🌱 Little faces smiling brightly in the late morning sun. #bloomscrolling #garden #Zone8b

I'm literally trying to get the word "literally" out of my vocabulary because I often use it figuratively and people misunderstand me.

🌱 It doesn't matter how long I have gardened, every spring I find myself wondering what plants are going to come back after a long winter. Plants can die from the cold. Squirrels can dig them up and damage them. I'm grateful to see many beautiful blooms this year. #bloomscrolling #garden #Zone8b

I hadn’t seen him for weeks, but my little red-breasted nuthatch buddy flew up to my face this morning and demanded breakfast. So glad to know he’s still doing OK. 🌿🪶

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Love it!

The U.S. needs to do a better job regulating factory farming practices. We don't need other countries encouraging cruel practices of over-crowded corporate chicken houses.

First backyard campfire of the season. This is nice. It's been about a year since we had to tear out our built-in fire pit for the septic construction. We'll be using a portable fire bowl from now on.
