Planting seeds & giving love

May 17, 2020 By hautegreyfox Leave a Comment

Do you remember my last post about generational gratitude? Well, here’s another one. During this extra time at home, I’ve had a chance to spend even more time in my garden. Here, everything is quiet. For a moment — just a moment — I forget that the world is in the middle of a pandemic. Here, I thank my mother. After all, she is the one who taught me everything I know about gardening. She’s still teaching me.

My quiet sanctuary

To this day, my mom is the go-to plant expert. She can tell you everything you need to know about a particular plant. This includes more than just the name. She is such a great teacher. She has even taught me about how much water to provide or which container size I need to support my plant’s new beginnings.

Plant Delights Nursery – My favorite place to purchase plants

I love the décor in my home, but there is something about having beautiful, thriving plants. I have quite a few these days, and I’m always looking for a new addition. Unlike home decorating trends that may come and go, natural beauty is here to stay.

Although plants need water and sunlight, they also need love. So, what’s one way to show love to your plants? Give each one a name, of course. Choose names with meaning or just pick names that you enjoy.

Here are names for some of my plants:

I have a fiddle leaf fig named Celine and a bird of paradise plant named Grey. I also have four snake plants, one of which I inherited from my grandmother. Are you following all of the generational gifts here? My snake plants are named Reese, Carter, Spike and Freddie. I have a huge ficus named Big Mama, too. I can’t wait to add to my plant family.

The key to successfully growing house plants is to find out what they like. Start by doing a little research and begin your plant journey by selecting a low-maintenance plant. When my mother began sharing her gardening wisdom, I became a sponge. I wouldn’t call myself an expert — I just love taking the time to find the best way for my plants to thrive. When you’re passionate, you work hard to support growth. This includes gardening.

Give it a try. We’ve all got extra love to share.

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.  Power at it best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

I drove around town to some of our most beautiful areas, Bentley and I took long walks at a nearby (beautifully landscaped) college campus and I took advantage of some amazing sales.  Still surprised at the deep discounts!  I can’t wait to show you some of the bargains.

Wednesday Words of Wisdom - Patriotism is love of Wednesday Words of Wisdom - Patriotism is love of country.  But you can’t love your country without loving your countrymen and countrywomen.  We don’t always have to agree, but we must empower each other, we must find the common ground, we must build bridges across our differences to pursue the common good. ~Cory Booker~

“All dressed up and nowhere to go” so I decide “All dressed up and nowhere to go” so I decided to take this fabulous trench coat for a spin around downtown.

It’s 2021, y’all, but 12:01 am didn’t signal It’s 2021, y’all, but 12:01 am didn’t signal the push of a magical button.  Some challenges and circumstances remain, but that shouldn’t take away our hope. This year, I’m fighting to stay healthy — mind, body, and soul.  On the blog, I share how I’m simply taking things one day at a time.
