your day has been blessed by this monarch butterfly (on zinnia ‘polar bear’, a real workhorse)

October first in the garden: the dahlias are riotous, there are more cosmos than I can pick, the marigolds have blanketed the place, the bees are having a party on the fuzzy mistflower surface, all is huge and messy and glorious and it’s time to order dahlia tubers and bare root roses

he's a very milky keir!!!!!

Kristin Grogan @kristingrogan.bsky.social · 8d

my theory has always been that keir starmer drinks too much milk, is a very milky boy, and possibly some of these photos show a milk-addicted man who has not had enough milk recently
