On Faith Fridays we Vision Cast! ⠀ I'm going to say🗣 it until I see👀 it. My heart is full of ALL the things God has spoken and ALL the things I envision for the Kingdom, my family, the community. ⠀ I see land in my future. With all the bees🐝 and butterflies🦋 that will help pollinate my garden. Hand pollination is too much🙄. ⠀ I know you can't tell everyone all of your dreams. But you can declare the end from the beginning. What's 1 thing you declaring? ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #Therapy #CraftLife #CustomCrafts #Peace #dreams #Vision #Faith #DIYProjects #DIY #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5lEdRB_Jy/?igshid=ju7mms4zpidw

Good morning DC! @marisa_hayes1 reporting for the day! I am a DC native, food tour guide for @carpedc, and garden manager for @oldcityfarm. I'm excited to share my day with you and show you some of my favorite parts of this city. Every morning I start my day with a walk through my garden, this morning I checked on this forest of carrots. . . . #dclife #dmvlife #dmvgarden #dcgarden #dcnative http://ift.tt/2qmOFQq

#MCM - This is my Beloved and he has always believed in me and supported ME🤪. He sat me down over the weekend to write the vision for our next move. I WILL have a homestead one day. I WILL have some chickens 🐓🐤🥚, ducks 🦆🥚, goats 🐐🥛, bees 🐝🍯, and a mega garden🍅🥕🥦🥬🌶. You all WILL come and be a part of it! ⠀ When we were done, I said we're going to need over $2 million to pull this off (sarah laughed) but being the man of faith he is...he said "God got it". Welp let me hush and let him faith on! The big picture is always scary... ⠀ Today, I believe God. One day I will say, "It only happened because I believed God". ⠀ #thelolitaperry #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram #GardenLife https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gwQ_1nX3-/?igshid=1mu426d2x5pfa

Beloved and I are back from sneaking away to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary🥰. We were so caught up in each other, we took only 1 pic while driving down the highway. We were tucked away in the mountains and the views were beautiful with temps in the 60°+ There was plenty of staying up till 3am and waking up at noon. IF you know me, that's insanity. I'm normally up at 3am. But I had a blast not being tied to an alarm clock. But while I was passing through the market I found these berry bush gems❤. I plant something new every year and these made the list! They are the perfect for summoning pollinators 🐝🐝🐝🦋🦋🦋. I have so much to share with you all especially since I missed going live last Wednesday. I must show you indoor plant set up. Stay tuned! #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirlMagic #BlackGirsRock https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_SotvBXKi/?igshid=iek5019gyxjn

I keep staring out the window looking at my empty garden box and redesigning the yard's layout. I'm only growing patio tomatoes 🤞🏾.

Organized my seed collection today✅ ⠀ Notice anything missing? Every gardener experiences a problem child plant. Mine is 🍅. Every year I say I'm not growing them and I try again🤷🏾‍♀️. ⠀ I've broken my own rule of gardening 101: grow the foods you like to eat. I don't even like tomatoes🤦🏾‍♀️ unless it's in my pasta. #NoTomatoGrow2021 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyo4DphbG6/?igshid=dwbs20lvb083

Onion Dehydration Time ⠀ I had a bag of onions that I needed to use quickly. Here's an easy way to make your own onion powder. I sliced up 4 trays worth and put them in the dehydrator @ 140 degree. Yes, skin and all! Once they have dried, I'll pulverize them down to a powder. Walllllahh😘😋. ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #SelfSufficientLife #FutureHomesteader #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CDG1SVBBVU-/?igshid=118oyxh1vc179

God is still the answer. As the old saints used to say "He still makes house calls". In the midst of heartache and despair He will answer. He will send peace. He will make a way. He will restore. Don't stop praying! Don't stop believing! Don't stop pressing! ⠀ 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #Therapy #CraftLife #CustomCrafts #Peace #DIYProjects #DIY #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaq-9SDPv6/?igshid=1d292q3prdzd4

I started with a list of all the hats I wear (wife, mother etc). It became exhausting because it narrated the things I do. ⠀ Then I took a pivot and decided to focus on the things I love because it highlights things that make me feel good, strengthened, special and at peace. ⠀ God, My Beloved, children, grandchildren, parents, friendships, plants and vegetables, homemade canned jams, DIY projects, beach, tent camping, praying hands and mountain views. ⠀ I smiled while making this list being surrounded by strength and love. ⠀ What things make you feel loved and strong? Focus on them. Tends to make the doing more purposeful. ⠀ 🌱 🌱 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #Therapy #CraftLife #CustomCrafts #Peace #DIYProjects #DIY #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLGmfNn5F_/?igshid=1hja7wxel393d
