🌱Today’s flower/plant photo is Blanket Flower(Gaillardia aristata), beloved by bees and a cheerful addition to the garden. An added bonus is deer don’t eat it. There is also a tray of Rock Soapwort (Saponaria ocymoides)I was in the midst of planting when this photo was taken.

I really feel like dementia patients with mental illness should not be in charge…of anything. Especially the most powerful military in the world. I’m going to get bagels 🥯 and pounds of cream cheese 🧀. Here is a dandelion and a mushroom with a heart on it. The good stuff.😊🌱🌿🌼🍄🟫
