I have a serious case of spring fever…except now it’s summer, so I really have no excuse! It’s not that I’m uninspired, but what I’m inspired to do is go outside, play with my son at the park, maybe even go swimming if it’s hot enough.

succulent from my garden

I’m a hopeless gardener, but I love gardens, so I maintain a few succulent plants (like the one pictured above). Right now the weather is so nice, I’m tempted to go out and plant a garden, but…any plant that needs more care than a succulent is a major challenge for me! Luckily my mom is a master gardener, and lives close enough that I get to benefit from her green thumb – right now, she has more rip boysenberries than she can keep up with, despite making jam and cobblers, and her fruit trees and vegetable garden will be producing all kinds of fresh, organic treats in the next couple of months. And my house came with a few mature fruit trees, so we have lemons almost year-round, and in the next few days, we’ll have about 500 ripe plums – hopefully I will manage to pick them before they fall!

Hope you are all enjoying the same kind of tempting weather wherever you are! I love this time of year. Remember to check out Monday’s Muse for more posts about inspiration!
