Here, I share stories—some sweet, some bittersweet, always sincere. Expect reflections on life’s odd little details, memories that linger like favorite songs, and glimpses of joy where you least expect it. I write about what blooms on the edges: a weathered hammer with a story, the stubborn joy of a prickly pear, the quiet grief of loss, and the unexpected sparks of hope and humor found in ordinary days.
This blog is part journal, part scrapbook, part love letter to the quiet magic of everyday life.
I’m not here to shout; I’m here to notice. And if you’re someone who sees magic in the mundane or has ever felt a little out of place yet deeply rooted, I think you’ll feel right at home.
Pull up a chair. Stay a while. Read a post or two. Leave a comment if something resonates. There’s room for you in the garden.
