“An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.” – David Attenborough

Happy Earth Day! I hope the weather is lovely wherever you may be reading this and that you take time to get outside, even just 5 minutes can be enough to change your outlook on the day.

1. Sleeping in – Most days I’m up by 6:30am, but today when my alarm went off I listened to my body telling me I needed more sleep and I slept until 8:30. I know this is a luxury not afforded to most people, I mean, I couldn’t have slept that late any other day this week. But today I was able to just sleep until I was done and it felt really good to wake up on my own.
2. Plants and propagation – I spotted a little peperomia while I was at Target this week and decided to bring it home. I love bringing new plants into my house because it forces me to take stock of all of my other plants and move things around to fit better. This week that also spurred on some new propagation attempts! Excited to see if I can get some new little plant babies to root in the next couple weeks. It’s been awhile since I had a full propagation station going.
3. Sticky bug traps – Speaking of plants, I’ve been having some issues with fungus gnats. I saw someone on instagram recommend these and decided to try them out. OMG. They have caught so many more little bugs than I thought were there! Highly recommend. I will say if I have to repurchase I will look for them at my local nursery because I am trying to be less reliant on Amazon for things…
4. Upcoming work travel – Once upon a time I had a job where I traveled all the time and it got really old. Then I changed to a job where I had very little travel and it was lovely. Then the pandemic hit and I didn’t get on an airplane for over a year! Anyway, I have some work travel coming up and I’m actually looking forward to it! I also can’t complain about getting some points action with Southwest and Marriott.
5. Baseball game – Tyler and I got to go to a Rockies game last weekend and even though they didn’t play very well, it’s always a fun experience to go to a live sports game! The weather was pretty nice and we ate frozen lemonades, hot dogs, and ice cream! Rockies lost the game, but we had a good time.
