It was my first time growing sweet potatoes and it was quite the learning experience. Rabbits eating the vines, burrowing in the bed, grubs, and the beat goes on…Lessons for next season. 🙂

I visited The Legacy Museum over the summer. I am definitely going to have to get back there to see this new installation and hopefully, I’ll be able to stay at the hotel/Convening Center that was under construction when I was there.

I was out searching for signs of life in the garden after replenishing a few bird feeders. Last week, the garden was completely covered in snow w/20° temps and this week a wee bit of warmth and an abundance of sunshine. ☀️✨

You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Many deep dives on this one, especially to search for the art installations mentioned. I shared a few on my page today.

My poor book is so tattered and the pages are yellowed.
It’s been a long time, but I remember this being an excellent read.
Happy Reading!

Your post has me revisiting my very small collection this morning. I have some African bloodstones, but I have no idea where they are. I am going to blame it on my postmenopausal brain. 🤷🏾♀️🙂

Those are real pretty. I 🫶🏾 rocks.
I have been known to collect a few in my travels and add them to the garden. This is one of my favorites. 🙂

Listen, the King of Asgard don’t give a damn about your daylight or your saving time. Schedules must be adhered to. Still waiting on the extra hour, cause sleep don’t come easy and I’m going down. Had us out here looking like ashy chocolate at 6 in the morning, on this brisk fall day.

Finally!!! I have been waiting for this book since forever-ever (Apr. 27🤭). The wait for Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert was long too, (very entertaining BTW) but this is the longest wait to date. Please believe, I am going to take my sweet time and savor every word!
