As March Closes, Celebrate our Wins

 

As we approach the end of Women's. History month, I am happy to share women who have been role models or inspired me. Two weeks ago I used the term Shero. Now I want to share a woman many have been inspired by.  Our vice President, Kamala Harris.  She broke the glass ceiling when she was elected.  I am happy to have a woman in the White house.   

Kamala Harris: “I may be the first woman to hold this office. But I won’t be the last.”

 

 

 

 

Panda Wear 2022 Spring line debuts this week.  Exciting and celebratory is how I describe my creation of the pieces in this group. There is a give away on social media so please spread the word.  You have a sneak peak here with this one photo. May the line show the beauty I find in Spring every year.

It has been two years since Daniel Prude tragically  lost his life in Rochester.  I invite everyone to be kind and support our sisters and brothers.   We need to teach history accurately all year.  Support families who have lost loved ones like the Prude Family.  

Say his name,  Daniel Prude.

MLK Day 2022

 Martin Luther King Day

Today Martin Luther King day 2022 I feel hope and optimism about our future.  This past year has shown us the change the new administration, Joe Biden & Kamala Harris have made in this country.  The wrongs that happened in the 2016-2020 time frame can not be fixed in one day or one week.   We all need to take time every day to move our country forward as Mr. King would help us do if he was here.

I wish I could say I understand how the African Americans feel.  It is time we listen. Let our Sisters  take the  lead & show us what we should do to help them.. I know we can fix this and become one nation again.   It will be a process and it will take time.  Be patient and show your love of others now more then ever.

 

 Being the second generation of an immigrant family I empathize with what many are going through right now.

DISCRIMINATION,
POLICE BRUTALITY
& RACISM are  WRONG!

Christmas 2020 is Lonely

They Holiday Season is Very Different.  This has been a difficult post to put up this holiday season.  There are many memes out there if you want to look for them.  My words for how many of us feel .....Isolated, alone, sad, stuck, lonely, angry, disappointed, joy, happy, fear, afraid, scared,  & melencholy 

The rollercoaster of 2020 we have been riding will end soon.  In 26 day we have new Federal leadership to  put our country back on track and to help us rebuild & recover.  Recover from the damage caused not  only by the pandemic but by 4 years of an administration that focused on pulling our country apart.  America is a  great nation because of our diversity. 

BLACK LIVES MATTER

I have said it many time this year and it needs repeating.  Search the below terms

 I Can't Breathe
Black Lives Matter 
and read from fact checked news sources.  . 

I look to the women I have admired and been inspired by over my lifetime.  Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Suana B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, are a few of these women.  the quotes below are ones I belie are great to mediate on.  I believe they will help us move forward in a positive way.  

Harriet Tubman

Every Dream begins with a dreamer.  Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. 

I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty,  having no experience of it. 

 

RBG   Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that leads others to join you.  

Women belong in all the places where decisions are being made.  It shouldn't be that women are the exception.   

 

  

 

Susan B   Susan B. Anthony   

Failure is Impossible

 

No man is good enough to govern and woman without her consent. 

 Hoping my Christmas wish for all will help a few of you to be able to keep the faith.  

 

As a woman and small business owner in New York state, I believe we can come together as a nation and learn from the past.  There is strength from our Foremothers and knowledge we should heed.

International Womens Day

Yesterday was International Women's Day, how did you celebrate?  I reflected on some fantasict women I admire such as Susan B Anthony, Elizabeth Warren, & Kamala Harris.

As we move thru this month, I am beyond excited. It is almost SPRING,  10 MORE DAYS!!! This lettuce from 2017 says it best.



Elizabeth Warren quote,"Choose to fight only righteous fights, because then when things get tough - and they will - you will know that there is only option ahead of you: nevertheless, you must persist "  Her passion is resonating through out these United States of America in the hearts & minds of all of us women. She had the courage to do something some only dream of  run for President of the USA.




As this Mustard in my greenhouse shows, it wants to grow despite the fact it is winter.  The seed was planted last fall and is growing now that it is warm.  I watered it so it can become a full plant &  be large enough for a salad soon.   Followers of this blog know by heart my favorite Susan B quote, " Failure is Impossible "  I feel that here in this green. I did not expect it to have survived the winter but it persisted.

My indoor greens are only sprigs right now.  Three to six weeks  until they can be planted into the veggie garden.  Hopefully the peas can be planted by the end of March like last year.

Uncover Nature's Treasures

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” —Albert Einstein


We use our eyes as one does while on vacation.  We see the flowers and sprigs of nature in  a new way.  As we survey the yard & gardens, we uncover the treasures nature has to show us.

Join us on this adventure:   the next walk you take in a park or garden you like to visit. pretend you have not been there before and look at the space as a visitor would.   I believe you will enjoy the trip and want to bring a friend the next time. Let me know how this changes your day.  

First harvest from the herb garden was part of dinner,  fresh chives.  One fragrant pic to share today.  Headed back to be inspired by the beauty and the scents of the gardens.  Now it is your turn to Uncover Natures Treasures.

Spring Equinox - Garden Reborn

Good day and Happy Spring Equinox. 

Today marks the beginning of spring rebirth in the garden. Several sure signs of spring in my backyard - Robins are back and the rabbit is munching on my plants and lawn.   Yes there is snow melting here in the sunshine. 

Enjoy this small window of my garden a few years ago.  Today daffodil stems are sprouting thru the snow.  We know in no time the yard will be full of the scent of this season.

One of my grandmother favorite flowers is the zinnia.  This is from my garden several
years back.  as any who follow this blog know, we are avid backyard gardeners here in Rochester, NY.  Vegetables and flowers are plentiful in our gardens.

Yes the seeds have been panted for the vegetable garden.  Tomatoes and peppers are sprouted and growing in the warmth of the indoors.  counting the days until we can plants the peas and green outside.  

Memories of a fabulous day on our Vacation last month at the Tucson Gem Shows.
