Helping me with laundry.

How it started...how it's going...

I still doodle when I'm in trainings.

Crab apple tree in bloom

I went out of town Mother's Day weekend and there were no leaves, came back 4 days later to full bloom

Ginger cat stares longingly through a steel cut screen door.

Leaves budding on a crab apple tree on a foggy day.

Happy Friday! We're picking up roadside litter for a group project at work today. Was worried it be too hot. Nope, it's foggy and 37°f. Giz still wants to go out though. Spring is here, the leaves say so, right? #gingercats #Blueskycats #Spring

How fun!

StatsFM screenshot showing my top 3 tracks of the last 30 days were YMCA, Way Down We Go and Woke Up a Rebel. My top artist was Sleep Token

When StatsFM reminds you that you're a Grandma now. 😹 Singing YMCA at full belt over and over is the only way to get grandbaby to sleep when he has a tummy ache.We have to trick him into thinking we aren't trying to put him to sleep. #blueskymusic

Eyes of A Stranger is my favorite by Queensryche, I was kind of surprised when I just checked and saw it only went to 35 on the US charts.

Memory unlocked! I got my first job at Target in 1987. We had a Hardees in the parking lot. I used to take my lunch break there and I collected these guys with my meal purchase.

Twisted Sister, Van Halen 1984, Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell, Sleep Token This Place Will Become Your Tomb, Kaleo All the Pretty Girls, the Neverending Story Ltd Edition and Taylor Swift Fortnight 7 inch.

Happy Record Store Day! I scored Kaleo's All The Pretty Girls EP, The Neverending Story Soundtrack Limited Edition on Blue Starlight Vinyl and of course TS Fortnight 7 inch! AND because everything else was 15% off I got three 80s classics and a Sleep Token. #RSD #IndieRecordStores #Vinyl

Fortnight 7 inch and Kaleo's All the Pretty Girls for sure, then whatever else catches my eye!

Mine doesn't open for another hour and 40 minutes. Not that I'm counting.

Today's trip to the Indie bookstore fell on their 19th anniversary, so everything was 19% off! This week's banned book purchase is Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. #booksky #bannedbooks #readbannedbooks #indiebookstores #shoplocal

Thank you Canadians! 💜 also thanks for sharing!

I read it first on Libby and when I saw the beautiful new edition I knew I had to own it!

Those are great prompts, will definitely add a few from that challenge to my TBR.
