It's been a while but I'm still smiling after Saturday's #NoKingsDay in small town North Carolina. Waxhaw and Belmont. ❤️🇺🇸❤️

Another rally for Freedom in bright red Monroe, NC yesterday. #NoKings #SeeSomethingSaySomething

Ruby red Monroe, NC

At the ripe old age of 67, my first ever protest in bright red Monroe, NC. #HandsOff

Wandering wonders. Within 10 feet of the house! Eastern Redbud, one of our first native trees to flower. Did you know that its blossoms are edible? Nutritious and tasty, too. The cocoon of the Promethea Moth, I think. One our huge, beautiful, native moths. A little nature break is good for the soul.

End of day bit of nature. #sunset

Some days cry out for a nature break. Nature cooperated.

Most native plants are dormant at this time of year, so I was delighted to run across these wee blossoms while working in the nursery today. Springbeauty (Claytonia virginica). Not the showiest plant around or the best picture but a welcomed sign of hope. #nativeplants

Uh oh. This morning at my local Food Lion in this deep red NC county. #butthepriceofeggs

So, we did get a wee dusting of snow this forecast. Not our dreamed for "big snows come from the south" but something. Brrrr...

Moments of joy. Late color in my garden. #nativeplants
