A New Blog, But Same Content

A random photo of my strawberry starts I have going.

The other day, I deleted my blog.  I felt I didn't want to do it anymore.  Then I realized I need an outlet for my thoughts and my journey.  

I guess the re-emergence of Facebook into my life, kind of put a damper on my desire to write and share what we do.  But in the last several months of being on Facebook, I felt like there was an inner struggle that isn't present when I am NOT on social media.  I finally got to the point I realized that I don't need social media to feel validated. 

Do I need to blog?  No.  Which is why I deleted my blog.  I don't want to come across as if I am trying to teach something.  I don't want to present my life and journey as though I am showing off, either.  

I am glad I saved all my data from the last blog, because I was able to load it up to a new blog and pick up where I left off.  

So where are we now?  

Still in the midst of gardening.  A lot of it has died.  The main garden has been over run with weeds and pests.  The front garden has been replanted and seedlings are already emerging.  My brain is whirling as I try to figure out how to make the main garden more manageable, while not losing valuable space.  

I have begun a new garden, which will be low maintenance, but will provide medicinal herbs that can regrow on their own.  So far, I have mullein, wooly lamb's ear, and yarrow planted in it.  I plan to dig up my comfrey and put it in there as well.  

At any rate, I don't want to sit here and write a long blog about "blah, blah, blah", but just want you to know I am still here.
