Welcome to the musings of Angie Windheim (that's me!). Writer, photographer, mom to three 20-somethings. Though my nest may be empty, my mothering journey is far from over. It's time to sow the seeds for the next 50 years of my one wild and precious life. My Willamette Valley homestead serves as a playground, sanctuary, studio, and laboratory. Follow this blog if you too obsess over lyrical prose, gardening, and fiery food. Or if you love pics of pretty pups and posies and places. And especially if you believe mothering applies to yourself, the planet, and your people.
