It's been especially cold and wet slow spring. But that hasn't dampened my enjoyment of it. Turns out this slow spring is exactly what I was dreaming for.

As I shift from academic writing to video production, I find myself embracing (again) the vulnerability of trying something new and imperfect, drawn by curiosity and the desire to document life as it unfolds. In this post, I share a recent garden tour video and reflect on the balance between living fully and telling the story of that living.

I've got a new video up on YouTube about early spring. Also in this post I reflect on how Spring feels full of nature’s own demands, quite apart from the cultural busyness of school-year endings. With homeschooling and graduate school behind me, I’m leaning more into the natural rhythms of spring, pacing myself through its much-ness without the weight of scholastic rituals.

Now that my Master’s degree is nearly completed I’m returning to YouTube with a renewed focus on creating lifestyle content videos that integrate my daily life, projects, and adventures. With the goal that this will be of interest to other people also and maybe I'll be able to monetize my channel.

I have this insatiable desire to know the names of the trees, the plants and the birds. What a delight it would be to spend my days identifying, loving, and nurturing living things.

This is where I part ways with my Gaelic ancestral heritage and lean into my Nordic Scandinavian roots. I have zero interest in Spring right now. It's just starting feel like honest-to-goodness winter!⁣
