On Friday’s
A few months ago, when they first became available, I purchased a cherry tomato plant. It’s done well, but I feel sorry for it because it hasn’t had a chance to mass produce. Every time a tomato turns red, I pluck it from the vine, wipe it with my shirt and eat it. I’ve been…

The Best of Both Worlds
In this post here I shared the ambitious idea of leaving my Bougainvillea inside through the summer. It had done well being in over the winter and I was curious if it would thrive indoors during it’s blooming season. Well, that was my crazy unleashed, because do you know how big a Bougainvillea can get?…

The Winter Bloom
This morning, I watched the sunrise out the window of my writing room. I never knew my daughter’s old room had the best view of the sunrise until now and it was a magical sight. There are some plants in here preparing for a winter bloom. I don’t have much use for house plants, but…

Bloom in Secret
I tried three different techniques for fixing coffee, until I sipped from the cup that soothed my soul. The Chemex won and Goldilocks…I feel you. I rarely edit my photos anymore and haven’t for a long time. Every now and then I’ll brighten it if the subject is sitting in a darkened area, but I…

Bloom in Silence
The Crepe Myrtle was here when we moved in. It was planted, but not nurtured, so it didn’t know the power it held. I learned when and how to cut it back so it could rest off season. Each year it grew and bloomed a little bit longer than the last, but this year it…

The Sweet Spot
I purchased a candle that you’d normally buy in the fall/winter and have it lit nearby. I’m not rushing the season, but smelling it’s fall like scent certainly takes the edge off the outdoor temps climbing well into the 100’s by afternoon. I head outside early each morning to water everything that’s planted in pots…

The Good Dirt
No purchase gets me more excited than buying a good bag of dirt. The bag of dirt purchased in March reveals how little has been planted because it’s half full. A new garden center opened at the opposite end of the same street as Hill Country. You can read here that Hill Country is by…

Hear Myself Living
It’s okay to change your mind. I change mine over something almost every day and I think being adaptable smooths the rough edges of change. Even though I didn’t plant any flowers in the ground this year, it didn’t stop me from having flowers. There’s something inside of me especially this time of year that…

Stay True to You
Over the weekend I was sitting on my bed recording a Marco Polo for my friend, and showing her some things I’d done to my room to make it more Haven-like. She Marco Polo’s me back saying she loved the flowers on the bedside table, and noticed I’ve had fresh flowers in my room for…
