Leave seed heads from #nativeplants like daisies and goldenrods & leave dead annual plants with hollow stems to provide overwinter habitat for her insect friends. If you must clear leaves, leave them in a corner for #invert friends. 🌱

Are they saying her albums won’t win on merit alone??

Ooohh…it’s on - a real dance battle!!

Sometimes I still think about a talk I attended a few years ago where I learned that much of our river flooding problems could have been avoided with the preservation of natural grasslands.

Happy Kansas Day to all of my Kansans out there on Bluesky. Whether you live here now or have lived here in the past, you are part of the state’s history! #HomeOnTheRange

It’s the Year of the Snake you say? How appropriate…

Oh, imagine if penguins made good pets. Imagine if we could walk them!! But alas…

She painted most of this in her dining room!

My daughter’s Girl Scouts troop is having an 80s party tonight! My husband helped her pick out the outfit, and I’d say he understood the assignment! #80s #Retro

Okay #kubball fans…what is the deal with Hunter? Does he have an attitude? Does he ignore what he should be doing? You would think a 7’ player should spend most games ready to rebound under the basket!

Coffee ✅ Motivation……

🧵This is so cool! When I first watched the video at my feeder, I thought the bluebird was banging the nut on the wood. Then I realized the nut never makes contact with the wood. And I thought what the heck?
