Road tripper. Rose grower. Fur baby Grandma. Oh, and ED nurse on a mission to raise awareness of POTS in the emergency setting.
It's a beautiful, sunny, warm day in Zone 6 and the bees are taking advantage of the aster blooms.

This was a tiny twig when I was gifted it in the Spring. This is huge! The pollinators love it.

I visited the New Orleans Botanical Garden and it was breathtaking.

Our first aster bloom! I've never grown aster before and was gifted it at a gardening class in the Spring. It was a tiny little stick when I brought it home. I will definitely add more to our land. 🏵️ Spirit, our barn cat, loves to follow me everywhere. She won't stay still unless I'm petting her. 🥰

I went for a hike today and was in awe of the Northern Sea Oats and how the White Snakeroot was growing out of a large rock.

I cannot grow orchids, but my mother can. We found this out when my husband surprised me with some and I promptly was left with all sticks and no blooms. I took them to my mother, she worked her magic, and now they bloom prolifically.

We decided not to mow three acres of our land in hopes that native plants would grow helping pollinators. I now see a variety of butterflies and dragonflies when I walk my property. 🦋🌻

I'm amazed that my flowers are surviving this oppressive heat.

I decided to stroll through my rose garden around midnight and take some pictures.

My resolution "Support for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome" has progressed to the ENA General Assembly! I feel both elated and honored. Fingers crossed for approval! It would be fantastic for emergency department nurses around the globe to gain insight into POTS. 🧂🧂🧂

The colors of the sunset last night were mesmerizing. I took some photos of Grand Dame while the sky was still rumbling with leftover thunder.

Yesterday I submitted my final draft of a resolution to the Emergency Nurses Association's Governance detailing the need for increased awareness and education of POTS. 🧂 Today I got my package from Heirloom Roses with some plant food and worm castings. 😁 A little gift for my hard work! 🌹

My rose bed is between flushes, but I still have a few beauties to admire. 🌹

Another stroll through the garden. Spirit, our once-feral cat who enjoys the garden beds as much as I do, relaxed in between my petunias.

When I started my gardens, I fashioned them after cottage gardens. I love the plant varieties and all the little bees and butterflies that visit.

This rose from Heirloom Roses was supposed to get to a max height of 4-6 feet. Every year it has surpassed that to tower over me! I absolutely ❤️ it! One of these days I'll get a sturdy topiary for its support.

Yesterday I submitted a Resolution to the ENA for review focused on increasing awareness and education of POTS to ED nurses. Wish me luck. Say a prayer. I'd love to see it make it to the General Assembly!

Looking up at my beautiful sassafras tree. The sky is absolutely gorgeous today! There's just something about the sunlight coming through these leaves that makes me smile.
