I'm myself almost every day! :) Sometimes, I shift a little toward society's norms, and other times I'm off in my own world. Either way, life IS awesome.
Too many of us go around feeling inadequate for one stupid reason or another. We are ALL a bunch of supernovas, if we just take the time to recognize it.
I feel like this often, surrounded by beige squares who try to belittle my sparkle and wear down the points on my stars. Thank you for this reminder! Time to shine! XOXOXOXO
My name is Connie, and I started Hartwood Roses ... an educational rose garden in Virginia that specializes in rare and unusual antique roses. I know a lot about roses, old houses, carpentry and remodeling, and am an expert day dreamer. You will often find me working in the garden, planning a home project, building something, or hanging out in a cemetery ...all of this has come in handy as my husband and I restore our historic home (built in 1848) renovate the outbuildings, and design the gardens. This blog allows me share whatever is happening in the garden, around the house, or on my mind.
Hartwood Roses ... Heirloom Old Garden Roses and More
Hartwood Roses was a small farm nursery, located just north of Fredericksburg, Virginia. The retail portion of the business closed in 2012, and the mission shifted to my true love … speaking to organizations and garden clubs and giving classes to educate budding rose gardeners. The display gardens here contain over 800 different varieties of roses … with emphasis on rare and historic varieties, and popular classics that are well-suited for modern gardens.

ReplyDeleteI did, too! It's a humorous reminder to be who we are, no matter if our sparkly self blinds all those beige people that we encounter.
