Serial volunteer. Gardening somewhere off the AT. There's some cats. And a dog. I'm pretty terrible at these bios

The Ren Faire was so fun! I was so happy it was cool enough to wear my cloak and that the rain held off until the final joust

Gotta tell you how happy it makes me that folks call you instead of turning to violence

Hate to "heart" this, but ykwim. My "anxiety" was cut dramatically by starting bp meds; turns out I'm only partly anxious w/ not high (very high for me tho) for most people bp. The gut/vasovagal turned out to be a very bad gallbladder

Happy Friday back at ya! We had a light frost here overnight too. Thankfully, the deer ate my entire garden to the ground so I had minimal clean up lolsob (I blame the drought)

Laura @flaurafauna.bsky.social · 11d

It IS lovely!

Little Lemmy is now 6 pounds! She seems very happy that I'm off on this chilly morning.

Lemmy was spayed this week, which cut her chaos back a bit

Cake was fantastic! No photos allowed, so here's the venue. And no, I didn't even try to win the tree since I just got 15 to plant lol

Thanks, @thebandcake.bsky.social !!!

Breathtaking!

I'd be in deep trouble if I had a pickup and $2k lol

For #fridayflowers I present to you the bigger picture. Early this year, we had the rotting deck removed, exposing a patch of bare earth. With no funds for a new deck, I threw flower seeds there. It poured the next day, washing a bunch of seeds away, but overall, I'm pleased.
10/10 will do again

Sometimes, I miss living in the city. Public transportation is amazing
