Gardens on Stardust

 Heyo, I drew a rough backyard sketch so that Will and I could figure out where we want some preliminary planters to go. Our HoA allows for a generous amount of gardening and planters (as long as it's in your back yard), which is nice. We have a medium back yard, but it's not a rectangle so I thought to draw it out to get a feel for how the sunlight is in the middle of the day and the best shaping for our planting ideas. 

Here's the rough sketch.

I didn't draw the front yard because there's more shade, but we do have a lot of sunlight on the side of our house. We'll be planting a fruit tree that ways, but also I completed our first in-ground planting here! A beautiful butterfly bush! I even saw a hummingbird moth on it earlier. Absolutely awesome. 

We have a couple other plants ready to put in the ground, but after doing yardwork for 4+ hours, we needed a break! I will add another post about our next planting adventures soon. 

Music - A Heart of Growth

In high school, I used to sit in my room, or out on the porch and listen to music for hours doing nothing else. Just listening to the sounds formed into words, sounds formed into beats and tunes. It could be any music, nothing in true particular. This activity seemed to have gotten lost along the way for years, and years, until recently. My husband and I purchased a 6-in-1Vitrola. I never knew these existed, and now I would never go back to that ignorance. We can finally listen to our vinyls again, our old cds, even cassette tapes. I love to lie out on the sofa and listen to the songs that created who I am as I grew through the years. The music that moved me, the music that brought me to every victory, to every defeat, to every path ongoing.
