Michler's

 

  

Michler's is a great spot in Lexington close to my apartment that everyone raves about, and recently I finally went in for the first time! It's a greenhouse, much bigger than I realized because it extends pretty far back behind the most visible part of its lot. Lot's of cool plants, beautiful arrangements, and very reasonably priced succulents. I found a few cute little additions for my home. :)

At the Garden

 Here's a look at one of my summer jobs!  I am working in this amazing garden, clearing and being caretaker for big terraced beds that are currently overgrown.  It's a man's backyard that overlooks Lake Onalaska, where the bike trail and the train tracks run right nearby, and he doesn't have time to keep up with it all.  Breathing in the air and smell of plant life, and walking away covered in dirt and sweat - it's very mentally and physically satisfying.  The body is made for this kind of labor, you know?

Funny Quote

Did you know Georgia O'Keefe once said, "I hate flowers, I only paint them because they are cheaper than models and they don't move."  Ha!  How funny.  

PS:  These are all flowers I came across in Costa Rica.  The third one down smelled like rotting flesh.

One year ago...

I was wandering around Costa Rica!  I can't believe it's been that long already.  Ahh, I miss it.

Grow Things

I like turning my plants and watching them move back to the light during the week.
