It’s my Birthday! Never been much for celebrating Birthdays. But, I have my people around me, and that’s all I could ask for. Started my day in the garden at 7am, Got my steps in, played outside with the kids, had some many good laughs with their big little personalities and on this almost Full Moon… this Leo is howling into the night.. Sweet Dreams friends!

Summer is going by too fast.. slow down please!! My favorite time of the year.. I’m going to have to move down south because I can’t deal with another winter..

Got a lot done today in my garden, went on a short walk with my kiddos (even though my 9 year old son fought against it- he enjoyed it after all.) And then went on a long walk on the trails for my sanity. Today was a good day.

I’ve been working on my garden since I’ve been trying to rest some SI issues. It’s coming along nicely. Seven tomato plants: cherry tomato’s and four slicer tomato’s. A pineapple from the top of an eaten pineapple. A celery I’m trying from planting the bottom cut from the stalk, baby beets, broccoli, spinach, Swiss chard. A strawberry plant. Hot Thai pepper plant that my 8 year old son chose, he doesn’t eat peppers so I haven’t an idea why. A ton of squash that came from the seeds of an acorn squash I bought and baked. And of course cucumbers. Attempting compost for first time as well. I think it’s coming along nicely. It’s not pretty, but everything here I repurposed from trashed materials. So to me, it’s beautiful.
