ohhhh darlin don’t you ever grow up

[cindygarberiverson]

Yes... don’t ever grow up

[cindygarberiverson]

I wanna be defined by the things that I love

Not the things I hate

Not the things I'm afraid of...

Or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night

...I just think that

You are what you love

—from Daylight by Taylor Swift

Oh @taylorswift !!! Thank you for this song and for these lyrics!!! I needed them and didn’t know it until I heard them. Thank you

I am of the generation where you see a beautiful flower growing up through the cracks in the sidewalk, and you pick it. You take it with you to show everyone you know. Whereas, I think our ancestors might have come upon a beautiful flower and stop and think, "wow, that is really beautiful." Nevermind that picking a flower kills it, the same way taking a picture of a moment can ruin it altogether. They need to possess things. They need photographic proof that they were there. They need to then post that photo online so their friends can see it. So they can spend all day checking the comments underneath. That level of possession worries me.

You gotta step into the daylight... and let it go

How does she know? The list of Taylor’s songs that speak to the very core of my relationship with my Hubby just got longer... First CIWYW then King Of My Heart and NOW... Lover and Paper Rings! Thank you, @taylorswift ! I look forward to when you can look back as I am and say, “Has it been 20 seconds or 20 years?” and have it be the latter+

This year’s garden miracle is a deep purple bearded iris that started blooming in January and hasn’t stopped blooming yet. I’m in awestruck love with this beauty. #MinimalBotanical #organicgardening #WinterGarden #Backyardwildlifehabitat https://www.instagram.com/p/BujjMnTHF7Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ywsyc4ji6dp8

This is what the last day of February looks like around here. It always takes my breath away and fills me with a deep sense of gratitude. #ILovetheBayArea #MinimalBotanical https://www.instagram.com/p/BucN-9GnpV3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5g9eh999i4u7

We adopted this bougainvillea before we lived here. It lived in a pot with a small trellis until we settled it into the ground here 17 years ago. Since then, the wooden trellis has fallen apart. Many times I’ve thought the bougainvillea didn’t survive a winter frost. But it has come back every summer with its brilliant magenta bracts. #MinimalBotanical #backyardwildlifehabitat #organicgardening #acolorstoryglow #acolorstory https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKRHyYAJt5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tzcz74ewe75y

Aloha my pua melia ❤️ A few years ago, a nighttime critter broke a main branch off my tall plumeria. When I found it, I took the branch and shoved it into a terra cotta pot full of fertile organic potting soil to see if it would root and survive. It did! This year, after much waiting, it is blooming for the first time! . . . #MinimalBotanical #backyardwildlifehabitat #organicgardening #acolorstoryglow https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFmXs6A-Ur/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j1fplyxib975

The ‘Janice Kellogg’ rose is blooming away right now. I guess it likes the haircut I gave it last month. . . . #MinimalBotanical #backyardwildlifehabitat #organicgardening #acolorstory #acolorstoryglow https://www.instagram.com/p/BnDBpz3AzYi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2uyw0d8j0wmg

Calibrachoa is a new addition to my container garden this summer. I’m very pleased with them and so are the pollinators 🐝🦋 . . . #organicgardening #backyardwildlifehabitat #acolorstoryglow #acolorstorycardigan #MinimalBotanical #pink #pinkflowers
