Girls, it is late November and you live in Ireland. It has snowed already. Go to sleep! 🌱
Kind of a lot of white strawberry flowers and buds amid dead autumn foliage. Several are clearly forming spiky green baby berries for Christmas I guess. Bright pink dianthus bloom and bud against silvery green foliage in a container. Smells like cloves and summertime!

Thinking of the Palm House at the National Botanical Gardens in Glasnevin 🇮🇪 on a much warmer day than today. 🌱

In the 1970's stealing grapes from the supermarket was considered so essential to human culture that NASA included it on the Voyager Golden Record.

Sometimes only a puffin will do. #birds #birdbutt

Photos taken on Skellig Michael this past spring.

If you see this, post a cat!

Gingersnap does not know why anyone's up this late when there's no basketball but she is supportive nonetheless

Gingersnap and I hope things start going better soon 💙

Computers eat burger smell.
January 30, 2012 Compu-Toon by Charles Boyce. Two identical curly-haired men in collared shirts stand around a desk with a distorted desktop computer with motion lines around it and a loading bar on the screen. One of the men is eating a burger. The caption reads, "Strange...the aroma from your fast-food is causing the system to process faster."

Saw this rose while I was out and about. Does anyone have a guess as to the varietal? I'd love to grow my own. 🌱 #rosewednesday
Variegated rose bloom with cream in the center, bright pink on the edges and splattery stripes of red throughout

My dianthuses are blooming again 💖🌱
A round bright pink dianthus with darker fuchsia stripes against silvery green foliage. The edges of the flower petals are spiky and it smells like cloves

I mean, look at the 2022 statewide results in Ohio and how badly Vance did compared to DeWine. Why would anyone attach themself to that?
Screenshot of 2022 Ohio voting results from Politico. In the gubernatorial race DeWine (R) defeats Whaley (D) 62.8% to 37.2%. Meanwhile, Vance (R) squeaks by Ryan (D) 53.3% to 46.7%.

I had been wondering what color nasturtiums I planted.
Bright yellow garden nasturtium bud that will bloom in a couple of days Neon red-orange nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) flower bud starting to unfurl its petals against a background of round green leaves.

I hope you find this as cathartic as I did.
Frames from the Interview with the Vampire (2024) TV show in which Daniel Molloy, an older white man with grey hair and glasses played by Eric Bogosian, gives side eye to someone offscreen, saying, "Oh, you really shouldn't wear gloves" (continues) "when handling historical documents, Real Rashid." In this frame, Daniel looks pleased to have gotten one over on some terrible art dealer vampires.

It is dianthus o'clock
White dianthus/carnation bloom with spiky pinked edges in the sunlight. In person it has a strong clove scent

Sorry about losing your streak. I hope you have an easy time of it and test negative soon!

Sigh...
