Women's History Month 2022

My questions for you this year:

1. How will Women's history month change how you do business?
2. Who are your role models?  
3. How do you inspire others?   

Sheroes who Inspire Me 

Two women who have inspired me are Sharon Nelson and Irma McClaurin. I could attempt write short biographies about them but that would be almost impossible.  My focus is on them as Sheroes.  I met Sharon in the summer of 2018, about 3.5 years ago. It feels like I have know her for much longer.  She  has a tenacity and spirit I instantly connected with.   It is rare to meet a women and know you will be friends. My favorite program is the Candidate Training Class. 

 Sharon Nelson

 

I met Irma McClaurin in 2019.  She was co chair of Seneca Falls Revisited: Womens Equality Weekend  in Rochester in 2018.  I attended the conference but did not personal meet her until the 2019 event in Saratoga Springs.  She is a leader, visionary, and fantastic lady. Take time and read some of the incredible things she has written.  Stop, take the time, & broaden your mind.

Garden Design Week 2022

My favorite day is the 1st day digging into the dirt in my garden for the the initial pea seeds of the season. It is about 2 months away.  I am preparing for the 2022 Veggie garden, and will work on design through this week  Enjoying the pile of seed catalogs from my mailbox & the many choices.  

 

Big Change for 2022 is not having Tomatoes in the vegetable garden.   We have an issue and will
solarize to remove it in the garden.  

My garden has some outdoor residents.  This is one of them.  She eats my weeds in the lawn in the warm weather.  Her favorites are clover and dandelion leaves.  As an avid gardener, we have dealt with visitors for over 15 years.  We have a 7 foot seasonal fence around the vegetable garden to keep our veggies for the people not the outdoor guests.  as winter has set in here she is frequently uncovering some of my plants and enjoying the dead parts of them for her meals. Most are perennials which regrow from the roots every year so no permanent damage. We have a compost pile which is great for garden fertilizer every spring.
