Hello Reader,

Happy Spring! I hope the sun is shining on you today my friend. If it’s raining, I hope the trees and the gardens are enjoying a nice sip from father sky.

Here in southern Indiana I have been seeing people outside on bicycles, out walking and enjoying the parks. Speaking of outdoors, the farmers market is taking off with our summer hours of 8-12!

At the market the farmers have fresh herbs, salad greens, spinach, radishes and kale. There's always delicious local honey, maple syrup, plus locally raised beef, chicken etc and even raw milk, which my kids love!

🍁Pro tip that a friend just shared with me~ put a little local maple syrup in your farm fresh milk and it’s quite the treat! 🍁

In case you haven’t heard, I closed the doors to Michele’s Apothecary. It was one of the hardest decisions that I’ve ever made. Well, it’s not so much that the decision was hard, but giving up my shop certainly was. I loved having a brick and mortar small business! It made my day when people would come in, say hi, share their joys and troubles with me and let me help them when needed.

I’ll still be doing what I was doing before, I’ll just be doing it from my home and the market again. Many orders have been picked up from my husband’s old blue Toyota truck in the drive over the years, and I think I’ll put an open sign on it. Ha!

All jokes aside, I’m grateful that I can follow my calling, do my heart’s work and take care of my mom. 🙏❤️

Many of you have asked about my mom and I’m happy to say that she is on the mend and I get to pick her up in Birmingham on Sunday! She has been in Florida with family for over a month due to her unexpected hospital stay and was unable to come home. I have been prepping dr appts and our house and I can’t wait to get her stronger and mobile over the summer. She lost so much mobility due to covid and my goal is to have her out of her wheelchair by Christmas!

Wish me luck please! She’s as stubborn as she is sweet! 🤣 We joke about this a lot and I may or may not have inherited this trait. It's also how she's still here and I'm so very grateful. 🥹💖

So what’s next? Lots! I’ve been setting my office back up here at home and I can’t wait to start teaching online again! I have so many ideas! What really matters though, is what do you want? I’m going to list 7 things and if you can reply and tell me which one you might be interested in, or add your own.
