a new beginning

When I was about twelve, a wave of my siblings and friends started blogs and abandoned them three days later. But somehow, after the trend had completely died away, my own little Quest for Inner Beauty lingered. It wasn't diligence that drew me back to it, but some inner suitedness; here was a place for my random pictures of life, and a quiet little voice for the writer in me. So I continued my Quest more or less faithfully for the next several years, and it grew up with me. But almost a year ago, I wrote about my homeschool graduation ... and that came to be the last post.

It was fitting, I finally realized. April 2015 was the end of high school, the end of a season. In May, I plunged into the work of getting an old house ready for my new husband and me to move into, June was a whirl of wedding preparations, and early in July I married him. Life has been so completely different since that the thought of going back to Quest for Inner Beauty has been strange and somehow wrong. At the same time ... I'm still a writer. Pictures still pile up on my SD card. And the little circle of family and friends who read my blog tell me they'd still like to catch up with me through my blog-art.

So this is the beginning of the Caylor Chronicles, which I intend to fill with pictures of chickens, sunsets, dogs, cats, Dillon, baby clothes, and food. Oh, and other people, from the few days I actually leave our peaceful old house. My life is changing and developing very quickly, and is so full of God's grace. I look forward to sharing it here.
