Our Garden

Planting tomatoes this week in our little truck…there is nothing that smells better in the springtime than digging in the garden. Looking forward to watching it grow this summer. We filled our truck with better boys, early girls, cherry tomatoes, french marigolds, jalapeños, potato vine to trail over, sweet Basil, and mexican feather grass so fun!
“The old woman had been bent over a patch of heirloom tomatoes, their aroma seeping up into the air, making indiscernible patterns on the sky.”-The Girl with Dragonfly Wings.

Burn the Saint Joan of Arc candle with the intention to dwell in possibility. Let the fragrance of smooth Jasmine and warm Oud be a reminder that you can go as far as your mind lets you. Saint Joan of Arc is a heroine remembered for her courage and fearless pursuit of her destiny. Born as a peasant girl in 1412, Joan knew from an early age that she was destined for greatness. Around age twelve, she began receiving messages from the Divine, urging her to lead a pious life as the designated savior of France. By eighteen, Joan successfully led the French army in a victory which enabled King Charles VII to be crowned king once more, saving France from English takeover. Joan was at King Charles VII's side and remained an important leader of the French army until her capture and ultimate death. After Joan's death, King Charles VII ordered an investigation that declared Joan of Arc to be officially innocent of all charges and designated a martyr.
