The lilacs were blooming in May, joyfully spreading their scent to all who passed by.

I was grateful to be able admire their beauty and celebrate spring with an outing in Sophie, my trusty 1861 twisted stripe cotton print dress. I made this dress in 2016 and posted about the construction in this past post.
The overcast sky didn’t dampen my spirits!
The diffused light was actually quite lovely and I enjoyed whirling around in the fresh air.
I hope your springtime held unexpected joy, as well!

Dear Quinn,
The troubled sky actually sets off the joy of spinning in a cheerful and pretty dress into a gorgeous pastoral landscape. They’re worthy of making into a painting, I think!
I love May too. It’s dreamy…
Very best,
Natalie in hot-summer Kentucky
Hi Natalie! I love how you described the images… spinning into a gorgeous pastoral landscape… lovely! 🙂 Thank you for the painting idea! I hope your hot summer is full of joy!
Thank you very much!
Summer goes too quickly…
Natalie
Oh my! You look like I imagine Jo March looked like in LITTLE WOMEN!
Thank you, Margaret! That is lovely!
Fun fact, they filmed part of the most recent Little Women movie on the hill in the background of these images!
