Avid sewist & crocheter who also loves to garden. Oh & I cuss a lot. Baby Neo-Pagan 🌒🌕🌘

I want a cup of coffee sooo bad but I'm gonna go for a cup of tea instead because it's after 3pm & I need to sleep tonight. 😮‍💨

I started new cucumbers AGAIN late in the season because something keeps eating my seedlings. They also chomped on my beans. This was my reminder that direct sowing isn't my jam. At this point I'm not gonna have room for my fall harvest. 😮‍💨

I used to be a very mentally organized person but I can't tell my ass from my elbow I'm so scatter brained now. This hormonal transition has a chick on the edge. Doing everything & nothing at the same time is exhausting AF!!

Told the man that my car was making a funny noise when he got home last night & he's fixing it before work this morning. I truly lucked out with him being a "car" guy. 🙌🏾

The man not understanding my propensity for falling after over 2 decades is sorta cute. Like dude why are you still surprised that a deep breath can cause me to lose my balance & tumble. 😒

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

NCDA&CS has confirmed the 1st established presence of the invasive yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) in the state, in Matthews. Beekeepers are asked to watch for hornets around hives exhibiting “hawking-like behavior.” This behavior is a distinctive characteristic to the yellow-legged hornet.

I'm over everything & it's just the afternoon. Let me go pretend to be productive & trace a sewing pattern to make adjustments.

My daughter in love said the purple jalapeno looks like an eggplant. 🤭 It smells hot so I'm feeling a bit concerned. 😬

Losing electricity while wearing a CPAP machine is very disconcerting. Also I'm very disappointed in myself for getting into the habit of charging my phone during the day instead of overnight. 😒 On a bright note at least it's not hot enough to make my ovaries sweat so sliver linings…

Vertigo has curb stomped my quality of life for no other reason than it can. My life can randomly feel like an actual rollercoaster ride. 😒

Not me taking my car to get it inspected & forgetting my saucy book was still connected to it. 😬 I almost showed the nice lil boys the wrong side of me. 👀🤭

An anole lizard scared the fuck out of me this morning. I made sure to cuss it & the lizard that laid the egg it came from out because why would you do that to me for no reason. 😒🤬

Mid August I'll be starting my seeds for my greens because I can't trust what's at the stores considering what's going on now. It's about to be an interesting fall food season. 😔

I'm spiraling over something as trivial as a jacked up hair cut. Let me go just cut the rest of my hair off & have a really hard cry. Today sucks toad ass. 😮‍💨😭

I'm still on the fence with the Saucy Mary tomatoes. They have a nice mild taste, low acid but not bland. It gave me kiwi vibes but that could be the green flesh. 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️ Oh & before me shoved a Roma tomato in a empty pot & now I have instant transplants. #patiogardener #miniharvest

A green pepper & a mini harvest of tomatoes varieties some still blushing (Saucy Mary, Tiny Tim, Orange Hat & Roma).

Trying to decide if I should break out my steam rollers to help keep my hair moisturized in between wash days because this old lady hormone shift has my shit crisp. 😒

My grandbaby doesn't like red tomatoes anymore so of course I'm sending orange hat & aztek gold micro tomato seeds. 😊

Super excited about presoaking the beans because they're sprouting which means I can plant them & hopefully get them growing faster. ☺️ I'm doing the same with some cucumber seeds. I plan on taking advantage of the 2nd half of my summer harvest. #patiogardener
