Welcome to Litsy!

#MidwinterSolace

I've just been for a mindful bimble around my garden. We have blue skies, and it's warmer than the last few weeks. My hellebores are magnificent this year. 😍 Is there a prettier winter flower?

How are you doing today?

Does this count as a book, because I have been reading the crap out of this seed catalogue?!

If you love flowers and want to grow them (or like me, just look at pretty pictures of them) this book is for you. It‘s a sumptuous #ChronicleBooks publication.

Here‘s author Erin describing the Floret books: https://youtu.be/3Ajm8noh8BU?si=jFPsDATJeEcqnBzl

Erin is a nerd at heart — her first autumn task is to take notes! That‘s why her books and videos appeal to the #armchairgardener in me. Plus, the abundance of beauty!

For a treat, I recommend the Floret Farm Journal on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLORP5H1hcHLncqPYJkIErSCRFn9Vn0Tp3&si=cO_LUrSA...

I am an #armchairgardener — I fell in love with #FloretFarm from watching their series #GrowingFloret. Erin has gorgeous books and Floret maintains a YouTube channel with beautiful videos chock full of flowers, seeds, trees, and beauty. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Today‘s unstaged #shelfie 🫶🏼 — You can tell hurricane prep hasn't been put away 🤪

My mom got me the most gorgeous flowers!!

One more from my visit to the strawberry farm this past weekend. 🌻

sunflowers swaying
in the breeze, faint whiffs of a
bonfire waft by.

Field of zinnias at the strawberry farm yesterday. 🌺 #beautybreak

Wow! What a phenomenal YA fantasy!

First off, the blend of Hamlet, the Tudors, and deadly flowers were an amazing combination. It all worked together perfectly. It had a gothic feel with a touch of horror. I loved it!

Let‘s take a moment to talk about the grave flowers themselves. These killer flowers had a life of their own and were so fascinating.
