Field Notes March 6, 2026

My daughters were inspired by the Olympics in February and asked to take ice skating lessons. We managed to squeeze into the very last session of the year at our local rink. Watching them try something new, and fall down with smiles on their faces, has been a perfect reminder that you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it.

Sometimes the joy is simply in trying.

It felt like the exact reminder I needed this week.

 What beautiful things did you notice this week?

All about growing Bearded Iris. If you want to grow more perennials like Bearded Iris here's the link to my book. 

Grow a Memory Garden.

Currently watching the new Count of Monte Cristo on PBS with my 17 year old son. We're both loving it so far! 

Loving these pants I recently bought.

New recipe I tried this week and all my kids ate it! 

I'm making an Easter playlist to listen to this season. This is one of my favorites right now.

May you notice the beauty in your everyday life this weekend.
