Anyone else get that instant “whoa, I’m getting old” feeling? 🤔

Yesterday evening my mom and I walked down to the old Christmas tree farm down the street from their house, and WHOA seeing these massive trees that I remember being planted... wild. 🤯

🤣 Feeling like I’ve aged about a hundred years in the blink of an eye. 👵

My heart is full! 🥰
Today was a beautiful example of community spirit in action. A fantastic group of 32 adults and youth dedicated their time to clean up Foster Road, collecting over 27 bags of trash from 52nd stretching towards 72nd in just 2 hours!
What an incredible turnout, especially with so many spontaneous volunteers!

This was my first time hosting a event and it went wonderfully, and I’m so grateful. 🙏
Huge thanks to the amazing .coffee for their generous hospitality, and to , , and for their help promoting the even and invaluable support.

Together, we removed approximately 215lbs of litter, making our community even more beautiful.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who participated.
I’m already looking forward to the next one! 🌱

Nothing beats a beautiful afternoon spent swaying in the hammock! 😌
It’s a little breezy and cool out, so I’ve got my trusty blanket and jacket on. Completely shaded from the sun with a comfy pillow – pure heaven! ☁️
This nap was seriously the most relaxing.

Hammock lovers, where you at? 👇

“It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood...” and we take that to heart! ☀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

This morning’s adventure involved a lovely walk, topping up our own little free library with some great reads 📚, adding fresh tennis balls to our doggie library for happy pups 🎾🐶, making sure there are plenty of treats for you to give the “Spice Girl” chickens 🐔🍬, and then heading down the street to spread the love by refilling TWO more little free libraries with books 🦸‍♂️📖, plus a visit to add some comics at the comic book cottage and refresh the treats at the neighborhood dog treat box!

It’s such a joy to be neighborly in this amazing community and on such a pretty day.

Won’t you be my neighbor? 😊🏘️

One of the best parts of springtime is witnessing our stunning bright pink Flowering Dogwood tree burst into bloom! 💖

It’s a bit of a secret treasure in the “way back” portion of our yard, unseen by most, but it brings so much joy to us and our guests.

Wishing you a wonderful spring filled with gorgeous blossoms!🌳🌸

Green thumbs, listen up! 🌱
Ever wonder what to do with those potting soil bags, nursery pots, and plant tags after a sunny day in the garden? 🤔
You might be surprised what can be recycled! 😉

➡️ Potting Soil Bags (or bark/paver sand/etc):
Not in your curbside bin (that causes tangling in the machines!), but third-party recyclers like Ridwell take them and that’s what we do here at the Rhone Street Recycle Station…(Remember- clean & dry!).

➡️ Round Nursery Pots (>6oz): Blue curbside bin!

➡️ Non-Round Nursery Pots (numbers 2, 4, 5 & 6): Bring ‘em clean & dry to Rhone Street! (Remember - No black # 1’s here 😔).
Good news: Home Depot recycles ALL nursery pots! 🎉

➡️ Plant Tags (with #): Check for a number!
# 2, # 4, or # 5? Clean & dry, bring them here, we will recycle them with James Recycling!

The more you know, the better we can recycle! 💪 Happy gardening and happy recycling! 💚

Why is the current artwork by on display at the so important to see?

Because it fearlessly explores “Joy as an Act of Rebellion” in a way that resonates deeply with our current times. ’s art doesn’t shy away from the realities of suffering, but rather uses the deliberate embrace of vibrant colors and positive emotions as a form of defiance, self-care, and a call to build a more connected and resilient community. It’s a powerful statement against the current powers that seek to divide us and diminish our human spirit.

What does “joy as rebellion” evoke in you when you see this art? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

And more importantly, go experience ’s impactful work!

Let’s engage with art and let’s engage with each other, strengthening our communities.

Lost in the kaleidoscope of Spring colors! ✨🌈

There’s something so magical about this time of year, watching nature awaken in every shade imaginable.
The renewal is palpable, even if my sinuses aren’t always thrilled about it! 😉

Thankfully, a little allergy medication helps keep me focused on the incredible feeling of hope and possibility that comes with all this new life. 🌱🌷

The annual Cherry Blossom watch has begun! 🌸

It’s amazing how much the timing can vary.
Last year, on this exact day, our tree was a cloud of pink! This year, we’re still waiting.

I love documenting the bloom times of all my flowering trees – it’s a little yearly project of mine, and a beautiful reminder of nature’s rhythms.
From late February to mid-April, it’s always a delightful surprise. 💖

Anyone else keeping a blossom journal?
What’s your favorite sign of Spring??

Recycling reality check! 😬
Today at the Rhone Street Recycle Station, we had a bit of a drop-off and item sorting snafu. ♻️

About two dozen items ended up being put in the wrong bins – # 6’s in the # 1’s bin, # 1’s in the # 5’s bin, you know the drill! 🔄

There were nineteen #1/PET items today that should simply have gone curbside in Portland! 📦
Remember, round containers over 6oz or bottleneck bottles over 6oz…curbside is your friend! 😉
Rinse and toss! 💧

Plus, 11 items were just straight-up trash! 🗑️
Food-soiled foil, an old gift card, a tray moisture liner, paper scraps, and (not compostable in our Portland system) 😩.

Extra work to sort out, but I’m here to help!
I know mistakes happen, it’s how we learn! 📚

Got recycling questions? DM me! 🤗
And don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter for tips and tricks here at the Recycle Station AND curbside! 💌

Pro tip: Pre-sort your recyclables at home in reusable grocery bags…it makes sorting here at the waystation a breeze. 👍

Let’s keep working together to reduce plastic waste in Portland! 🌍

Absolutely mesmerized by the stunning colors and patterns of our chicken eggs! 🌈🥚

It’s incredible how fascinating these creatures are. They’re so often misunderstood, but chickens are actually incredibly smart! 🧠

Turmeric, one of our rescue hens (we believe she’s an Easter Egger breed!). Her green legs and earlobes hint at those gorgeous greenish eggs she’s been laying since 2022.🐓

How cool is it that the shade even changes, sometimes even with a hint of pink?! ✨💚💖

17/03/2025

Feeling strong Spring vibes! ✨

Our old cherry tree stump is now home to gorgeous turkey tails, and the forsythia, flowering red currant, quince and blueberries are blooming beautifully. 😍

We’re also busy prepping our new front yard garden beds – today the boy helped me by using the angle grinder to cut the arbor for pumpkins and yummy sugar snap peas! 🌱
