How many people out there are giving wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year? Please RT if you are offering a lifeline to pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats by mowing less ๐

The pod is herding fish and misjudged the depth of the inlet. Many dolphins will beach their prey and end up beaching themselves, and are sometimes attracted by fishing activity. At first, theyโre hunting. Then, theyโre panicking a liโl.

This is the conjunction of the moon and Jupiter. Theyโre sharing the same sky, and for a couple of days, we can see it.
Youโre seeing Jupiter reflecting the last bits of sun. There are some pretty interesting conjunctions this July, actually. The moon and Mercury will be inโฆ

I stalked my husband in church by making sure to be within hand-shaking range for the congregational welcome every Sunday. 37 years out, neither of us are sorry. ๐๐๐ฅฐ
My 2 yr-old nephew has just tested positive for COVID. Iโll keep you posted, Delana. Iโm sure heโll be fine because heโs not 95, obese, or immunocompromised. He contracted it at nursery school. I have been exposed. Some may get their wish if I develop COVID, too.
Lying is bad. Lying to defraud is worse. Lying to defraud while utilizing images of someone elseโs struggle w/o their permission, & collecting funds from people unaware of the chicanery is criminal. Literally, criminal. Refund the money. Delete your account. Rethink your life.
Nothing and no one should ever dictate one humanโs capacity to love another human with everything in their soul. Birth is a process. Love? Love is a gift.

I keep thinking maybe MzTina is riding along with Ida, visiting NO one more time to slap the taste and her name outta the mouths of Bill and his creepy friends.

IโM NOT APOLOGIZING! So if anyone is PISSED at me please do me a heck and unfollow, block, and tell your friends because once I struggle to get my gloves off, Iโm not putting them back on. GodDAMN!
Thanks for putting up with me in beams, guys. Iโve proved to myself I can do it now, and stay up there, even if it gets contentious. If Iโve bored you or made you ๐ I apologize. Iโve enjoyed โmeetingโ the people Iโve watched for so long. ๐
My friends: Just got back from my rheumatologist. I had 28 points of tenderness & 19 inflamed joints when I saw him in May. I now have 0 on both scores. The Xeljanz is working, and your kind prayers, thoughts, & encouragement were a HUGE blessing for us. Love and gratitude. โค๏ธ๐ฅฐ
urgently need prayers, in hospital, abnormal masses on uterus/ovaries, much pain - told on oncologist will be checking imaging results. I donโt know how this works. Does that mean cancer?? Plds help
So, we went to see our new granddaughter yesterday. Many big storms, many detours around trees and flood waters. This happened and guided us right to her. The last photo was where the rainbow ended: Right in the yard. Absolute magic. โค๏ธ

Iโm deeply disappointed and embarrassed for you, Mr. Marx. Itโs okay not to like someone, but to attack the loved one of someone you donโt like says more about you than it does them. Iโm sorry people like this exist, Mr. Baio. ๐
You guys mind not retweeting or liking shit that shows animals being hurt, killed, mutilated, etc. or shit like today where itโs a video of a child being hit by a car?
I donโt give a fuck what activism youโre highlighting, I donโt need to see that shit. Sick as hell.

Thank you so much for this. Possums are cute little things, and many people donโt understand them. I love their little feet, which remind of flowers when theyโre walking. โค๏ธ
This lamp makes me happy.
I saw this lamp in green and bought it for the kiddo for Christmas.
Turns out, she had found the same lamp, but ordered it in multicolor for me for Christmas.
We opened them at the same time. ๐
Homemade hot sauce, made with a fermented melange of hot peppers grown here. From jalapeรฑos & cayennes to habaneros, Thai, mariachis and anaheims. Two more batches for this round. Many more Woozy bottles to come!

Being separated from my little loves has been agony. Drawing hearts on glass, hands on hands with a barrier between us, is no comfort. All of this time past, unable to be relived, is one of the great sadnesses in my life. I miss them.

Politically? ๐ค I suppose it could be thought of as politicians chasing voters and beaching themselves like the Constitutional whales they are. We keep pushing them back in the water like dummies.
Thatโs all Iโve got. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐
I can lay down for an hour and then finish the shrubs, right? Does that make me lazy? Does it mean Iโm letting my RA and other things take control? I feel like it does, and that guilt sucks, but Iโll take an hour anyway.

Today. Mega peppers. Sautรฉed zucchini with garlic. Iโm making steak, corn, and zucchini for dinner, but oddly enough, I really only want zucchini and corn. ๐ Later, starting lactoferment hot peppers for making hot sauce; itโs my favorite method.
Meadow check. We have growth, green, and blooms. Some of the biennial and perennial wildflowers are greening, like the black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia). The poppies and black-eyed Susans died back as they should, but the main rosettes stayed green.

My husband drove me to the dispensary today. When I got back to the car and started getting in, he said, โWell? Did you get the stuff?โ ๐๐๐ Heโs soooooo dramatic.
I know the rule is โlisten to your bodyโ, so instead of pushing past pain, Iโve stayed in bed and slept.
It feels wrong, like Iโm giving in, losing time, declining, weak.

We just had ourselves a raging fire. Right next to the house. Managed to contain it and extinguish.
God is good; the house wasnโt touched, and I could move fast enough to secure both the feathers and furs in 5 minutes, just in case.

This is my friend, Rick. Army vet, was into gaming & ghost hunts. Had great sense of humor & humanity, did an awareness fundraiser for homeless vets by living on the streets w/them. He was also a believer in a โCOVID hoaxโ. He tested positive 7/1/20; found dead on 7/4/20. (1/2)

You requested that we choose a charity we support and donate. I think thatโs an excellent idea.

Makes sense, โDawgโ. I lost respect for you when I caught you being a bigot in a black womanโs tweet thread and checked you. You unfollowed right-quick. Thank you.
Looks like you lost that account to suspension, which, under the present circumstances, doesnโt surprise me.

Taking a few moments. Been planting annual containers, and the succulents which needed repotting from growth or propagation. Hereโs small group. Forgive how dirty they are. I canโt wash them off just yet.
