Well, @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, I saved your latest book for a time when I needed it and just finished it today. So beautifully sad and optimistic and honest. At times I felt like crying and at other laughed out loud. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social, for your beautiful book about plants. Can't recommend it enough. 💚 🌺🌿🌾

Rita Haworth Hardy (Haworth is late mother-in-law’s maiden name).

Today would've been Mother's 90th birthday, had she not died suddenly in late April 2023. Willette Tacket Cartwright Lollar was an Arkansas beauty who was widowed twice, went blind of a rare condition in her 80s, and never lost her smile. 💐

PSA: If you haven't read Katherine Stewart's latest, I highly recommend it.

Same. A chickadee landed on my head the other day for a split second. And our little Rita has an excellent vocabulary, as have all her predecessors. 💙
