This is my first spring owning a house with my husband, and it is so fun gardening with my husband! My friend gave me the red begonias, and she inspired me to get some more and make a pot or two. Enjoy!
Happy Monday!

Later that day I applied to the teaching job that I landed the next week. Sometimes nature gives us the inspiration we need to push ahead. I’m glad I’ve been able to be a teacher again!
Peace.
