Ive suddenly realized that I may be living every cottagecore girls dream. The garden smells of lavender and thyme and the spring flowers are in full bloom. Bliss.

Persephone is helping me write some first drafts today. Miso is out in the bush and will probably return looking much like she did yesterday.
