I spotted this little dragonfly while cleaning up the yard today they’re always a sign that warmer days and fresh starts are on the way. Every year, they show up like tiny winged omens, reminding me that nature is waking up again. 💚🌿

Planted a month before my son was born, this 16-year-old tea olive is my backyard’s sweetest treasure. Its fragrance, drifting through the air reminding me of spring’s past in my childhood, and whispers of time’s passage, proof that beauty lingers, always. #teaolive #nature #spring

Every year, these sunflowers remind me why I love gardening. My son chose them years ago, and now they’re a tradition, a little bit of sunshine we grow together. Watching them bloom reminds me that small things, planted with love, can grow beautifully. #sunflowers #nature #garden

An echo of another time, this house reminds me of my grandmothers, hardworking homemakers who spent their days caring for others and their nights sewing, cooking, and tending their own gardens. Their labor was unseen, unglamorous, and devalued, but it built the world I stand in today.
