I told @jackpattillo, “I would die for Gronko [Grogu],” and this is what Christmas looked like. p.s. I absolutely love my crocs for gardening: let people like things. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZBMKzJAdi/?igshid=w2v4y49ewe1b

‪THANK YOU for all of the wonderful and thoughtful and kind birthday wishes. I’m struggling to express how much your words have uplifted me and made me feel so loved. I am so grateful for the time y’all took to send them. Thanks for making my world feel so much less sucky 😭❤️‬ .... These photos are from today when @kat.t.dooley surprised me with drive-by visits from her and my loves, @warpek, @imperialisticblue, @nessanichelle, @nenreaper, and @hihellohannah ❤️. It started pouring rain but I was so surprised that I only grabbed my gardening hat when I ran out, rather than an umbrella or raincoat 😂. It was so worth it. I am so, so lucky. ... Last photo is @jackpattillo’s birthday gift to me. I love- I love- I love it. He is a goodun 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNpb_TJ59G/?igshid=equqe3e5peuh

An immensely helpful resource for us when having conversations with our friends and family. Created by @ohilyssa (thank you — this is hugely helpful!). https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEEU0eJ4GF/?igshid=nhblvez5jd96

If you’ve been feeling as helpless as me in this very overwhelming but necessary transition we are all in, @starstrickensf has been busting her butt to create this constantly evolving document with Anti-Racist Resources. It’s not enough for us to consider ourselves not racist — we must be anti-racist in order to truly support the Black community and PoC. Education makes us more comfortable with action, so that is a huge start, but action IS necessary. We cannot sit on the side lines and hope the protesters and the Black folk fighting on the front lines will sort this out, because without us they can’t. All I ask is that you please look at this guide and pick something, some way you can help. Thank you for reading this and again, please follow Black accounts and listen to Black voices (even and especially when it’s hard to hear what they’re saying). https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBpPAhJ4u5/?igshid=24bllvmufk9

When you just want to have fun in the sun but it’s overcast so you wear your outfit for two days in a row and then when the sun comes out it’s too hot so you take it off and ouch now you’re sunburnt. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgvH1-J3jp/?igshid=2zhpqaqf79kc

Me: rethinking every choice I have ever made that led me to the foul mood I was in yesterday having to film this thing for a class I should be doing really well in but am somehow only barely on the precipice of an A-. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SwnrJn0Sb/?igshid=m9ruboh362f5

Yesterday, inspired by @thewildpine, we went for a walk for the first time in months. It was sooo lovely. I discovered the big reservoir behind our neighbourhood is full of wildflowers, and I found a pasture thistle that blew my mind. Naturally, I went back today, armed with a weeding tool my grandmother and mother used to use, and I uprooted a few wildflowers for the wildlife patch in my back garden. I also took a dead thistle head to see if I could collect seeds to try to grow it in a pot. On the way back yesterday, I passed a neighbour whose dew berries I nick, so I asked him for permission this time. He did one better and today left me out two baby dew berry vines he had in his backyard. Best part? They’re native to central Texas! So overall, I’m pretty stoked I left the house the past two days. We maintained safe social distances but were still able to enjoy shared spaces, and now I have two dew berry vines and some wildflowers in my big-friendly wild patch. ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B_G48XeJ-8B/?igshid=1nh3nki8gq9lo

We finally did it. Our trellis is complete, and my climbing roses have been planted and are in training. This has been 1 year in the planning and 8 months in the works, but it’s finally finished. We are so excited! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Bke2_pk8R/?igshid=cvwd5eb2lv4k

Happy St. Paddy’s Day! Here is my #Ireland experience. First I boogied at Trinity College, then I met THE Oscar Wilde, hung out in a giant’s park, visited the writers museum, and went hiking in Howth. I also did many other things, but somehow also not enough things. OH WELL guess I’ll just have to go back 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B928C-Fpjnb/?igshid=nf2uonrzx9ug

‪Just got an email that my classes have all been moved to online and @utaustintx is closing it’s campus for the semester. Times feel very scary, but I’m focussing on the rain, my beautiful husband, and our work in the garden. ‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/B92mN_vp_-q/?igshid=mgf5r7oxipgv
