1. Growing Things is a collage of two photos of two different vegetables I am growing on my balcony: cherry tomatoes & cucumbers. I am using garden growing bags, and they’re doing their job so far.

I said to myself months ago that when I was fully settled in our current apartment, I would start a balcony garden, and so, I did.

I also wanted to do red potatoes, but the planting bundle was damaged in transit. This was perhaps a blessing in disguise because I honestly don’t think I would have been able to manage the potatoes’ upkeep on my balcony space.

Thus, I am awaiting the seeds of carrots and the planting bundle of Brussels sprouts.

After just two weeks of being planted, I have the beginnings of my first ever planted vegetables, and I am truly happy about their progress.

Wish me luck, please!

2. Selma Martin’s Baby is a photo of a fellow WordPress writer’s book, In The Shadow Of Rainbows. I recently read it and I reviewed it via Amazon. Here is what I had to say:

“The author, Selma Martin, brings everything to the table with In The Shadow Of Rainbows. It is a power-packed delightful collection of poetry regarding form, meter, rhyme, scale, and perfectly placed line breaks.

I was taken on so many visually-enhanced journeys as I thumbed through the pages and experienced each poem. I emoted in every way while highlighting and making notes in the margins of certain pages for selected poems. It is a quick read, but one you will be moved to savor. What an excellent reprieve in which to take joy during these trying times!

If you’re looking for a proper escape and a rabbit hole worth falling into, I recommend this book ten times over.”

I thoroughly enjoyed this offering. You will, too, especially if you’re a fan of poetry.
