Excellent. I don't even like marijuana but I have supported others right to use it since before we passed medical marijuana legislation in 2016. Now do one to abolish this 60% majority garbage. That was passed with less than 60% in favor of it. #florida #marijuana www.wesh.com/article/recr...

Bob Marley would have been 80 today. His music was an integral part of the soundtrack of my teenage years in northern California. Happy birthday, Skipper. We're still singing your songs.

Trying to celebrate small joys in my life. Y’all I am 53 years old and have wanted to wear false eyelashes for DECADES but every attempt has been a disaster. Magnetic lashes ftw!

I’m not sure if this is the work of one spider or two because no one seemed to be home but they have got the underside of my mailbox COVERED. My mailbox has a light that comes on at night to illuminate house number so this is some very smart spidering. #nature #spiders #arachnids

I am notorious for bringing home random things I find walking around outside Collected some seeds while walking my dog this morning. Queen Palm and milkweed. Seeds are hopeful little things. #gardening #seeds #florida #hope

My husband happily drives our cat around the neighborhood in her stroller at least once a day, often more. She demands it by jumping into the stroller and yelling until he does her bidding. #cats #florida

Just random things I see in my neighborhood whilst walking the dog and cat. Well, the cat actually rides in a stroller but still... He/she's a beaut, right?

Florida person here, wondering how can I sound more Canadian when I speak besides saying "eh" a lot? Asking for a friend. Okay, no not really, it is for me.

I'm always happy to find one of these Florida natives hanging around outside my house. Lovely green treefrog just doing his thing.
