To Gain More Knowledge…..

Never fear about asking to many questions. Having a very large family on my Dad’s side, I witnessed Great; grandmas, aunts uncles, cousins, and their close friends, who passed away, beginning at five years old. Just two weeks after my eighth birthday, my youngest baby sister passed away suddenly. She was barely four months old andContinue reading “To Gain More Knowledge…..”

Belated Mother’s Day Blessings!

Happy belated Mother’s Day to you all. My Mother’s Day was calm, intimate, and quiet.

Raindrops💦& A few Packs of Seeds!

There is something about getting one’s hands in soil after a good down pour. Seeing a saturated garden turning the dry tan dirt into a rich black soil, as it drinks in the rain. Today, I enjoyed digging into the black nutrient dense earth, unearthing plump worms watching them move deeper into the soil,  IContinue reading “Raindrops💦& A few Packs of Seeds!”
