The little purple one is my sad evergreen azalea that lived in a pot for too long. The red one is my neighbor’s. They’re amazing.

Have a little taste of Seattle spring! I wish I could share the glorious scent of green and cottonwood tree blooms, but you’ll have to trust that it would make the most amazing hand lotion smell.

Everything is stupid but my seeds are sprouting. It’s literally the little things.

See beauty where you can when times are hard. It’s there even when everything seems bleak. #moss #ISeeMoss

Moss and lichen won’t bend the knee or kiss the ring, and it certainly won’t comply in advance. Be like moss and lichen. #moss #ISeeMoss

Can we also be a gentle riot of structural rocks and soft moss and resilient flowers? We’re in this for the long haul and everyone will have their role. #moss #ISeeMoss

You know who doesn’t accidentally share state secrets over public apps? Moss. Moss has more merit in one tiny green tendril than this entire administration. Anyway, #moss #ISeeMoss

Little snail fren! I love that they’re blue. For scale, it’s sitting on the thumb of my bulky cold weather gardening glove.

No moss today, because my hellebores are putting on a helluva show. Have been working in the garden to make it easier to grow plant starts I can plant and share with neighbors. Enjoying the beautiful early spring flowers.

This time of year, when the sun is a little higher and our days are misty, the moss glows. Getting my joy where I can during my daily rage walks. #Moss #ISeeMoss

I’m not sure how to express just how much I adore mossy trees festooned with licorice ferns. They make me so happy. Some forget to find joy where you can

Saw my favorite massive mossy log yesterday. The moss is about 6”deep and so soft. This log is its own universe. #moss #ISeeMoss
