Jalapeños from the garden. I had to move the pepper plants onto the porch (they are in grow bags) in order to get anything from them - something in the garden was eating them before they could ripen!

Caught an Eastern Bluebird couple making a nest in the bird house this morning. I wonder if it's the same ones from earlier in the Spring.

Some strawberries and sage from the garden this weekend. The strawberries were small, but they were good.

Just had my first sighting of a brown thrasher on my back porch. And caught a woodpecker having dinner the other evening.

Got lucky this morning and spotted a baby bird peeking out of the birdhouse. Had to zoom way in but it came out pretty good.

I was able to get in the yard today. I'm happy to report my Strawberry, Sage, Coneflower, Bee Balm, Lavender and Sage plants all survived the Winter!

Potted up my bellpeppers and Jalapeños. My Sugar Rush Peach Pepper seeds have germinated too! Am I the only one that talks to their plants while watering them or potting them?

Potted up my 🍅 and marigolds today. It was so nice and warm out! I wasn't sure if they were ready then I saw their roots popping out of the bottom of the containers. Hopefully they survive. I tried to be gentle with them. It makes me so happy to watch them grow.

My seedlings are coming along well, I think. I bought a little fan to blow air against them - I read it helps them have strong stems. I finally got the new pepper seeds I ordered in the mail. Something new to try. I'll be getting them started this weekend.

Started my seeds for the garden this year. Tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeños as well as marigolds and coneflower. So exciting to see the seed Sprouts pop up and start to grow.

For nearly 80 years we have defended church-state separation and repelled the waves of white Christian Nationalism.
We know that separating religion and government is the cure for Christian Nationalism and we will not stop fighting for freedom without favor and equality without exception.
