"Most of the dandelions had changed from suns into moons."

The day was wonderful, despite the lows. Started morning early with a walk around the farm with mom, sun peeked over the mountains and raindrops from the night's storm rested so gently on the flowers that you'd have never guessed the chaos they came from. I swung on the little swing we built ourselves and officially started my studies again! (better late than never 🌼)

Got quite some productive work done around the farm, while also taking time to spend with Lily and my cats (who are still adjusting to the shift but thankfully eating and sleeping fine).

The mood got tense at times, as it tends to in some situations, with everyone a little too high-keyed. Thankfully things softened as the day went on. I went on an evening walk after, sat on the swing for a while and let the quiet settle in gently 💚

morning and evening 🌞☁

soft productive days ♡

my brother & i fixed the swing more, it feels much sturdier now. kind of charming too in a patched-together way.

studying (slowly but surely) while swinging softly, with birdsong in background & winds making the leaves all around whistle 🍃

we put new carpet in one of the rooms, it looks very nice!

all the roses are fully in bloom now and they look magnificent! it honestly changes the whole mood of the garden. the clover patch is still there too, still very peaceful to stand in ☘️

feeding the goats as i walk past them is turning into a lovely habit 🐐

the clouds keep returning to the sky in the evenings

everything feels a little more beautiful lately, and i'm so grateful 💚

the art and the muse 💌

Finally at the farmhouse for the spring :) Car ride was crazy because of the cats, but thankfully that was the only stressful part.

Morning felt so beautiful today (always my favorite time of the day). light filtering through the tree leaves, glowing softly on the flowers, grass and clover patches, with the poppies shining like nothing else. I stayed outside for at least an hour just soaking it all in while bees buzzed sweetly around the clover. In between work, sat on the swing for a while, then stayed with Lily, which was even better :D Later in the evening I went back to the swing to enjoy the cool breeze. It was a little too cold but still lovely, with a dove singing in the distance ♡

just trying my best lately. some days i feel grounded, some days i feel like i’m barely holding onto myself. life feels heavy and beautiful at the same time. trying my best not to lose myself while chasing the things i want. still trying, still building habits that keep me afloat. maybe that counts for something.

Two more completed sketch pages (references/inspiration: Pinterest) and yes, I successfully avoided drawing the faces :)

[P.S. photos my mom sent me from the farmhouse ♡]

🌿 mid-month check in #mindfulmay 2026 🌿

halfway through May already, and maybe you're not where you thought you’d be but that’s okay. for me, progress lately has looked more like persistence than perfection ♡

growth is rarely dramatic. sometimes it looks like:

- getting up and moving around anyway

- replying to the messages

- taking a breath before reacting

- trying again after a hard day

we’re figuring it out one day at a time anyway 🌼

make space for: ☕ more presence 🍰 less pressure 🌞 small joys 🌷 softer thoughts

some personal wins i’m celebrating lately:

• completing more pages in sketchbook and annotating Pride & Prejudice

• being productive and getting so much farm work done!

• creating a mindset that helps me move through the whole day efficiently :)

• taking breaks in nature & letting my mind quiet down. my daily morning walks have changed only in the sense that i don't have an allotted time for it but otherwise i walk around the farm a lot

• and more, but i've been so tired lately that i haven't looked over my diary to see them all yet
