Yesterday I turned 42.
I had a good day. I spent it with my husband, son,siblings and their children. We used the opportunity of being together like this and called in a photographer to take some professional family portraits. I can’t wait till they are ready.
My friend Helen showed up and that topped up the day some more. I love seeing Helen.
Today was an amazing day. I’ve been in search for something new and I think I found it…today.
My sisters and I visited a friend of theirs, this friend has a small garden, she nurses plants and sells them off…but she keeps most of them. It started small, like a joke, and now she has over a hundred kind. The moment I walked into her space, I knew I wanted to have and care for one of them. I’ve never had a plant before.
Lately I’ve found myself so amazed by Derrick Knight’s garden. I think the universe is telling me that it’s time to get a plant.
For my birthday, my sister’s friend, Domitila, gave me three plants from her garden. I insisted on paying for the fourth.
I took a few photos of her garden to share.
I loved being there.
42 isn’t going so bad, so far, it looks good.
