Add Fresh Herbs

✨

Cut the garlic chives so that they can continue their potency! They protect so many of my garden friends. 🌿✨

In the meantime (because I don't need that many garlic chives in tonight's dinner & I don't have the capacity to dry them right now with all the other things I'm drying...) I tied them and hung them outside our front door to repel pests of all kinds (& evil intentions 👀💀🫠🐸😉✨).

🌿🧚‍♀️ Hey, there, Farmer Nic! 🧚‍♀️🌿

Oh, Nicole
My sweet Nicole
Oh, Nicole
Sweet, sweet Nicole

You, too, could accept this as an almost 40, inflamed lupine, make-up free, mosquito-bite covered, grey-haired-trauma-embargoed millennial who's gardening past her physical threshold and emotionally/spiritually outputting more than she should but less than she wants!

If you've read this far, this is for you -- are you about my age, and suddenly learned some really heavy stuff about your childhood that puts puzzle pieces into place and now has put you into a loop?

I'm here with you.

Notice no emojis or prompts. I'm not trying to sell you s**t. I'm just here for you this summer. DM me if you need anything, and give me grace if I take a while to respond.

💖

Same, girl, same.

Oh, Rosemary, you little breadloaf.

Spooky, hilarious.

I love when my former students visit me & ask me for spells ✨💖🧚‍♀️🌸🐸

A lovely little harvest, indeed. 💖✨🌸🧚‍♀️

Such a precious little moment.

One of my husband's black bean plants vining around a stick I drove into the ground to get it from point A -- to point B (a larger trellis).

We wrap ourselves around any sturdy center we can find in that moment & for better or for worse, I love that for us.
