Hello, friends… It’s been quiet here.… My family lost our very own Tinker Bell. I’ve tried to make this post on my personal page but I come up short each time.
She was magical. So sweet and soft but also bright and loud in such a beautiful way. Like a little fairy just humming along to her own beat. If you knew her, you were blessed with all the love she had. She gave that love to anyone she encountered. She was a beautiful mama too, just not mine. She was the best aunt any girl could ask for in life. She could always sense when I was down and she would call me at the most perfect time. She would help pick me up and dust me off. After those calls, I felt shiny and new. She was a true healer of your spirit.
Almost a year ago she left me a long message on my phone telling me she did our numbers and we were in for BIG changes “My Little Gemini”. I could have never guessed that big change would include you leaving this world. You didn’t tell me I’d never hear you say “Leeshy, my sweets” again. I wasn’t ready!!
Now I sit here in the quiet trying to make sense of life. How did 6 months turn into 3 weeks. I had a bag full of questions we never got to open. Why does the sky look less bright now? It feels different. It’s like the ending a beautiful book that you didn’t want to end, it should still have more chapters.. There should have been a world wide moment of silence for you. But there wasn’t. The world kept spinning…
So for now, I’ll sit here in the quiet and re-read the story until we meet again. Go over all the chapters again. Remembering your light that gave away to anyone. Knowing you live in these chapters will give me a tiny bit of peace. I love you forever! I miss you already!

When the sun ☀️ hits just right 🙂‍↔️
Tomorrow I’ll be making some bulk soil mix for my tropicals that will be getting repotted very soon! I’m going to teach you how to make your own soil mix. It’s less expensive and your plants will love you for it! I’ll also have a list of all the products I’ll be using and if I can figure it out, I’ll link the products. See you tomorrow, friends!!

What are you doing today, friends? I made some bread for my husband! Except that blueberry/lemon loaf, that’s for me!! I only cut open the strawberries and cream but she’s dreamy inside!! This will be my last bread for a minute….
I’m making way for all the plant projects I have in store this summer! I have lots 🫣. I also have 73,647 things I have to get done before my daughter graduation. I’m also wrapping up my son’s 8th grade year (I homeschool him) which is actually pretty easy since I’m like the best teacher/principal 👩‍🏫 combo ever. Just saying…
I will be returning to the witchy bread life around fall… but until then, I’ll just be the speaker of the trees. Or Fern Gully as my neighbor refers to me…

Free to good home… local pick up by Riverview High School… she’s ugly and a hot mess but free to anyone who wants a project… I just don’t have time right now…. she was forgotten on a shelf but she blooms. It’s a Hoya sp. Burtoniae. She’s big too!

This is my newest favorite edible! At least, I hope!! I had to quarantine her out front before bringing her to the patio. The bigger lemon 🍋 in the picture was from the one next to it when we bought it. Mine have little baby lemons but best of all…. The flowers smell so good!!! How much was it, right?? 59.99 at my local Lowe's Home Improvement store!! Once she’s settled in I’ll be moving her to a better suited pot. I found some great planters made specifically for growing citrus on your patio. I’m planning on selling my home in the next year so I don’t want to plant it directly in the ground yet. Stay tuned to see her glow up… or break down 🙂‍↔️ Either way, I’ll document it!

Well hello, friends!! Look at this beauty!! Oreo Cookie Sourdough loaf. It tastes even better than it looks!! Now that spring is pretty much here, I'll be posting more planty posts! Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to my beautiful variegated pink lemon tree. It's one of the varieties that can be grown in large planters on the patio. My son and I have started seeds that will be planted to make a teepee structure too. I'll be talking about edible plants and trees and also our beautiful houseplants. I'll be doing some large repots and building some big moss poles that I'll record to help you out when you need to do your own. Plus, I'll link everything I use so you can do it on your own at home too. I'm very thrifty, so if I post something I use, it's not expensive.

Today, even though it’s not Florida warm, it’s the best day ever!! This beautiful young lady passed a test she’s been struggling with for months 🎉 To say I love her is such an understatement. She shaped me into the person that I am today. The best parts of my life started with her!! She was standing right there with me when i got my high school diploma and I’ll be right next to her! Such a blessing!! Cheers to her future! Cheers to the #1 vet assistant who may become your pets doctor one day!!

My Florida beauty was victimized not just once but several times from the pop up winter we had to participate in this year. Then when I thought Mother Nature was done with her cruel game, her friend Wind came in and scooped my beauty right off her feet. About 6 feet to be exact. Now she looks like a character from Fraggle Rock that just got cooked! At least she looks relaxed 🫠 look for the balance, friends!
