how did my backyard turn into a flower wonderland this june?

I can’t believe how wild my backyard looks right now. Every time I step outside, it’s like walking into a rainbow. The trick? I started seeds indoors way back in March, even though it felt too early. That head start made all the difference. I mixed sunflowers, zinnias, and cosmos in every corner, so there’s always something new popping up. Watering in the morning has kept everything super happy, and I swear by deadheading—just snipping off old blooms keeps the flowers coming. I love grabbing a handful for the kitchen table. It’s the best feeling to have fresh bouquets all the time. If you’re thinking about a cut flower garden, just go for it. Watching everything grow is pure joy. gardening #flowers #newengland #backyardbliss #gardening #flowers #newengland #backyardbliss

hiking mt. washington: did anyone else get lost up there?

Last weekend, we decided to finally tackle Mt. Washington after hearing so much about the views. We packed our bags, double-checked the weather, and even brought extra snacks (because you know how unpredictable New England weather can be). But here’s the thing: about halfway up, the trail markers just seemed to disappear. We ended up following a group of hikers who looked like they knew what they were doing, but after 20 minutes, we realized we were all just as confused! We laughed about it, but honestly, it was a little nerve-wracking—especially when the wind picked up and the clouds rolled in. Has anyone else had trouble finding their way on Mt. Washington? Did you meet any helpful strangers, or did you end up wandering in circles like we did? I’d love to hear your stories (and maybe your best tips for not getting lost next time). It’s wild how a simple hike can turn into such an adventure—and a little bit of a headache! #mtwashington #hikingadventures #lostandfound #newengland #trailstories #Travel
