I snapped this yellow beauty the other day at Monte Sano State Park, southeast US. I have tentatively identified is as goldenrod, although not one of the more common varieties of it found in our area. #flowerfriday #floralfriday #bloomscrolling #flowers #gardens

I macerated fresh peaches in sugar (cut them up, top with sugar, and let them sit to draw out the juices. A squeeze of lemon juice keeps them from turning brown.). Then, mix up some vanilla pudding, throw it all together, and top with whipped cream. 🍜 #food #peaches #pudding #dessert #freshfruit

Since WWI, red poppies have been worn as a show of respect and remembrance of our soldiers who died in combat. Memorial Day is to honor that sacrifice.

My daughter cooked to celebrate Mother's Day today. She made Red Coconut Chicken Curry with Rice. This was the first recipe I remember her duplicating after she ate it at a restaurant. She nailed it from the start. #SundayDinner #FoodSky #Cooksky #Foodie #MothersDay #Curry 🍽️

Everybody who grew up where I did, on Pea Ridge, loved May Day Festivals. Reminiscing, I went looking for pictures of the Maypole dance at the school. They were all a blur, so I got creative with ChatGPT AI and Studio Ghibli animation style. Happy May Day! #HappyMayDay #MayDay #AIArt #Beltane

Yesterday, I noticed the most brilliant, snowy white flowers in my garden. After some effort, I learned they are Asian honeysuckle, very invasive, and nobody likes them. I do. #Honeysuckle #flowerreport #Asianhoneysuckle #gardens #blueskygardens #blueskyflowers #bloomscrolling #flowers

I'm playing with AI art again. This is in the Studio Ghibli animation style. The style is trending all over social media with memes and such. Although you can use other as well, I used ChatGPT to do mine. #aiart #ghibli #ghiblistyle #ai

I planted a lettuce mix in the pot; this is what I got. I never could identify it. Now, it has two yellow flowers, dandelions, not lettuce. You can eat dandelion greens, and bees love them, so it's a win for #nature, not so much the lettuce. #gardening #nativeplants #flowers #forage #wildfood

It's that time of year again. Don't forget to set your clocks ahead. That is assuming you still have any that need setting. I have a couple.

Talk about a spoiled mama, my dear son showed up with a Girl Scout Cookie haul. He got one of every flavor they had, and a couple extra. Nope, I am not complaining. We love Girl Scout Cookie season. #GirlScoutCookies #GSCookies #GirlScoutCookieSeason

Daffodil season is one of my favorite flower seasons of the year, and daffodils are one of my favorite flowers. Between the rain, snow and cold, mine took a beating this year, but they are still putting on a show. #bloomscrolling #gardening #daffodils #daffodilseason #flowergarden #GardenSunday
