What’s New?

What's up y'all?

As I shared semi-recently, I have had to make a few changes to this page for a while! Some of the posts have been pulled until further notice, but luckily for you and your eyeballs, I will still be filling you in on our life over here.

First of all, look at this enormous rainbow that was over near our house recently 👆 It is always a bummer when it doesn't show up as bright in the pictures, but it was the boldest and brightest rainbow I have ever seen! And J thought the same thing! It was a double rainbow for a bit too, so I am not sure if you are able to see the second one, since it was pretty light.

I think I have completed my quest for seeds for the spring this year. (Ha! Yeah right…) Mom's garden is being expanded and we will be able to grow a lot of larger crops there, so I want to make our garden area useful for smaller, herb-y things. I have collected a nice array of seeds to grow a variety of cilantro, dill, basil, etc.…along with a few midnight tomatoes and mardi gras green beans. This year we just have to hope that there is not a crazy heat wave. Last year the heat tried AND succeeded at killing off a lot of our veggies.

Here is a great discovery...

We have a window in our house that is large and quite sunny. I just recently discovered that the ledge, provides a perfect sized area for afternoon sun. So my sweet little orchids have found their way to a better spot in the house. They get much needed sunlight now in the spring, summer, fall AND winter! I am so excited! They wont have to live by the UV light in the garage anymore...and risk being neglected... and risk me forgetting them out there overnight.

Don't judge the dirty window. It is a really annoying window to get up to. So it doesn't get cleaned as often as it should.

Also, speaking of plants and light, all of my other houseplants are no longer with us. The winter and lack of sun has not done them well.  I completely forgot a few of them outside at the beginning of winter, and they did not survive. The others just haven't been getting the sunlight at all because I had bad placement for them. So they are now dead and gone, and I bought two new ones 😂

I started Hot Yoga last week. I have always wanted to try it, and I finally did. I was actually really pumped that first morning and not even freaked out that I was going by myself. And it was so awesome! I am going back tomorrow, and hopefully can get my schedule to fit so I can do it once per week for a while.

Also, for anyone who has given me ideas of books to read…thank you! And keep them coming if you have other suggestions. I am flying through them!

Oh! and lastly!! Remember my New Year's Resolution, 2022? Well, we did it already! We found a church that we are loving! And this past week, we were able to donate a few of our gift bags to them, in hopes that those looking for grief support in the community would be able to find it more easily.

Happy Spring!
