Late Winter Succulent pots @ different growth stages & checking on Flower Arrangement from beg. Feb.

1st... Let me address my 'Camera Experiment'... I did not get my self in the Camera lens in the beginning like I wanted to... I'll need to work on that! :D thanks for being here and being willing for me to learn as I go!

The topic today is Self Care & Maintenance ...
and how I'm continually learning how to create self care that nurtures & nourishes me now at this time in my life.... we are continually evolving and growing and developing and so our self care may need a revisit! Perhaps pulling up some of the things that worked in the past or creating something completely new!?! Doing what comes from our Heart can help immensely!
I am constantly learning... it's a practice right!?!...
Today, for some wonderful reason... I was remembering how, when I was taking care of my father's NSAFarm & Botanical Gardens in So California...
...I would roll out of bed... get my coffee & camera... and go see what's happening with the plants in the morning light of the day! felt too good!
so I'm implementing it again! no pruners to work ...just being curious with my camera and Mama Nature in her Glory!

I shot 15,000pics while I was there for 2 years and created a memorial Blog of sorts... (nsafarm.Blogspot.com if your interested...;D)

In the Blog...
I was basically talking to my Dad and showing him what was going on in his Micro-climate & Plant World as I cared for these living nature beings... all the while...
I was Cleaning & refreshing 2 Houses, a Garage & Artist studio & entire Acre of plants he collected and bred for 40+ years.

Why was I there you may ask?
Our father passed into the next world suddenly after a giant
'Rare Fruit Growers' plant sale...
... he brought over 200 potted plants to help with the Chapter's
fund raiser that he belonged to! ( another Story for down the road!)

So... the sad truth was... no matter how wonderful the property was...in the end... my sis and I had to sell the property... because both of us have similar properties of our own in Northern California.
And yes... you're right! us two apples did not fall far from that tree of inspirational fruit!

all that to say that It always made me so happy... me... my camera... and the morning light on the plants was so refreshing!!!
so, I thought I'd try that again to incorporate it into my weekly Self Care Routine ....
you know!?!... it's like a spa treatment for my Body, Mind, Soul & Senses!

So here today I share with you some of my succulent arrangements in different states of growth and how they are doing while I chat about my thoughts on self care...

What are your Self care Habits? got any? wanna start any new ones?

I'd love to hear about them!

Thanks for stoping by today!
Have a fabulous day my Friends...
Love & Hugs from a late Winter Garden of
Innate Beauty...Knowledge & Wisdom :D
