Gardening Tips
My hope is for all to receive sanctuary and encouragement, including hospitality venues and ideas, conversational meditations, and organic gardening tips. Topics will range from the deeply personal to the light and entertaining, but all with the purpose of uplifting you while encouraging you to think deeply.
The Magic Butterfly Weed
If you want your garden to be a monarch butterfly way station, you must plant butterfly weed. This statuesque, architectural statement in your yard is a miracle plant!
My Own Red Tent
I was on my back porch sorting seeds I had dried from last year, basking not in the sun, but in the unusually cooler weather of an early Texas fall. The rain fell with a steady thrum, surrounding the perimeter of the porch, giving me the illusion of resting in a tent with the flaps open.
Have a Cup ‘a Cappuccino
The mornings these last few weeks have been divine: temperatures are in the 50s, the wind is an invigorating slight breeze, the storms are held at bay, and my shoulders need a slight shawl. What better weather is there than this to sit on the back porch, watch the dawn rise, and sip on a cup of smooth cappuccino without having to trek to the nearest coffee shop! And I can get my own free instant refills!
