herbs, succulents, annuals, perennials, even trees.\u00a0 They are a small but powerful reminder to me of how incredible Earth is.\u00a0 And I get to have the pleasure of growing a piece of that earth in my home and right outside my front door.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve always wondered what it would be like to live in a different state with a different climate, but after each trip or vacation, when the plane lands in Michigan, I am filled with a sense of peace and contentment.\u00a0 I am home.\u00a0 There are things I could definitely go without &#8211; mosquitos and gray winters to name just a few.\u00a0 But I still love my Michigan and its seasonal changes that bring exquisite unique beauty.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t intend to go off on how much I love living here&#8230;
