I haven't been on a social media site since MySpace. I'm nearly 40, have many interests, enjoy learning, and am hopelessly in love with my partner of 18 years. My dogs, garden, or toddler may be better entertainment than me, but they can't use a keyboard

We got this Pieris Mountain Fire Plant 5+ years ago and my partner has done a fantastic job shaping this plant. This is the early part of spring for us so it's not nearly as beautiful as it's going to get. Most of my gardening is done in containers, rather than in ground or in planter beds.

I got super lucky in last night's storm. This branch fell from likely 40 ft up, bounced off my dogwood tree, and landed inches away from my car. The branch weighs at least 60 lbs or so - would have been a nasty fix.

All right, Blue Sky friends, root for me this week. I'm in the finals again in my fantasy football league!!
If you happen to be playing against these players in your own league, well...best of luck to you, too 😝
Either way, it should be a good week of family, food, and football.
Merry Christmas!

Oh wow, that is so wild how they eat similar but are different sizes to that degree. Our little guy has a good appetite but still tiny. Here's a picture of him back in August, a little after 2nd birthday

Hah your Rudy looks very similar to our happy girl Pharah. We rescued her, not quite sure what her parents were. She "smiles" just like that too

Happy holidays, Mr. Takei! Have a picture of Chompers, my old man bulldog rescue, and the first picture we took of Ody, our recent rescue black lab mix.

Slept through a tree falling on my house lol.

Just put christmas themed decorations in our 40 gallon fish tank (don't worry they're fish safe).
Now to see how long it takes the 2 year old to notice the pickle with a Santa hat.

I love it when I gain access to a new work tool only to find out the most helpful feature is gated by a per-use fee.
