A Blessed Morning

On a blessed morning, I'ro will allow me to sleep until 7 am. Today I woke before the sun, 5:30 am. Tail wagging and small nibbling, the puppy let me know that he was ready to get up and go. But, first, I had to do the human business of putting my socks on, brushing …

What are we gonna do, 2022?

Presently, I'm trying to keep everything together. I took a much needed break from most social media for a while. I also took a break from reading and focused more on watching movies and YouTube videos. I wish I could say that it made me feel better and that I am a new person again, …

Hero: An Adjustment.

I am having a rough go of things, y'all. Long story short, I have a dog again. I'ro was the name given to him, but we tweaked that a bit to Hero. And that's what this pup is to me. He's my hero. Because he just keeps going. All day, he loves to run around …

Season One | Drip, drip, drip

Today is the day I try something completely foreign to me: Drip irrigation! It took many a YouTube video for me to actually get on the drip train, but now that I'm here I have the itch to connect everything to a timing system. Y'all, this was so easy once I figured out how everything …

Season One | Lightning & Roses

This evening was one for what I call the almost garden. I think perhaps I need a better name for it. It, meaning the idea that isn't quite an actual thing just yet. I think, for now, I may name the garden project lightning. It is storming as I write this. A beautiful, cooling spring …

deadheading and a potential new friend

I've heard that removing the wilted flowers from a plant will provoke the growing of fresh flowers. I believe the process of culling the old blooms is called deadheading. As I have just planted some new flowers in our front garden, I decided to test this practice. So, at 9 am I made my way …

for the bees | a little garden 🪴🐝

Spring 2021 is finally the season that I feel that I can start planting. I have done so much thinking and overthinking for the last few years, that I've decided to finally get things started. Last week, my cousin stopped by with bushes for my mom and this week I've decided to expand on that …

Long story short, it’s still a bad time.

I tend to put a lot of pressure on things that really don't require that much attention. It's a habit of mine that I've been trying to break for the longest time, but sometimes the bad habits win. Often, this comes as a "I can't do x, y, z, until everything else is perfect." I …

just the beginning

Last summer, a friend of younger sister's stopped by to fix up our little garden box. And, I think he did a good job. He changed out the rotting wood, rolled out new landscaping cloth and added fresh compost and mulch to the raised beds. And, while previously overloaded with gravel and rock, the beds …

just one day

Every single time I sit and try to write, the words don't come. The need to write is there. The all consuming feeling that I must write something overrides my ability to do literally anything else without thinking about how I would write that scene. But, the words don't come. I want to have a …
