Someone called those newer Christmas tree collars (like the alternative to a tree skirt) a tree prison, and now that's all I can think of whenever I see them

Anyway, I'm in need of a tree skirt. Maybe even a tree prison.

It was very thoughtful of these calendulas (which reseeded themselves) to grow in a perfect gradient 💛🧡💚 #bloomscrolling

Last night I visited the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial and it really affected me. We've come so far, only to regress nearly as much. #america #dc

This is a paint-n-sip design I put together last year, slightly tweaked for classes this month. I don't see side-by-side comparisons of my own skill progression very often! #paintnsip #acrylicpainting #art
2 canvases next to each other with the same painted design of a campfire surrounded by trees at night. The canvas on the right is from 2024 and the canvas on the left is from 2025. The new version features a slightly darker sky and more vibrant flames/light from the fire in the center. A close-up of the newer version. The sky takes up 50% of the canvas and the fire is in the center of the bottom half, surrounded by trees. There are white dots representing stars in the sky.

This rose bush is called Life of the Party 🥳 It blooms a soft buttery yellow before aging out to pink and white. It is the first rose to bloom in my garden! #bloomscrolling #gardening

My spring babies are waking up 💚🌱 #bloomscrolling
a flower bed full of multicolor pansies and violas 5 small phlox plants with light blue-purple flowers in bloom. The variety is "emerald blue" A prairie flax plant in bloom with small blue flowers. I love this plant because it reblooms every morning and drops its petals by late afternoon. The ground becomes a carpet of blue petals! My very first daffodil ever! It is yellow with more ruffled petals than a classic variety.

I instructed a "mini canvas" event yesterday, during which each painter was given 4 small canvases. There were over 50 painters, so I instructed on an oversized canvas, divided into 4 sections.

I think I'll actually finish and keep it! A peaceful addition to our walls ☺️ #acrylicpainting #paintnsip
a photo of a canvas, painted to look like orange koi fish in a blue-green lily pond. The design is divided into 4 sections with an inch of space between each section. The edges are unfinished and the design was painted while instructing. a photo of the painting event, with 4 rows of tables and people painting their mini canvases. my easel is at the front of the room with the large canvas mid-progress
