It’s coming on winter so cutting firewood, bringing the more delicate parts of the garden indoors (irises/daffodils/amaryllises/snapdragons/succulents/pansies/freesias/Hoyas/pothos/begonias) My bathroom looks like a plant nursery.

Always stitching something. Most likely seeing a rheumatologist cause doc thinks I have arthritis in my hands and knees. My medical opinion is that my swollen knuckles look mean af. Swollen knees however, makes my legs look disproportionate exactly like being underweight did. Ick.

Dogs eczema is under control now and he is making up for any cuddle he didn’t want when he was itchy. 35 kilo dog now sits on my lap at any chance. It would be great if that wasn’t over half my weight and his ass and head didn’t hang over the sides of the chair.

Found a pristine Marc jacobs cashmere sweater for $5 and it was too big. I could weep.

What a garden! Love it. I'm convinced dogs have a completely different sense of space and proportion than we do. Dog math.

They’ve gotta have some spatial anomaly where they see a space half their size and think ‘perfect fit!’ Then spend 20 minutes confused and sad about being larger than a shoe box.

My grandpa was a mad gardener, mostly I’m just trying to keep his plants alive. My family is a dreadfully sentimental bunch, we’ve all got some of his plants and became avid gardeners to keep any little connection to him alive.

That's cool tho! We have a little tree from grandma, it gives a very nice vibe to the garden.

Aww sweet! I love heirlooms like that. Like a living connection. Grandmas tree giving you or your family or pets shade on a hot day is a very pleasant thought.

Gardens are the best. Ours is going to sleep at the moment so the only flowering things left are the lavenders and sages for the bees and the citrus trees. Smells weird tbh.

Actually sounds like an aromatherapy blend!

It would be nice if I didn’t hate lavender haha. The bees love it though and we’ve got like, 8 hives to feed so it’s worth it.

If you like lavender it would be heavenly.

I can see that -- I knew a physio who became allergic to lavender because they put it in so many balms, rubs, soaps, etc. It's strong stuff!
