Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away”

This will be the last post of the Blue birds all of which appeared to have made it out alive. Chat GPT says they won’t return to the nest once they have left unlike many American children. 😳😭🐣 #birds

High 71 low 41, Nice spring day. #ncwx
A good article from @wral.bsky.social
“ Driving past Valle Crucis school a couple days after Hurricane Helene they saw a math teacher crying—These kids are not ever going to get to step foot in their school again.”

Rather than continue to doom scroll, I had to step outside and look at my bridal wreath bush which is at peak bloom. The forecast low here on Tuesday night is 24 degrees but it’s quite hardy. Tulips 🌷 might not be so lucky. #ncwx
