Salvete and welcome to my blog! I am Ellery, the gardener of this wild place. I started my blog as a place to document my life, share my projects, and contemplate the world. It is random, spontaneous, and full of the myriad ideas in my mind.
I am a Christian, homeschooled teen from the beautiful state of Michigan. I live on nine and a half acres with my parents, many siblings, a cat, and 20 or so chickens.






I love learning and education and am particularly interested in history, exercise science, and music.
I love music, particularly musical theatre and piano. My favorite composer is Chopin, and my favorite musicals include Hadestown, Hamilton, Titanic, and Fiddler on the Roof.
I have a great many hobbies, including knitting, watercolors, hair braiding, hand lettering, reading, and exercise.






I pray that my blogging may be to the glory of God alone!
“The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.”
– Psalm 121:7-8
