After my mom passed away in August 2018, I spent a

After my mom passed away in August 2018, I spent a lot of time doing activities that reminded me of her, especially cooking & gardening. These flowers are from the last garden she planted. She loved making the most of each season, learning new things and sharing that with us. One of my favorite things about her was that she could really get into things, deeply enjoying whatever she was doing (and inevitably drawing everyone else into the fun!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This summer, someone asked me who I spend time with when I miss my mom, and the truth is I just do the things that she would have loved to do. There’s so much I wish I could talk with her about. Only a mother would tolerate daily updates about growing your first pumpkin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cooking & gardening have this way of making you slow down and appreciate the moment you’re in rather than being caught up in the day-to-day. You gain respect for what it takes to bring food to a table, all the way from sowing a seed to preparing a meal from scratch. Think about the act of buying a pumpkin pie vs. planting, growing, fertilizing, harvesting, curing and cooking a pumpkin and THEN making a pumpkin pie from it. It’s enjoyed for a brief, but very satisfying, moment. Before you know it, the pie is gone & the frost has killed your pumpkin plant. A gentle & necessary reminder that all things come to an end... so savor every moment that you have.

G I V E A W A Y 🌼 I have some extra seeds to from the amazing @floretflower to give away! Swipe to see the packets: Zinnia Salmon Rose, Celosia Texas Plume, and Basil Dark Opal, which is a nearly black purple basil variety that I can’t wait to use in bouquets this summer. To enter, just comment with your favorite flower or one you’re growing this year! Winner will be chosen at random on Sunday 3/22 at 3pm MST. I am more thankful than ever for the opportunity to “cultivate beauty” (that’s Floret Flower’s tagline and I love it). No matter what happens, we can choose to do that.

Meet “Drunken Frizzy-headed Woman” lettuce - yes, that’s her real name. She is all of us right now 🍷

Happy first day of fall! The autumnal equinox fall

Happy first day of fall! The autumnal equinox falls a few days after my birthday. I’d say it kicks off the best three months of the year. 🎃
I haven’t made a layer cake in forever because they take hours and hours. But I had one final recipe to make for a cookbook I’m putting together, so I went big! 🍰
This cake recipe is inspired by a book my mom read in her 3rd grade class called Old Witch & the Polka Dot Ribbon, in which the old witch wins a “most original” ribbon for her entry in a cake competition. In true 70s fashion, the cake has pumpkin, spices, golden raisins and walnuts with a cream cheese frosting. It’s a bit of a throwback, but fun to make! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is my number one garden buddy, Athena. 🐶 Loves new smells (especially fish meal fertilizer), watching bumblebees & nibbling on leaves when I’m not looking.

I’ve wanted to grow dahlias for YEARS but was too intimidated, and now I can’t be stopped! I’m going to try saving the tubers from this so I can plant even more next year without buying too many more, although I have my eye on several varieties from @floretflower - I just need more room to plant!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s so much fun to see these huge flower buds blossom into such a stunner. This Cafe Au Lait bloom is 7-8 inches wide🤯

In my best David Attenborough: “This is rare footage of the painted lady butterfly taking flight after a huge marigold nectar lunch.” Seriously though, planting a small garden has made my backyard explode with life! Hummingbirds, butterflies, more types of bee than I can count, and a few not-so-welcome critters too. But it’s all so interesting to see!
