Err on the side of kindness. Love more. When life gets bad, try to remember all the good little things. Anything at all.
You got this...
even when you don't think you do.

These are a couple cactuses I picked up and actually paid full price for because they were so cool, which if you know me you know is a rarity. But I liked them, so I bought them. #LifeInTheGreenhouse

My (adult) son saw someone stomp on a bee while he was fishing out at the dock. Called him right out on it and told him bees were the reason he could eat and he needed to stop that crap. The guy actually apologized and said he'd remember that. I raised my kids right. #BeesAreLife

It's hard now for people who depend on SNAP benefits to feed their families. And kids deserve to eat no matter what. Please help where you can. For Manatee County FL here is a list of resources. For other areas Google food pantries and the name of your town mealsonwheelsplus.org/wp-content/u...

So nice to have the greenhouse up! I am not restricted to just mornings outside anymore. One of the cactus starts I'm replanting today. #FlowerPower

Not strong enough yet to go to a rally but much love and support to those that can. You are speaking for so many more than you know. #NoKings

Finally getting back to the outside. Still not all the way better, but I miss my outside. The boys got the greenhouse up while I was in the hospital, so I have a nice shaded place to do my planting. Had a little helper this morning. #LifeInTheGarden

I just stuck a couple leaves off another plant in the planter and I have babies starting!! Woo hoo! It only took about 8 months. If nothing else, I am learning patience. #LifeOnThePorch

My son left his (almost) empty coffee cup on the porch a bit ago. Apparently he's not the only one that likes his coffee with heavy french vanilla creamer #LifeOnThePorch

The storm a couple of days ago blew all the new leaves of the top of my lemon tree. But my garden dragonfly came to visit anyway. #Dragonfly #LifeInTheGarden

I love watching the geckos in the morning. There's a bunch of little babies running around but I haven't really been able to get any pictures of them. They are very shy. But here's one of the others that wanted to say good morning. #LifeOnThePorch

Good morning. These seeds were supposed to be succulents that were hard to find. Turns out they were not. Just morning glories. That's all right though, teach me to buy seeds on Temu #FlowerPower

Sitting here drinking my coffee and realized that the grapevines had twisted themselves around into the shape of a heart. With the shade from the banana trees, they were just trying to get a little light in their life. #MyLittleGarden

There are two things that are important to me to try to grow. One of them is strawberries. Such fond memories of being outside with Grandpa and him letting me sneak a strawberry off the plant. I made my bed just like he did and I'm so excited to see all the babies starting. I hope he would be proud

More sticks come back to life. I thought they weren't going to actually grow, but apparently I was not patient enough. These are some broken branches off a dying plant. I literally had the pot sitting there so I could plant something else in it. #LifeOnThePorch

Pineapples are going crazy! The one in the right is about 15 years old and the one in the left is only about 5. We need to figure out where to move them so they'll quit stabbing me when I try to weed. #LifeInTheGarden

My granddaughter decided she wanted to wear my son-in-law's snake as a necklace. Not exactly my idea of high fashion but to each their own. I don't usually let him bring the snake over to the house because my daughter-in-law is terrified, but it's a family pet and he's good with the kids.

So I tried growing some corn for us people and it didn't work out so well. Turns out growing corn in Florida ain't so easy. But this is some Seed corn for the hens so we'll see how it goes. #LifeOnThePorch

Love that new life can come from a couple of sticks I pulled off a dying plumeria. Took about 2 years, but they suddenly started blooming this year. This is the first time I've seen leaves on them. #LifeOnThePorch
