The blackout doesn't seem to have much traction. I'm enjoying staying home and buying nothing. #massblackout

Is anyone else not buying? This could be the best year yet to refrain from gifting. I stopped years ago and I can tell you life is better without having to give so many gifts.

I voted! I appreciate mail in voting, even though it's 100% mail-delivered balloting. I dropped my ballot off at the elections office. Even though the only candidates on the ballot were for the Cemetery District and the Hospital District. Even though my county doesn't even have a hospital.

Wapito blooming in my small stock tank converted to native pond. This tank is fed from a downspout off my roof. The pond has hosted 2 years of pacific chorus frogs as well, so I'm considering it a success. Skamania County, Washington

How do #ace people celebrate #pride month? It seems so much more directed towards the leading edge of the long acronym, and I'm so far at the tail it often gets dropped.

My first biochar burn went great. We didn't use a kiln, just a pile that we added to as the wood burned. The biochar will be top dressed around my fruit trees and in the veg beds. #biochar #gardening #PNWgardening 🌱

First salmonberry flower of the season. Skamania County, Washington State, USA. Rubus spectabilis #PNWGardening #nativePlants🌱

Happy Spring! This is an egg mass of Pacific Chorus Frogs in my little stock tank that collects water from my roof. And the seldom seen but loudly heard frog. Skamania County, WA, USA🌱 #PNWGardening

please world leaders, treat the current US President with the respect he deserves. Which is none.

I'm in Washington State. There was about 5" of snow last week, and it's been below freezing nightly for a few weeks now. Rain yesterday. And surprise - last night I heard the Pacific Tree frog (aka Chorus Frog), Pseudacris regilla, singing at my pond 🌱 #organicgardening, #pnwgardening

This goat weathers the snow just fine. His winter coat is as deep as my fingers are long. #WAWX

Here's some heather blooming in January with some riverbank lupin in the background. SW Washington State.

Second Verse
Same as the first
A little bit louder
And a whole lot worse

Love the idea of bloom scrolling today. Here's a rose that I got as a freebie from a local nursery. At the time it was a scraggly couple of twigs that they couldn't sell. When I showed the nursery owner the photo she said it was probably "At Last". 🌱

My grandmother's Christmas Cactus blooming for Christmas this year. She's bloomed for Easter, for Memorial Day, and for Thanksgiving in the past. I inherited this plant in the 1980s. Amazing.

Twice in the last few weeks a cashier has been confused making change for my purchase.
