Aging lobbyist, gardening and tending to our 201 roses bushes with my best friend who happens to be my wife. Also an occasional killer of worms AKA playing golf, father of three high maintenance daughters and Papa to two beautiful granddaughters.
I’m getting to old for this stuff.

They really do. But no matter how old this is, it’s still going to be my gardening hat, forever.

Purchased this one in 1980, my wife finally made me get a new Carhartt But, the old one won’t be tossed out, can’t bring myself to do that. A lot of hours of good gardening mojo in the old one. @joyf.bsky.social @cabofun.bsky.social @flutterbyflora.bsky.social @mariecarnes.bsky.social

Since our neighbor’s cat, Mrs Socks has been on the job there has not been one unauthorized bird incursion. Her vigilance has been noted by undesirable bird types and applauded by Cardinals, Finches, Blue Jays and other singers.
