I finally finished piecing this blanket together, weaving in all the loose ends and crocheting a hem around it. It's only taken me 7 years to finish it. #grannysquares #crochet #finishedproject #blanket #whoshavingagirl

Found my first ripe Pear Tomatoe today. These plants came from tomatoes that reseeded last year and surprised me this year. #peartomatoe #urbanfarming #gardening #gardensrunwild #gardeninginthecity #containergarden #backyardbounty #harvest #langley

I picked a bright cheery bouquet of flowers from my garden, to brighten this grey day. I love the variegated look of these. #cosmos #flowers #backyardbounty #gardening #nofilter

Oh this sweet boy! I love him with everything in me. He's finally sleeping and finally "at rest". This afternoon has been one exhausting meltdown after another. It's so hard to watch your child walked around so tense that he snaps at every little stimuli. He doesn't know what's bothering him or causing him to feel like this and he recognizes, after the fact, that his actions are "over the top" and inappropriate and unacceptable. To see him sad and upset at how his actions have hurt others…..but he cant seem to stop or to be able to unwind or calm down. You can tell that he feels out of control and panicked about the whole situation and that the fight or flight mechanism has kicked in, because he does both repeatedly. It's exhausting to hold yourself calm when his reactions have caused harm, but knowing that reacting will only cause the situation to escalate and you can't afford that for anyone. This is a child with a gentle heart who is devastated to find that an impulse reaction may have hurt another individual, but often those impulse reactions can accidentally hurt someone. It's hard to see that even in the middle of the chaos, he is hurting and confused and scared and unable to fully explain what he is feeling and thinking and experiencing. Autism and other Mental Health issues are often called the invisible disabilities because to look at people who struggle…..you may have no visible clues. But that doesn't mean that these are not very real, very exhausting disabilities to live with…..for the person and their loved ones. #theuglysideofautism #autism #jeremyjude #invisibledisabilities #mentalhealth
