Early birthday gifts from two different people. I am sensing a plant daddy theme

I know the surroundings are nothing to write home about but I just think this Ginkgo is the most gorgeous

Our normal vet had to reschedule so they sent us to their location in one of the fanciest suburbs. It was quite the experience.

Our dog was a celebrity, they were thrilled to see a pit bull. Every member of their staff stopped to meet her and talked about her fat butt and fat head. It was so cute

It’s a little hard to photograph because it’s a weird half height closet. But the little curtain is at the door, she has some art, bed and all her clothes are hanging.

My grandma is so emotionally smart, no wonder she is healthy at 88. She is upset about “armed masked police roaming around snatching people” but after writing letters and making donations she didn’t know what to do so she learned to use acrylics (she is a pastels lady usually)

Her first attempt:

I am powerless in the face of the plant clearance section

Well this made me laugh

Freed from work, I installed this thing

Also, for those who don’t know, Chicago has a great flag

Somebody woke me up this morning by staring at me and gradually shimmying towards me until I woke up. When I asked her what she wants she put her head on my pillow and went to sleep

Grandma: “show your friends this picture. They’ll get a kick out of my hair”

Me: “ok but I’m not sure that’s what they will notice”

I love that her ear does this when she sleeps

Happy Friday! Not a bad view to wake up to

My new plant baby, I love her

They delivered the wrong one (unusable because she couldn’t get into it). They said they couldn’t do anything until tomorrow

My husband, the calm, persistent guy he is, is now friends with the warehouse manager, who heard it’s for an 88 year old and drove the correct one over in his personal truck

Louie’s cat brothers, Smudge and Pudge are not at all charmed by me yet. I’m sure I can make progress in the next 8 days

My charge for the next 10 days, Louie

She is using this iPad as a pillow every single day now so I guess it’s found it’s true purpose and I will just use my phone

This is my niece, Broccoli. I was put in charge of keeping her company today.

I drove 40 mins, we played for 2 mins and now she is under the bed 🤷‍♂️

The last two days have been treacherous for the robins. Storms and winds up to 50 mph absolutely buffeted the lilac tree. Mama bird stayed on the nest with her wings fluffed out. Papa bird used his body to hold the nest in place.

We were delighted to find they had won the battle this morning

This is Twiggy. I planted her in the same container she is in now on the patio of Adam’s condo before we even lived together. I didn’t think she would come back after one winter, let alone 14. I am constantly amazed that she used to be an extremely anemic looking stick

$16 of flowers goes a long way in brightening up a room and making me feel a bit better about the world

Very regal
