Trying to stay hopeful, but worried about where we all are and getting angrier every day. Starting to cuss a lot.
Discovering hobbies that make me happy, like gardening and woodworking. I have two full time jobs - my regular one and caregiver to my mom.

Tonight was cooler so perfect time to plant some coreopsis plants. I hope they live in the hot #florida sun. UPS guy stopped and gave me a basil plant that one of his drop offs gave him - said he had a brown thumb. A nice surprise, and a reminder most people are inherently good. 🌱 #bloomscrolling

Well, mom’s lab work this morning has to be rescheduled. Woke to the sound of her shuffling around in kitchen “eating breakfast” which consisted of pb & banana sandwich… not a big deal to reschedule and the flowers are blooming nicely. I’ll put up reminder signs next time. #eldercare #bloomscolling

Spent the last few minutes staring at a wasps starting to build a nest above the garage door. Was going to knock it down so they would fly somewhere else to rebuild, but decided not to. Whatever. With everything falling apart, potentially getting stung by an annoyed wasp isn’t a big deal.

Taking a breath and enjoying some golden yellow blooms before the daily onslaught of insanity here in the good ol’ USA. 🌱 #bloomscrolling #florida #pleasenohurricanesthisyearIcan’ttakeanotherone

So tired of all the bs and feeling drained so I called in sick. Spent the last hour watching these beauties munching around the neighborhood lawns. It’s a small thing, but nature is restorative. #mentalhealth

I thought the cosmos had crowded everything else out, but a brave little echinacea has popped up in defiance of all those feathery fronds. 🌱 #bloomscrolling

I removed most of the plants from my raised beds in anticipation of repainting the trim, and some curious visitors stopped by to check on the progress. 🌱 #birds #bloomingscrolling

Too hot and muggy to cook for the 4th so we’re going with a festive watermelon, feta, blueberry and sunflower seed salad dressed with lime juice.

I had a supervisor watching over me while doing some early morning weeding. “Our House” by Madness was playing on my phone while I took this and I swear their little head was bobbing along to the music. 🐦

I am truly trying not to hold hate in my heart, but they’ve put up signs like it’s a tourist attraction. I hope everyone in this administration gets what they deserve.

I wish I were better at taking pics on my phone, but here’s a Gulf Frittarily visiting my cosmos flowers.
Neighborhood Karen walked by to let me know the cosmos were getting “out of control.” I am now drinking sweet tea and listening to “Walk on By.”

Don’t remember planting this strange flower (Siam Tulip?), and I don’t really find it pretty, but it’s pushing up through the cosmos and thriving, so do your thing little buddy.

One my challenges as a new gardener is my vision of having things look lush and magazine worthy, and I keep getting the weathered and scraggly look. But I’m enjoying the process!

I’m becoming obsessed with my moss roses, mainly because I can’t kill them, and also, they seem to flourish in the Florida sun. Cosmos are also spreading all over like wildfire. From small to overgrown:
