Here is a look at my backyard from a previous year. Photo is taken from the top of a berm at the rear of my lot, looking down towards the house. Almost all of this was grass when I moved here. Now it’s almost all cultivated. Things have been rearranged a bit since then but the layout is the same. 🌱💙

News banner now being shown on tv: “New tariffs on lumbar.”

So now they’re going to tax our spines? 🤔 Watch your backs, everyone.

Some of you here on Bsky have told me your actual names and I try to use them. Others of you, with whom I post less often, have told me and I’ve forgotten. Please forgive me. 🙏 If anyone would like me to use their real name when posting (if I’m not already) let me know and I’ll keep a list. 🌸🤗

Hi Michelle! Yes, lots of birds here but they don’t eat these fruits until they’re desperate. Sometimes a flock of cedar waxwings goes through and they feed in this tree for days. Have a good day!

I love that old blue stove! 🩵💙

Thank you! The flowers are big, like large roses, and there are red and orange ones, too. I bought them several years ago and now I can save the bulbs from year to year. They prefer shade, so they brighten up shady spots. 🌳✨🌥️
Is your backyard tree still beautiful?

Such a pretty color of flax!

Good morning and welcome to Tuna Tuesday

One paw forward.
One day at a time.

Some days you conquer the world.
Some days you just conquer the chair.

Which ever you do today, have fun doing it

Today I choose,
To bloom where I'm planted
Understanding,
That
The light comes with the dark,
And the bitter follows the sweet.
Realizing that,
Each day I perceive
A challenge as a molehill
And not a mountain,
I would have grown.

Happy #Chooseday, friends❣️
