I recently acquired a few new fruiting trees for the front garden ... Which is interesting in itself as I have planted a dynamic and winged creature friendly garden in the back of the house and have only recently started to bring that to the front. There's a local hardware store here that has a nursery with a special vibe....it's not advertised as anything different than all the other hardware stores, but the plants feel different there. So today, I was strolling through the plants and waves of warmth, tenderness, and sense of being connected radiated through my being... The people there all seemed to be available with a warm smile and a helping hand. It's amazing to me coming from the place I was feeling earlier this week... The anger and frustration at how things are on society (and in myself) and then to be in a "hard" place and find such sweetness, such connection and upliftment. Just beautiful. <3 Jen

In case I wasn't clear 😊... Connecting to plants and animals and community are what I find uplifting ❤️
