That was my last degree. Now I just get to do CEs for the rest of my life, 😆

Thank you to my spouse for supporting and staying married to me through two intense medical programs.

Thank you to my family and friends who cheered 📣 me on and told me not to quit when I didn't think I could keep going.

Thank you to
for the live stream so my mom who is too disabled to travel could watch from ID. Also, thank you for my education. I had some incredible professors.

After finding the fuchsia 💐 nectar in one of my favorite neighborhood gardens this needed a rest.

I hope you can rest when you need to, also. I know messed up social constructs and upside down economics make that difficult, but if you do get the chance don't feel bad about taking it.

BTW- Tomatoes have lycopene. It's good for prostate health among other things. There, now I can call this a natural medicine post.

We all have those days.
What do you do when you don't want to do anything but go back to bed?
😒
▪︎I do my best to remember that everything will be ok no matter what, even if I don't like how it turns out.
▪︎I do my best to keep my mouth shut, listen to my higher power, and not be a dick.
▪︎I look for ways to be of maximum service to others.

After, we went down to the end of the and picked up some fresh , , and (we already shuked and ate the oysters). We paired it with some roasted .

One of the oysters had an unfinished pearl (pic 3)!

I have been cultivating this iris for 3 years. 🕰 It was already in the ground when we moved in, so I never knew what it looked like. ❔ At one point I almost gave up and was going to dig it out. ⛏ It was only leaves-- until this year...
😮
This first bud opened overnight. I was in awe when I went out to water this morning. Such beauty. 🦄 There are 5 more buds that will open in the next few days. All of my effort was absolutely worth it. 👩‍🌾

There are so many correlations between gardening and health. What are some that you have learned?
