Crazy green spring, central coast California. 💚 Oh! My heart!

Our education on how to plant a large wildflower orchard continues. Despite ignorance, birds, & guy who accidentally drove tractor into what he thought was field of weeds 🤣 these are some of our first rewards.💝

And our first foxglove blooming ~ kindly in our view from the living room window.

Our new baby apple tree is already busy in production.♥️

So long ago, with no plan, I think we had this leftover scented geranium… “just stick it in the ground near the bird feeder.” Nobody cared for it especially but by itself, w/sun & rain & Mother Nature, it thrived. So now, I’m walking around, see it, & go wow! And then my favorite prayer: 🙄Thank you.

Best day!!!💖

Birthday plans…gave myself night sky🌌 manicure for the pink full moon😊), lunch today with Joe & old friends, (hint: main characters in Fairytale Girl!🎉) Elaine sent me a cherry tree!! Been wonderful! Thank YOU for B’day wishes!🥳💞 Red Letter Week!🅱️😂

I looked at these stunning colors and they were so beautiful, everything is so beautiful. I said to myself why is everything so beautiful to me? And then I had a thought, I must be the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Walking at sunset last night.

Our old apple tree… not sure of variety yet.

Ceonothus hedge, called California lilac. So pretty! 😍
