Hey @lukelukeluke.bsky.social I found a nice mushroom growing in my grandmother’s yard!! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a chicken-of-the-woods.

Took a picture of this good kitty today. No editing. His eyes really are this color.

I loved this book so much as a kid. I read it several times and just had to have it when I saw it at the used bookstore yesterday. I’m looking forward to rereading it. Any Cynthia Voigt fans out there? 💙📚 #booksky

This cream is so helpful for pain and muscle tightness. I put it anywhere I have pain. I have no idea how it works so don’t ask. Not a sponsored post, but I found it when it was recommended by someone I followed on Twitter way back, so I thought I would share in case it can help someone else.

This is my old faithful orchid. It had bloomed 5 years in a row. It was the first to bloom this year over Christmas. #phalaenopsis

This orchid that I shared yesterday is a first for me. My first keiki. Just as I was fixing to cut it off and plant it it sent out a spike. Not knowing what to do, I left it alone.

Orchid blooms. Both of these orchids have bloomed for the first time since I got them.

Bought my first pair of birding binocs today. Hoping to get back to my parents’ house and get a good look at one of the Pileated woodpeckers that lives in their woods. Saw one this morning but was too far away for a good pic. Bird circled in red.
