Real talk. I’m not sure this is what the movie meant, but if Stella grew flowers, this is what it would look like to get her groove back. Last year sapped the fun out of it for me. Recovering from c-section #3 (after 40 😬), a new baby, toddler and tween, drought, physical challenges…and then the goats! I had to just throw in the towel. And this year, it wasn’t looking a whole lot more promising. More family challenges popped up and the garden got pushed back again….but here I am! I have been taking one step at a time, one raised bed at a time, one task at a time. And slowly, I’m finding my way back to the joy that comes with my hands in the dirt and helping things grow. Any success that comes with that will be light years ahead of where I was, so I’m going to count that part. No comparisons, just steps forward. So I’ll put on my tunes, pour myself a glass and start some more seeds! I can’t wait to see what grows!!
