    Today I hit a wall. It’s still rainy and cold in Seattle and I couldn’t deal with the gloom. Do you ever get that trapped feeling at this time of year? You feel like spring should be coming but it isn’t quite. So I started just flat out daydreaming of…

I like to keep musings, sketches, and pressed flowers in my Escape to Nature journal. These lovely books are available from a Ukranian artist on Etsy. Not very expensive. DM me for the info!
A local nursery created this display and called it a 'Nectar Bar' to give people easy plant choices for pollinators. Love the idea. #gardening
New newsletter is out! An outstanding new thriller, tough blue plants for heat, and more!
