I didn’t hear a thing last night because I slept hard but I heard this morning that we had some terrible storms? I wish I could have heard the rain because I do love the sound of rain at night. Today marks day 12 of #30daynaturechallenge. Still going strong!

My pretty gardenia, given to me this spring by my mother, bloomed her fragrant flowers early, then stopped and I thought that was it for this year. I’d bring her indoors before the first frost and hope she blooms next year. I was lucky because yesterday, she graced us with one more bloom and it smells glorious.

Day 4: 30 Days of Nature

*Mystery squash. 4th day of #30DayNatureChallenge.*

Today’s post is a mystery because it’s another one of those spring excitement purchases that I don’t really know what I bought and am growing. Anyone have a clue? I guess that’s a side benefit of my #30DayNatureChallenge - it’s giving me a good reason to check out what I’m growing!
