My grandmother’s ornaments from the 1930’s. I’m so glad I have them!
If you have vintage ornaments please post them!

Fine: "I'm talking to my colleagues about whether we want these fake Somali refugees - who come to our country, add no value, suck our resources, defraud our govt - whether we actually want them here. I don't think Ilhan Omar shouldn't be a member of Congress - I think she shouldn't be an American"

The last blooms before frost. 70 year old chrysanthemums from my grandmother’s home.

Saw some beautiful things a few days ago at Shelby Farms. So nice to be reminded that there are still beautiful things. #beauty #breathe #fall #nature

Let’s talk Monarchs!! I currently have 11 caterpillars, 4 chrysalis and 1 emerged yesterday. The most Monarchs I have raised from my garden in the past 6 years. Is anyone else seeing more Monarchs?

Update from Memphis: I walked 3 miles around East Memphis this morning. No one shot at me. I did visit a recently opened Asian bakery and got this lovely cinnamon bun!

I planted snapdragons because it is the host plant for the buckeye butterfly. This is the first time I have raised this species!

My neighbor is getting married today. Her table arrangements will be made out of flowers from all of the neighbor’s gardens. I love my community!

I teach at an urban university in a blue city in a red state. State law requires DEI policies/offices to be dismantled. Today there was a small peaceful protest by faculty, staff and students. They chanted “We will always be diverse.” I love my diverse students!

Counted a dozen gulf fritillaries in the garden this morning! #butterflies #nature #garden #beauty #joy

Sometimes I need to be reminded that there are still a lot of beautiful things in the world. Took these pics with my phone in my front garden this morning. #nature #beauty #garden #flowers #insects #joy
