My tomatoes look at the raised bed I put them in and laugh at me. “You think your puny walls can stop us?”

I feel this so much. I’ve been researching for a while and there’s so much language that means nothing. “This matters is a hybrid springform ultra plush cooling foam amalgamation” from a company called SleepyDeepy that’s existed for 82 days and Wired magazine says it’s the best!

I'll be more interested when 40 becomes the new 60 and I can retire to a life of bourbon and gardening.

"Empowered" to make a decision but not given the grace to be wrong is a special kind of stress 😅

I loved this perspective. Reminded of advice Abby Covert gave me during a 1:1 (asked about what to know when starting an IA role). She said an IA is often not the owner of the work & needs to facilitate decisions, not necessarily make them & delay in making them causes the work to stagnate or fail.

Thanks Sarah! And yes, my baking, gardening, and crocheting supplies all looked on in horror as I brought home sheets of leather and stitching paraphernalia. Not to mention my TBR backlog of books.

Sort of resembles an Acanthus. They can be known to spread by rhizomes and propagate from root cuttings so can grow new foliage from any broken roots.

Nothing cheers you up like some morning frostbite while you gaze at the grey Michigan haze in -15° windchill!
