When the B is missing, and the sign reads “HAPPY IRTHDAY”
Yet it still sounds right.
It’s the day we appeared on the Earth! 💚🌎

A finch party at the birdbath.

Each morning I run the electric kettle to make tea/coffee and then I run it again to bring hot water outside that will thaw the ice in the birdbath. It usually results in a much appreciated flow of feathered visitors from my work window!

Got a basket for harvesting veggies in the garden.
Turned into a cat basket.

The bees are loving the flowering Cup Plant! They seem to like resting or sleeping on it too.

Soaking in the delicious scent of this oven-fresh blueberry peach pie before digging in!

I appreciate how this orange juice connector is made out of cardboard. It did its job aaand it’s better for the environment and wildlife than if it were plastic.

Many epic sights to be seen from the Philadelphia Flower Show this year! This year’s theme is “future garden”.

Worked on my transition to loose leaf tea today!

It’s a goal of mine to make the switch this year. I hope to grow and harvest some teas in my yard this summer— like raspberry leaves, chamomile, and mint.

Met this very friendly Road Runner in the Arizona desert last week. Here’s a shot of it sunning its back. ☀️😎
