I'm a transplant from the Big Apple into Florida's sandy soil. That's me having fun posing with a plastic alligator outside a Florida restaurant. The rainbow photo I took in my backyard; it was the best rainbow I've ever seen. 🦩 🌴 🌷 🌱 🦜

We have some new neighbors! 🕊️
A sweet Mourning Dove has built her nest atop a column by our front door.
Sometimes the best reminders to slow down and appreciate Florida’s natural beauty are waiting right outside your door. ❤️

I can't help but wish we'd rethink how we celebrate the 4th of July. What if we celebrated in a way that doesn't come at the expense of wildlife, pets, and our neighbors?
I hope one day we'll celebrate our freedom in a way that shows compassion for ALL the lives we share this world with.

Fireworks
are Torture💥

Cats and dogs often fear fireworks because the loud bangs overwhelm their senses. #dogs

Keep pets indoors.
Play music to mask the bangs.

Ensure pets are microchipped and ID tags are up-to-date.

This Copper Leaf plant froze to the ground this past winter in #Florida. After cutting, at ground level, the dead stalks, it's rejuvenation is a welcome sight. #Fowers #FlowerReport #Shrubs #Gardening

The garden reconciles human art and wild nature, hard work and deep pleasure, spiritual practice and the material world.
It is a magical place because it is not divided.
