Nothing says “I have adhd” like looking in the mirror for the first time in a couple of days and realizing you’ve been wearing your overalls crooked because you adjusted one and got distracted before adjusting the other 😂 #thestruggleisreal
A picture of someone from the chest to the neck wearing brown overalls and a green shirt with Pottery on it, one of the overall straps is way shorter than the other.

Today in Asheville

#protectdemocracy #ashevillenc #asheville #notmypresident
People stand in front of the Asheville city building and courthouse with blue sky in the background. Some people hold up handmade signs. One sign reads “shame on you judge Griffin…” another says “democracy doesn’t defend itself”

My grandma‘s Daffodils are pushing up through the Oak logs my dad has been cutting since the storm. What better way to live on than through a flower that cheers folks up at the end of a long winter 💛

I’ve been going to plant sales at this spot for like 20 years and I’ve learned so much walking the booths and just taking it all in. So many of my plants over the years have come from this sale. This year I’ll be there as a vendor again, with pottery & plants! Excited! 🪴

This is a (hand printed?) two tone poster advertising the “growing in the mountains spring plant and art festival”. The image is of plants in a garden (trillium, echinacea, rosemary, etc) with mountains in the background and a little signs in the garden saying “medicinal” “ natives” “ veggie starts” etcetera. At the bottom it says WNC farmers market lower lot 570 Brevard Rd., Asheville, NC first weekend of May! May 2-4, 2025. Friday and Saturday 9 to 5, Sunday 10 to 2.

The ares on the creeks that are growing thick with River Cane held up so well to the flooding we saw from Helene. All of this was under water. There’s a garbage can up in a tree just down stream from this spot.

#nativeplants #rivercane #floodresilience
Bridge trusses tumbled upon each other from the flood span across the small creek with blue sky, winter trees and sunshine in the background, and sprigs of River Cane in the foreground.

This is my dad‘s property in Fairview where he had his horses. His barn, fencing, many tools and another sweet shed (he built all of this) washed away into Cane Creek. Thankfully we got the horses out the Wednesday night before the flood, but I’m still so sad for my dad, so much hard work. #helene
An empty field with blue sky in the background. You can barely see the footprint of where my dad’s horse barn used to sit. Remnants of the barn on the ground next to the creek. Two by fours, crumpled up metal roofing, There are trees behind these piles of rubble, and blue skies and Sunshine. The creek on the right. Cane Creek. A horse barn with a brown and black horse in front in the green grass, blue sky above.
