Perfection.

What do you do when you wake up at 5:30 and can't go back to sleep? Transplant pansies of course!

These are from my wintersowing that germinated too early so I brought them inside with the grow light. They seemed to have stopped growing, so I thought maybe they were ready for transplanting. It's all an experiment!

We went to Hidden Lake Garden today in Michigan. Really a lovely place and would like to go back in warmer weather. The Spring Bulb show continues until March 24th. 10.00 per person to get in, but you can see all the grounds while you are there. They also have a skywalk which was pretty cool!

Have you ever heard of a white forsythia? Neither had I! The Toledo Botanical Gardens has one though. It is so fragrant as well!

With these warmer temps, my winter sown pansies have already germinated! I'm thinking I have to bring these guys inside now.

Last night I watched a documentary called "Earthing" on Prime. If you are interested in healing your physical body from inflammation using a free method, check it out! I know I will be spending much more time barefoot as soon as it warms up.

The Earthing Movie is a documentary produced by Big Picture Ranch that reveals the remarkable science of "Grounding" (or "Earthing") and how we can heal our bodies by simply standing barefoot on the earth. Featuring Deepak Chopra, M.D., Clint Ober, Amy Smart, Mariel Hemingway, and more.

I'm making a risotto tonight with beans I grew this summer in our garden. I got a lot of compliments on this pole bean and the hummingbirds loved the flowers!

I'm so excited to be starting a platform for nature lovers, gardeners and curious souls! I'll be posting my adventures as a landscaper, as well as posting about my new gardening classes I plan to host throughout the summer months.

I also started writing about nature and spirituality on my Substack publication, called "Garden Muse" which you can find here: gardenmuse.substack.com.
