Happy Holidays from Europe!
What an incredibly magical time to be exploring! I have only ever traveled around the holidays once for a couple of days. On this trip, however, I am away for 3 weeks! We actually landed in Barcelona on Thanksgiving (we had our Thanksgiving a few days before). It was so amazing! Just to get away…

I Got Lost! You Should Too!
I got lost in my garden today! My garden now fully encompasses the backyard of my property, which is less than a quarter of an acre mind you. I was waking up my garden as I do every morning and I just got completely swept away. I was watering, admiring growth, and taking note of…

“No flowers, no bees; No bees, no flowers. Blooming and buzzing, Buzzing and blooming; Married and still in Love.” ~ Mike Garofalo Happy May! As my vines are attempting to grow back in some areas where parts of the fence remain, I wanted to take a moment to mention it. This post is in honor…
