What a full weekend. Thank goodness for work tomorrow, in some respects – it was a really great couple of days but I badly need some recharge quiet time!

Yesterday was the Green Fair on the Square and I picked up my free plants, huzzah! Bumped into a friend, which was lovely. I also rode a bike to make a smoothie for Kid3 and then Dad and I went to a talk by a local elder about resilience and sustainability from an Indigenous perspective. That was super interesting and fascinating and I would have loved to stay and chat with her for hours.

The rest of the day was errands and busyness. Today was a bit the same but with extra gardening (which was, of course, great). I planted the free plants and also the poor kangaroo paws that I believe have been waiting in their pots since last year 😬 Had to get quite aggressive with the trowel to break up some of the roots... hopefully they cope in the ground OK.

"”Drill, Baby, Drill”, that mantra of destruction and extraction, is an intentional slap in the face to people who value land, life, health, and justice over corporate profits. Well, let’s raise a garden-gloved middle finger in return. I invite you, my friends, my neighbors, my readers, my fellow citizens into a new movement called Plant, Baby, Plant."

It’s the 5th anniversary of the day that @joeyomahoney and I closed on our house. I felt hesitant about homeownership because of the responsibility and because I’d never taken a loan from a bank before. Now, I see it as an enormous privilege and an opportunity to create a microcosm of the world we’d like to see. #EdibleLandscape #NativePlants #Pollinators #RainwaterCollection #Solar #ChipDrop #KillYourLawn #gardening

Happy to help point you to resouces!

Including the stories of how people beat HOAs.

(In Maryland, you can't use an. HOA to prevent native gardening... think there's others too!)

It's incredibly rewarding to plant and/or tend existing patches of #native #plants, and then watch those plants provide #habitat for native #wildlife. #KillYourLawn #Oklahoma #PearlCrescent #Butterfly #ButterflyMilkweed #nectaring #pollinatorgarden #pollinators

New plants in!

Added 3 to types of goldenrod, 2 to types of chokeberry, a mountain laurel, a low red cedar, an iris, a lupine, a pussytoes, an inkberry, sunflowers, and an early meadow rue.
