Ok Colorado is cool because sometimes you walk outside and you’re literally in a cloud.

I went downstairs by myself today. This, apparently, was not okay with my dog.
A black lab lying on the floor looking through a doorway with a head tilt that says, “How dare you go downstairs and leave my all by myself up here?” Mind you, her dog brother was up there.

It’s a gray day, but we’ve got blooms. I don’t know the exact variety of rose this is, but I look forward to it blooming every year.

Get you a doggo that aspires to be a contortionist. @darthbluesky.bsky.social can you verify this is actually a dog?

This is my last steal for this year. So many lilacs I steal from already have fading blossoms.

And the 16th of this month is the day my grandmother was born.

So your friendly #lilacthief is signing off for the year. Catch you next time lilacs bloom.

Today’s joy is having a friend that made me lilac needlepoint, with my signature #lilacthief hashtag. Don’t worry, I’ll post some more soon. #BloomScrolling #FlowerReport
A needlepoint rendition of lilacs, with the hashtag of #lilacthief below. It is significant because I use this hashtag when I post photos of lilacs I steal in memory of my grandmother.

This is how they’ll get me.

#lilacthief strikes again, this time on a wintry morning. Blooms, buds, and leaves encased in ice. #BloomScrolling #FlowerReport
