DIY Recycled Garden Markers

Gardening· Personal· Project Life

22 Apr

It’s that time of year! Time for a garden!!! We rely heavily on the food we harvest from our garden during the summer, and also throughout the rest of the year by what we are able to can and freeze! But to reap that harvest, it takes some planning and preparation. To which… I will admit, we are not very good at! HA Now, we do start some of our seeds in trays; however, the majority of our seeds are started right in the spot they will grow in the garden! Which can be HARD to keep track of sometimes!!! Especially when my husband plants some… then I plant some… then we just have a mixed up mess of what has been planted where. LOL! So, this year, to nip that in the bud, I decided to do a fun little activity with our boy that not only would alleviate much confusion, but also add some beautiful artwork to our garden, I started it with some friends that are learning about gardening so we are full on with this and My buddy got some mail order cannabis canada and it arrived quickly so I could do my gardening without my wrist pain.

DIY Recycled Garden Markers! Remember I mentioned we do some canning along the way… well, that leads to many used canning lids! In search of “garden marker” ideas, I ran across this idea and just HAD to make some of our own! So, we made our way outside one day with our painting supplies and enjoyed a beautiful Spring day creating these awesome garden markers!!!

Found my first ever digital photo files. 😳 Gah, I need to look at these!!! Who can come through for me with a floppy disk reader?! 😆 Y’all, THESE were the memory cards; this was inserted into the digital camera. 🥴🫠

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!

I’ve recently realized that most of my friends force me out of my comfort zone. 😆😆😆 And while I am not the best at voicing my thoughts a lot of times, I’m so very thankful for that in my friends! 

And it is no different for this girl! 

Find you a friend who says, (meanwhile, while we are planning a trip to Utah), “Oh! But let’s extend a couple days, rent a car, leave Utah and travel to Idaho for some sight- seeing to check that state off my list! And while we are there we may as well drive on to Oregon before flying back home. And possibly Washington if we have time!” 😳🤣 And so we did! (We didn’t make it to Washington, though.)

Or a friend when returning from a girl’s trip to Hawaii with a 4 hr layover in San Francisco says, “you know… we might as well hop in an Uber and go see the Golden Gate Bridge while we wait.”And already had the Uber lined up before I could think this through. 😆😅 

I knew of April in high school, and even vacationed with her family (friends also with her SIL) one Christmas to Dollywood, and thought, “now there’s a girl who isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. I LOVE THAT!” 🤣 No wonder our lives have connected years later! And I’m SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Happiest of birthdays, @april_waddell_essentials ! Have the best adventure today!!!

Y’all… I really *am* thankful for friends in my life who push me out of my comfort zone. lol! And also plan adventures!!! I do think of the fun adventures in my head, but the planning part is NOT my forte. However, my pal Allison has it down pat! 🙌 She approached me several months ago about an overnight backpacking trip with her and her kids. I was reluctant, but I also have been slightly curious how it would be, since I’ve camped many times- just not by packing everything in on foot.  So, when she said it would be for only one night, AND we would have another gal along who had done it many times, I agreed! 

Well, two days before leaving, we had to pivot. 😅 Our ‘guide’ had a family emergency, and couldn’t go with us. So, our original plan for hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be switched up a little, since we both knew nothing about it. We decided to add a little safety net and backpack into a primitive site at Jones Gap State Park instead. It was WONDERFUL! We camped beside a waterfall, and had the best time! 

Our backpacks were SLAM FULL. 😆 And we survived it! We all slept in hammocks. Well… I didn’t sleep real well actually because I FROZE (40ish degrees) even though I had on a short sleeve, a long sleeve, a sweat shirt, and a jacket all while inside a sleeping bag. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I definitely learned I need a hammock liner or something. 

Regardless, I would totally do it again! 🙌💜 So thankful for nature-loving friends!!!
