It all Started in Hobart

If I have learned anything from following my sisters Instagram, its #flowersareprettymmmk

Gardening has always been a part of my life, at least it started when the family lived in Lake Forest Park. I didn’t appreciate it fully at the time, or sometimes at all. But I have grown up since then and very much appreciate the joy and beauty that gardening brings into our lives.

There is just something so satisfying about seeing some good solid effort turn into something so complex and incredible. Now mind you, not all of these came from any effort of mine except for pulling my wallet out…

And honestly I just love how many variations of patterns and colors there are. No two flowers are the same. Kind of like all of us.

Sometimes things get away from you. Like the Lavender. And that’s ok. Control isn’t always important. Sometimes you just have to let go and see where chaos takes you.

Not everything has to be yours either. Nature is one hell of a green thumb. Her plants just aren’t nearly as friendly…

And sometimes you just have to let your personality shine. After all, why do any of this if not to let people into who you are a little bit.

Be sure to include your little friends the bees when making decisions (or a lack of planning) around your flower garden. They really love a WIDE variety of pollen (even though it make me feel like dying…. I hate Hay Fever).

And don’t forget to appreciate everyone else’s hard work as well. We can’t just focus on ourselves and expect to find true beauty in the world. #flowersareprettymmmk
