We used to mow this 1-acre field in front of our house. Now it's a haven for bees, birds, and butterflies.

First string beans of the season, from my husband's greenhouse. Fitting that we're having them on Father's Day!

I just donated $100 to Spirit of America to help the people of Ukraine. I want them and President Zelinski to know that while our President is a stooge of Putin's, we the people know who our true friends are. #standbyUkraine
