    Gardening

    @DharmaGirl your cottage garden sounds dreamy! I relate strongly to the tragedy of seeing plants discarded. My own parents cut down multiple fruit trees at a house we moved into—and the reason? “You have to prune them.” 😳 First of all you *don’t* HAVE to prune them! Second… 😩 And when I...

    This is the kind of day…

    This is the kind of night for rearranging furniture and picture frames while listening to loud-ish music because you watched a Dear Modern video while trying to settle down for bed.

    Ask a foreigner
