I’ve turned to the beautiful, young people in the gardening world, learning what I can about permaculture practices so I can keep gardening for a good, long time. Permaculture and women over 50 go hand-in-hand. Or at least they should.
My grandma used to say “No use crying over spilled milk” now and then when I was a little girl. I didn’t understand it at first – especially when I hadn’t even had milk. Or spilled it. Be grateful that you can pour another cup of milk. Or that you had a floor, or table, to spill it on.
I do love circles and spirals. In art, the garden, every day life, and even my coffee. So the concept of a year being part of a wheel speaks to me. As in, “the wheel of the year”, used to divide up the seasons of the year.
As of January I’ve been blogging for 10 years and that lead to a host change, a new logo and a big ol’ blog update.
Then it occurred to me that if I were in that situation with another woman over 50 she would have hung around to make sure I got on the road without incident. We just know these things. We do these things.
You guys! I had so much fun and handed out so much pineapple upside down cake, air fried goodies and sorbet made in the Yonana at the Hartville Hardware Home and Garden Show! Don’t worry, I’ll have recipes for you soon!
When it snows or rains and we let the dog out they come in soaking wet so we keep a towel by the back door along with their leashes. This Repurposed Junk Dog Leash Holder helps keep everything up off the floor and within easy reach.
An ordinary life can be extraordinary and magic can be found in the every day.
