I'm bored.
Tell me the most shocking thing you've found during a trash cleanup... I'll go first in the comments.
(Technically I'm not bored... just at home still recovering and wishing I could be out cleaning Texas waterways. There is so much trash present and the weather is perfect for a cleanup

Spring Garden Tour
The buffalo grass is in.
Texas wildflowers are taking over—and I’m quietly thrilled.
The garden is alive, but it’s a little chaotic.
Thankfully, family has been nearby to help keep the weeds in check.
It’s not perfect, but it’s growing.
