Plant a garden. Work in the garden. Harvest and eat your own food. I haven’t been able to help out on the farm this semester and I am noticing the difference - both in my mental and physical health.
-
Celebrate the things you love with the people you love. I do this every year on Valentine’s Day, celebrating the day that Oregon became a state in 1859.

Porch time.
-
Play in the snow.
-
Headed home for the holidays and I can’t wait!!!
-
Take pictures of the ordinary.

New outlook, new mission
Inspired by my lack of free time, I’ve decided to compile a visual list of the things I’d like to do when I have a moment, so I’ll remember what to do when that moment comes.
-
Late summer hikes in Oregon.
-
Farm fresh, (actually) free range eggs. They are just so delicious and wonderful in every way. Blessed this last week with a dozen from the farm I work at.

Missing our annual viewing of the Chapman Swifts.
I am Erin Lebow-Skelley, currently living in Carrboro, NC, attending grad school, while also loving and missing Portland and Oregon.
Grad School has reminded me of the little (and sometimes big) things that I enjoy in life - and rarely have time for. When I have a spare moment, I need to be reminded of what those things are. This is my reminder.
