…then if ever come perfect days….

My grandmother wrote me a letter the day that I was born, and it began just as above. Grandmothers always know just what to say…

As I turned 28 this week, I couldn’t help but reflect on the beauty that is life–and not just life, but my life. I am surrounded by the loveliest of things. This birthday was blessed on many levels, but one of the prettiest things about the day was a birthday bouquet from Jason. I snapped a few photos of it to capture the blossoms at their peak…then got camera happy around the house and yard this weekend so as to capture all of the lovelies that are blooming around me this June. What a visual feast! Enjoy…
