Building Upward

Goldenrod tincture from flowers wild sourced in October during a therapeutic journey to Carrabelle, FL.

Straining this bright golden yellow richness and abundance felt right on the new year. So thankful to have the support from Solidago in the coming season!

At the close of this year, 12/31/2025, I am releasing one of the offsite gardens.

As I viewed the garden, which birthed fresh strawberry plants and a small rosemary to come along for the new journey, I see this ending is good enough.

The way you think frames your life. Thinking differently could change everything you experience. Your mind creates your perspective and you have the power to change it!

Rather than exercise to “earn” your food, consider that food is the energy that keeps your together. And exercise is the expression of joy of being able to move your body. Your body is an amazing creation, constantly working in concert to keep you functioning at your best.

Rustic cold frame using recycled parts. Found this window as a discard from nearby renovation project. Fun and easy DIY less than 10 minutes. It was begging to be the top of a cold frame! It even has hinges if I later upgrade from the recycled brick to a widen frame.

Will fill with some potting mix and home compost. it will be the perfect place for winter greens and early spring starts later this year.

Happy new garden year!
