ridiculous to be thinking about now, but, #Gardeners , I’m looking to replace multiple garden hoses in the Spring and looking for recommendations on flexible no kink hoses that will stand up to heavy use. @joyf.bsky.social @flutterbyflora.bsky.social @cabofun.bsky.social @mariecarnes.bsky.social

I won’t be gardening today, or for a few months 😀 Thank the Lord for the 10 inches of snow, provides much needed moisture and will help insulate the roses from coming bitter temps. Happy Lord’s Day everyone @joyf.bsky.social @cabofun.bsky.social @flutterbyflora.bsky.social @mariecarnes.bsky.social

The genius of Thomas Jefferson illustrated in Declaration of Independence cannot be overstated nor can the contradiction of his thoughts and high ideals be reconciled with his ownership of slaves.
