@teatles.bsky.social I saw this exhibit last year but sadly could not find any Teatles; looking through the book just now I spotted one of Ringo from a backstage shot (Xmas Palladium show?). Perhaps there was no tea in the US and they just drank coke in bottles...

1964 Beatles Diary Topps trading card, #5A. I can't find where this (canceled concert in Dublin) was a real thing that happened, shocking that a copywriter would make stuff up. Or maybe I'm mistaken? @beatlespod.bsky.social

an LP of her live recordings from the Buck Owens show, backed up by the Buckaroos, which is fantastic.

Thank you for sending me down the rabbit-hole of Euro and Aussie K-Tel releases, I didn't realize there were so many! 2/2

Weird plant of the day: Fuchsia procumbens, native to New Zealand and super cute! The flowers are tiny, and the first one is just opening. I doubt its hardiness (NZ plants are always hit or miss for me) but couldn't resist. 🌱

The Phacelia 'Bee's Friend' I direct sowed in early spring from seed scavenged at a local seed exchange is blooming! Super easy to grow. 🌱 #FlowersOnFriday

Lychnis 'Orange Gnome' is blooming, same genus as Rose Campion but different flower and foliage color! I like how the edges of the petals look ragged. I'll move it eventually to my parking strip bed because it will probably be happier in the ground.🌱 #FlowerReport

The first time in years the aphids haven't overtaken my honeysuckle before it blooms (did the thick layer of mulch help?). I have been busy cutting off new growth where I'm seeing aphid activity but it might eventually be futile. Enjoying it while I can! 🌱 #FlowerFriday

The Rockets were streamlined diesel trains run by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad; the Rocky Mountain Rocket ran to Chicago with a spur from Colorado Springs from 1939 to 1966. 2/3

Beginning in 1949, the original route was Oakland to Chicago and you could begin in San Francisco by ferry, but it was never a Union Pacific Train (that would be the competing City of San Francisco) and didn't serve Los Angeles. The song is almost the same tune as "Wabash Cannonball" by Roy Acuff.

April means that the violas and various other cool weather loving annuals are looking good right now, and the sun and light is finally returning to the north side of my house! 🌱
(I gave up a long time ago trying to coordinate colors)

I have daffodils in pots on the cold side of the house so they're always late to open. Looking good now though! 🌱

@nathenry.com There's a couple of mature cherry trees (Yoshino?) at 62nd and Aurora on the median right by the highway that aren't on the map. They are amazing! (pics from last year)

Jingle Jangle Morning: The 1960s US Folk-Rock Explosion arrived this week. Oh heck yeah. New 3 CD set from Strawberry/Cherry Red, which I would describe as "up my alley".

A few new primroses and pansies for my spring table display. My local big box store always starts discounting these in March even though they have a lot of life left. I can stop any time I want...
(tip: for primroses look down through the leaves to make sure there's a lot of new buds.) 🌱

Came out of my hibernation to put some pots together, but I need more! Just fantastic gardening weather these past few days. The violas should do well through May, and I'm loving the new (to me) Cascade Sunburst variegated huckleberry. 🌱
