This is amazing.. 👌 🎥 IG: davidmbird #Animals #Pets #Wonderful

The promise of buds in the springtime! Kinda makes you forget about possible smoke, hail, drought, diseases, pests…and just focus on now, this beautiful time. Strawberry, penstemon, milkweed, grapes in my garden this morning. 💙🌱 Have a sweet day with flowers in it.

Hi Bluesky friends! 💙 The borage has grown since the last time I posted a photo of it. May 13 compared to June 5. I’ll be doing a first-cutting soon, leaving half the row to flower for the pollinators. The harvested plants will be used for mulch to improve my garden soil. Several cuttings/yr. 🌱

Hi Bluesky! The storms have departed, it’s a beautiful day in the low 70’s. Especially nice if you favor yellow sky, air that smells like the Industrial Revolution, tropical humidity and emerging mosquitoes. Hey, it’s all good, we take what comes, find our joy. 🌱💙 Baptisia buds today. Be well.

Have you ever been outside working in your garden, transplanting or sowing seeds or something, and you know that rain is due to arrive any minute, and you think, oh boy, I have to hurry up and get things watered before it rains? Happens to me all the time. 🤪🌱💙 Some happy chives flowers today.

Scenes from Saturday’s Resistance. 💙💛 Things are just getting worse and although it’s discouraging, we can’t quit! Our democracy, our national security, our way of life, the health and safety of our citizens, science, are all on the line. #Resist #Indivisible #NoKings #HandsOff @maddow.msnbc.com

Major victory for Ukraine under operation Web, 41 Russian strategic aircraft including nuclear bombers have been destroyed by FPV drones secretly smuggled deep into Russia and launched from concealed containers. Billions in losses for Russia.

It’s demonstration day! Typically I see people out there who are disabled, very old, needing assistance but still showing up. Let’s do whatever we can, big things or small things, to help save our country. All hands on deck! . #resist #indivisible #HandsOff #NoKings

Happy Friday!

Milkweed plants have invaded my peas. Oh, well, they can stay and maybe I’ll have a nice crop of monarchs. Food for the soul as well as for the body. 🦋🌱💙

Hi Bluesky! A pretty iris from a previous year. This year, plants are lagging behind because of very cold May. But the cool weather has benefited other crops so we take it as it comes. As if we had a choice (yes, Mother Nature, I hear your voice in my ear). 🌱

Folks don’t miss a beat 😂
