. I am really looking forward to settling into a little bit more of a routine around here. Summer is wild and fun and busy, but I am ready for some quiet days making jewelry. #bittersweet #quietthechaos #theartofslowliving
