Ashtree Honeybee









Southern California native with a wild wolf heart. I feel most alive in the garden, cooking up delicious meals in the kitchen, or in bed with a good book and my man bear. Explorer of the mind, adventurer of the soul. I enjoy camera clicks, homemade goods, baby giggles, and open country.
*All photos by me, unless otherwise noted.




planting cantaloupe seeds, snow angels in the sheets, good books to read, keeping appointments, tracking time, learning the fight.

hello friends. it’s been awhile, but life has me too busy to slow down and keep up with the blogging world. full-time work and school are enough to keep my daylight hours on a strict schedule. the addition of a garden and rats (above is a picture of some goodies i’ve made for their cage, below are some goodies from the yard), not to mention a home to keep up with has me up to my ears in to-do lists. this is how i thrive and function best though, and as time passes i am learning to process the emotional ups and downs that often come with being overwhelmed by the volume of activity and responsibility i’m handling at once. 
growing up seems to happen in bursts and for me this year has been a bright firework in the sky.

the drive to LA two weeks in a row. crowded in a van, california love blasting on the stereo, green room interviews and diner food. this powerful beat, the love between we.










Life is beautifully, mysteriously, graciously unfolding. Love life, school life, work life, all are flowing with serendipity. Each day is a lesson, every moment an opportunity for expansion and growth. It feels like settling down, growing up.

I’ve been talking about it for so long…and today my rat dreams came true. Meet Mozee and Tanzee! Named in honor of where these amazing rats are working. They are such sweet, friendly girls and I am so happy to be a rat mama again!

A slow procession

Lots of things buzzing in my neck of the woods. Exciting updates to come! For now, enjoy some photos I snapped this past week on my sweet yellow beauty.
