It’s my daily dahlia pic.

This one is “Take Off”. This plant was a late bloomer so I’ll be testing it for another year before selling these tubers.

It’s well past when I should still have dahlias. Took this one yesterday 🍃

The world is on fire and cats make things better. Definitely team #cat over here.

Oooh. I like it. Team mason bees, leaf cutter bees and other native pollinators. 🐝

I think I’m gonna like it here!

I’ve heard we should talk about stuff we want to algorithm to show more of.

I love cats, gardening, dahlias, flowers, clever dogs, mushrooms, progressive politics, Kamala Harris, house plants, knitting, crochet and easy DIY and crafts.

If you do want to set up a wee little 🐝 🏠, mason bees are super pollinators. 139 species native to N America so there’s a regional variety for everyone. They basically take care of themselves, requiring less than $100 in start up costs and very little time from the humans to care for them. 🌱

They are indeed quite…bumbley.

Watching bumblebees passed out taking naps in flowers is one of my favorite things about them.

That’s such a great shot of the northern lights.

This was the best I got. Which really isn’t much given what others in our area were able to capture.

I’m reading/listening to The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter by Theodora Goss.

Kate Reading is one of my favorite audiobook artists and she’s doing such a wonderful job with it. ❤️
