Err on the side of kindness. Love more. When life gets bad, try to remember all the good little things. Anything at all. You got this... even when you don't think you do.

Not strong enough yet to go to a rally but much love and support to those that can. You are speaking for so many more than you know. #NoKings

Finally getting back to the outside. Still not all the way better, but I miss my outside. The boys got the greenhouse up while I was in the hospital, so I have a nice shaded place to do my planting. Had a little helper this morning. #LifeInTheGarden

This is from my front porch. Sometimes a generation forgets they're supposed to be nice, but for the most part, we coexist together in our space with no issues. Peace.

Been sick and missing my garden. #FlowerPower

I just stuck a couple leaves off another plant in the planter and I have babies starting!! Woo hoo! It only took about 8 months. If nothing else, I am learning patience. #LifeOnThePorch

Close up view of dirt/snake plant in a red ceramic pot showing three small starts at the base of 2 leaves stuck in the dirt. Mature plant to the side of the leaves in the same planter.

My son left his (almost) empty coffee cup on the porch a bit ago. Apparently he's not the only one that likes his coffee with heavy french vanilla creamer #LifeOnThePorch

Since it was before there was such a thing as caller id, I would call the pastor's house and hang up as soon as somebody answered. I figured as long as somebody answered the phone, the Rapture hadn't happened yet.

The storm a couple of days ago blew all the new leaves of the top of my lemon tree. But my garden dragonfly came to visit anyway. #Dragonfly #LifeInTheGarden

The babies are out playing this morning #LifeInTheGarden

I love watching the geckos in the morning. There's a bunch of little babies running around but I haven't really been able to get any pictures of them. They are very shy. But here's one of the others that wanted to say good morning. #LifeOnThePorch

Good morning. These seeds were supposed to be succulents that were hard to find. Turns out they were not. Just morning glories. That's all right though, teach me to buy seeds on Temu #FlowerPower

Because it's crazy to try to make a living here (FL). Low wages, high rents, high utility bills and the soaring cost of groceries are just the beginning. Even if you could afford a car and gas, we have one of the highest insurance rates in the country. There's no way

Sitting here drinking my coffee and realized that the grapevines had twisted themselves around into the shape of a heart. With the shade from the banana trees, they were just trying to get a little light in their life. #MyLittleGarden

Happy birthday! And you'll finish your novel when it's done. You've already accomplished so much at 36 that you should be proud of. The rest is just icing on the (birthday) cake.

I confess. And to make it even worse, I add butter in addition to the peanut butter and jelly. I fear I am irredeemable after doing this for nearly six decades.

There are two things that are important to me to try to grow. One of them is strawberries. Such fond memories of being outside with Grandpa and him letting me sneak a strawberry off the plant. I made my bed just like he did and I'm so excited to see all the babies starting. I hope he would be proud

My mom told me a long time ago to never make fun of people who mispronounce words but use them correctly. It usually meant they were a reader and not someone who picked up the word in conversation. And they were usually a lot smarter than the person making fun or feeling the need to correct them

More sticks come back to life. I thought they weren't going to actually grow, but apparently I was not patient enough. These are some broken branches off a dying plant. I literally had the pot sitting there so I could plant something else in it. #LifeOnThePorch
