All the rain this weekend really weighed down my rose bushes so I did a little trim… and a bouquet magically appeared 🩷🌷🌸
A large bouquet of pink and yellow roses in a vase. A little sprig of coral and white azalea and sage and dusty miller thrown in for extra texture and interest.

April showers on my roses. Love how they look all droopy 🩷
A ginormous pink rose bush, flowers heavy with rain, in the background of my garden. A pop of purple clematis on the right. Coral and white striped azaleas in the foreground on the left, surrounded by rock edging. Between the rose and azaleas is a peony bush, loaded up with round buds and ready to bloom any day now. You can see the grass around the beds is of high quality and well maintained… just kidding! I’m a hippy garden girl, that’s all bee food 😁🐝

Picked a small wild flower bouquet from my yard (I left PLENTY for the bees). I love #SpringTime #wildflowers
Wild flower bouquet with yellows, purples, pinks, whites, and greens. Dandelion, violet, and Virginia spring Beaty stand out the most.

March wrap up
#BookSky

All the Colors of the Dark was my favorite this month, the audiobook was fantastic and, yes, I listened to it twice.

Hello, #Spring
#Gardening
#SpringFlowers
Cream colored daffodils with a bright yellow center take up most of the frame. A red bird feeder in the background. A lantern leans in from the left side. Lime green Creeping Jenny in the foreground. The yellow flowers of Forsythia mix with green leaves. A single white tulip stands out against a background of red barberry.

BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER!! I had this book as a kid and then MY kids left it outside in the rain. It broke my heart and I looked for a replacement for years. Then forgot about it. *Enter best hubby ever*
Hubby got me a replacement 🩷

You are looking at Smaug, the greatest dragon ever. In this illustration, from the book “The Hobbit” by Tolkien, the glorious Smaug is rearing back and blasting fire from his mouth. He is green with a yellow underside. His mouth is open showing his white fangs. He is VERY unhappy. There is probably a hobbit running for his life somewhere. This illustrated book is from 1977, the illustrations are from the animated movie “The Hobbit” from the same year. How many times can one say a variation of “illustration” in one paragraph? Four, apparently.

And now that's a thing you know.

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters.

Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

I’m halfway through “Death of the Author” by Nnedi Akorafor and

*sorta spoilers*

I just have to say how much I despise Zelu’s family. Like, I’m really angry about it. Even if they redeem themselves I’m still going to hate them.

Might be time to reread “The Stand” by @stephenking.bsky.social with bird flu being found in birds, cows, cats, mice, rats, seals, and humans (not human to human spread yet). I am definitely getting Captain Trips vibes.
