I can't eat my microgreens fast enough. Simple setup of growing Italian mix seeds in dirt in a rain gutter hung above my kitchen sink. We have constant fresh supply for sandwiches and garnish. These microgreens also supplement our salads. South facing window.

The home Jeff and I renovated in Piqua Ohio, and I cared for disabled veterans in, is on the market again. I so loved this home. I pray that we will be able to create a beautiful and unique place in Ripley too. The following offers pictures of how our old house looks now. The current owners added many colors and made it their own.

People have asked how our Ripley Project is coming.. we have all the windows in and the electric box. We have been sistering joists and tuck-pointing... With warmer weather around the corner we hope to progress a little faster. It's a labor of love. We recently went to an auction and purchased some antique items that we will incorporate into the rehab. Jeff and I have so much fun making plans together for the many projects.

🌱The Garden🌱
Whenever I catch a moment to work in the garden I see the flourishing plants whose seeds I consciously planted. I also see the weeds. The weeds came in from other places, yet there they are, needing to be pulled so what I want to grow can flourish and bloom in its full glory.
🌱
As I watch everything unfold nationally I cannot even begin to find the words to express the complex tangled layers that brought this moment. I have been blind to them because of the color of my skin. I have been taught to love my neighbor as myself and here I see my neighbors struggling for basic rights.
🌱
I am not in the world of social justice, but I am deeply rooted in environmental, animal and soil justice. Our land, our animals, our planet want to support every human - not just some.
🌱
All of this is foreign to me because the idea of treating anyone without kindness is off the table for me. Yet, there are those who do not see the world as I see it and they do not think twice about harming others. This is what has been gripping my heart.
🌱
We all have weeds in the gardens of our hearts and minds that have been planted, perhaps weeds we unconsciously allowed to grow. This month and all months going forward I am going to be pulling those weeds out and looking at them - the truth and purity of loving our neighbors - ALL NEIGHBORS as ourselves needs space to grow.
🌱
Will you pull those weeds with me? Will you examine your heart and mind when it comes your reactions to what is happening? Can you look at all of it with a beginners mind and really listen? Can you make space for new ideas to grow? Can we return our hearts to Eden? I pray the answer is yes. ❤️
