This old girl starts heartworm treatment next week. She’s been on heartworm preventative her whole life with negative test results every year. The heartworm med company is paying for the treatment. Paws in for Diamond dog.

Peggy Martin rose has been growing in my garden for 4 years. I haven’t watered it in 3 years. It gets bigger every year and puts on a spectacular boom in the spring. apple.news/AxZ8Kvdz5RIa...
The rose that survived Hurricane Katrina—and now blooms across the country — National Geographic

Teddy Bear sunflower. A friend gave me a seedling in April. Fun plant. I’m hoping to save a few seeds for next year. #bloomscrolling
