My own little garden.. I have 9 of them. ☺️
I just purchased a box full of yarns; going to venture into ambitious crochet projects. Spoke out loud that it feels like there is a promise of months maybe years of trying to live for those projects.
My hubby: I’ll buy you more yarns.
Unromantic but profound

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.
When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”
This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.
