I’m posting this because we all need beauty right now and because sometimes a long wait is worth it. I waited 2-3 years to buy these because they were expensive. Then after I ordered and planted them, I had to wait two years to see this.

Grounding to reconnect with Earth’s electrical field. I look forward to this every spring. It always makes me feel so much more balanced.

Ever since I was about 9 or 10, baking cookies has been a small, concrete way to make things better. So today I made buttercream-frosted, Valentine’s sugar cookies. Because 36 yrs ago, I made them for my husband the first Valentine’s Day we were dating. #homecooking #baking #ValentinesDay
