Wanna know what's seriously cool? Financial literacy.
Why? Because it will save you thousands of dollars if not tens of thousands of dollars.
Learn all you can about interest rates if you ever intend to go into or get out of debt.
If you can, *do not go into debt for anything*.

I love that there are beautiful things about every season. We are at the tail end of bounty from the garden but I love how fun gourds are. For decorating and eating.

I don't know anything about Ohtani or sportsball in general, but it has been so nice to log in and see people legitimately happy and excited about something wholesome.
Thanks for sharing the joy. :)

While my birdbath is still *technically* operating as intended, these are not the birds I had hoped it would attract.
My bad for free ranging the flock. I just really didn't realize they'd take to the bird bath so much.

I am in a state based wildlife group and occasionally people will post pictures to get help with IDs. Today a woman posted a picture of a spider who had taken up residence just outside her window. She had named the spider and was hoping to learn more about what kind it was. ...

There has been a lot of sadness expressed with the passing of Jane Goodall, but there has been a lot of beauty with that sadness as well. She was iconic and made an impact in some of the best ways.
I hope her legacy is long and future generations point to her work as part of their inspiration.

I've been bugging my husband to trim the bush out the window in front of the sink so I have an unobstructed view while I do dishes. Today, I'm glad he hasn't yet because I was entertained by this caterpillar while scrubbing.

My daughter and I went shopping to do a rare wardrobe refresh yesterday. Today I wore one of my new dresses and found out that it had pockets! When I informed my daughter, she is old enough to understand what a unicorn that is and we jumped for joy.
And then I got to share the poem Dangerous Coats.

This dude has been coming out of our small pond to sun on the rock patio. I'm assuming there's some kind of snacks involved too, but I don't know what they are. I wanna feed it so bad!

Really grateful to @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social for being a place for people to share their stories.
Also grateful they gave me a chance to speak out a bit about Lyme disease research and the importance of rural hospitals.

A turtle took up residence in our small pond. I am more excited about this than I should probably admit.

Oh my goodness! I love when companies are passionate about what they do and how that passion can come out in the details. Set of books arrived from Discworld Emporium and just scanning the very shipping package itself has brought me a lot of joy and entertainment.

As we finish up the holiday weekend, my thoughts re: various ways I've seen people spend this time -
For those who couldn't bring themselves to celebrate this year - I get it. Take the time you need, and remember to take care of yourself and loved ones.

When it is hot outside and I don't want a heavy meal, but I want to taste a bunch of yummy things a tapas platter is about as good as it gets. (Antipasto platter works to. Similar, but different contents and flavor profiles.
This is husband's platter offer, formulated to lift my mood. It worked.

I did not plant a sunflower. I did, however, feed cardinals outside this window most of the winter. Looks like a sunflower seed volunteered. I could do with some beauty so it made me smile.
Thank you, cardinals, for leaving me this one.

It's sad that these are the best pics my phone could capture of a hummingbird out my window. But I'm sharing regardless because their little chirps are making me happy.
Also, I need to wash my windows. I kinda knew that, but these pics confirm that.

Hummingbirds have been hitting the feeders hard, but they are impossible to capture on my camera phone. So, here is a picture of some other animals around - unidentified bird on top of bridge, fish in our small pond (I call them my Kentucky koi), and one of GP pair who is remarkably bad at posing.

It's been a rough day with our black cat Raven suddenly exhibiting pretty bad lethargy and loss of appetite. Husband and daughter ran him to the Vet and it sounds like it was very good they didn't wait. He has Bobcat fever.

View from my front window right now. Truly free range chickens aren't for everyone, but they are great at pest control, produce *amazing* eggs and provide hours of entertainment.
Oh, and I don't really have a lawn. It's more of a meadow at this point. I'm cool with that.

Another successful night shift in the books. Time for the last few booming barks to warn any predators to remain away and then it's time for some well earned sleep.
I actually find it soothing to hear their barks through the night. Allows me to truly relax knowing they have things handled.
