The Package

For the past two weeks, I’ve been searching for several seed packets, and I can’t seem to find them...I know they’re in this house somewhere and I’ve probably overlooked them at least a dozen times---because that’s what I do best---overlook stuff,lol.


The weather here in Atlanta has been stifling hot for weeks and I’ve been wanting to sow all the heat loving seeds that I have, i.e, watermelon, pumpkin, and cucumber seeds, and because I spent so much of my time trying to keep my home tidy; which means for me, no seed packets, my gardening journal and multiple pens and pencils that I use to write with,seed catalogs and bags of potting soil, and the array of growing containers had to be contained.    


No more hiding the gardening stuff on the lower shelves of the china cabinet or taking over the kitchen table, I had to get my stuff together and pull my home together because we had family coming in town for my daughter’s college graduation.


Y’all I promise, I’m not a slob, however, I’m not a super neat person, either. So, it isn’t hard to believe that I can’t find the seed packets right off the bat, however, it’s hard to believe that they still haven’t been found, after two weeks.For the past two weeks, I’ve been searching for several seed packets, and I can’t seem to find them...I know they’re in this house somewhere and I’ve probably overlooked them at least a dozen times---because that’s what I do best---overlook stuff,lol.

Hopefully, I can find the packets real soon, but in between time my dad sent me a package of goods and these were included,too.




I just want to say, thank you, daddy! Now I can feel productive again.

Sorry, I've been away for a few days celebrating my daughter's college graduation last Thursday, and supporting my youngest daughter's back to back performances/shows with the Atlanta Music Project and participating at the Band Jamboree (shout out to The Marching Bulldogs).  

These events have been exciting proud moments for a mother, but these events and many of the other end of the year school events will/ have me a bit drained, so forgive me if I don't post on the regular in the next few weeks. 

Meanwhile........the hydrangeas are blooming!

Keep Growing, y'all 😊

A Walk and an Idea

Went on a walk with my daughter, Kennedy on Tuesday and these two rocks caught my eye. I hope to paint them and use them as garden markers.
