This week,I am joining the #amplifymelanatedvoices challenge started by @blackandembodied & @jessicawilson.msrd - please check out their pages to learn more. • From June 1 - June 7th, I will not be sharing any original content, instead I’ll be using this feed and my stories to share the voices of BIPOC activists, authors, business owners, and other creatives and I will be learning and listening about how to become a better ally. #blacklivesmatter
This little ray of weirdo sunshine is 9 years old today! He is my best friend, little buddy, snugglet nugget, Tobi-wan Kenobi. Overall he is a healthy and happy guy, but I know that every single day with a senior bulldog is a gift. I love him to the moon and back, I love him more than all the stars in all the sky. Today we are celebrating with so many watermelon and cucumber snacks, allergy meds, and snuggles. #trollbaby #tobiaswakefield #bulldogsofinstagram #hbd
Home gardening PSA: if you have limited space and aren’t sure what to grow, start with herbs and edible flowers. • Here’s the thing...you can always get beautifully grown produce at a farmers market, and chances are you’ll have a friend/ neighbor who accidentally grows 9 thousand zucchini this summer... The amazing thing about an herb garden is that it will automatically make every dish special... salads, sauces, pasta, eggs, meat, soups, charcuterie board... anything. Plus, if you are headed to a dinner party or house warming, a bundle of freshly picked herbs wrapped in bakers twine is a super charming and easy gift/ gesture. Not to mention that edible flowers are stunning, and often help to control other garden pests!!! (Also just think about how zesty all your food photos will look!) • Right now my cucumber plants Look a hot hot mess (and lets be honest, they have looked that way for the past 5 growing seasons) but my edible flowers and herbs are currently the life of the party... they don’t require a ton of attention/ care and many of them come back year after year. #themoreyouknow #thankyouforcomingtomytedtalk #edibleflowers #gardenpsa #butwhycantigrowcucumbers #salad #weeknightdinner #dinnerforone #mylifeinquarantine
Walked to @flagandwire for a morning coffee meeting/ to pick up some beans and then stopped by @mcminnvillefarmersmarket to pick up some weekly bounty! Fresh peonies, strawberries, carrots, a few cucumber plants some scrumptious pastries and a CBD tincture. The walk home was a little warm, but I have no complaints on this beautiful Thursday! #farmfresh #farmersmarket #lovewhereyoulive #visitmcminnville #mcminnvillerootsrundeep #macdowntown #supportlocalfarmers #supportlocalbusiness #mcminnvilleoregon #getoutside #safesocialdistancing #wearamask #washyourhands
First time on my mat since Joshua Tree. 😮 I just haven’t had it in me with everything else going on... but I could feel the desire & creativity coming back today & it was fun to play a little bit. My chaturanga muscles are in hibernation & full disclosure I got a bit winded after 20 minutes, but the muscle memory is there, and the rest will come back in due time. #yoga #practice #onthemat #reawaken #perfectlyflawed
