Old pocket Venus, married almost 50 years. Democrat, chocolate freak, British tv and writers, gardening, secret optimist, champion complainer. Leaving the bird. A dear friendโ€™s profile, now passed, was one word. Bitter. Adding that in her honor.

Itโ€™s charming. No idea what the pattern will look like on a tiny piece but it canโ€™t be bad?

Looked far and wide, exactly what I want but they wonโ€™t ship here. EA just sent me an item with environmental warnings on the package but they sent it. Frustrated.

Nesting. October. Fall.

Neat! I do too. Took awhile to find but rule is, whether it โ€œgoesโ€œ or not, if it doesnโ€™t make me smile itโ€™s a no.

Young me would freak at old me. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you. Not really. Itโ€™s just a super shitty painful disease.

The little fireplace puts out a lot of heat. Ellie will enjoy this, she love patterns and colors and isnโ€™t restricted by taste and design. ๐Ÿ˜Š

After many years we finally solved the morning barfing by husband coaxing her with broth at 5am so sheโ€™ll take her breakfast in bed at 7am. With lots of pets and kisses. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Dentist yesterday asked after Ellie. Everyone knows itโ€™s all about Ellie. Husband said sheโ€™s had the best year of her life despite, maybe because of the move, and sheโ€™s been the best part of ours. All true.

Just so everyone is aware, @cnn.com is being dishonest and using a picture from the 1992 LA Riots to manipulate your opinions.

The last Winchell's Donuts in Portland closed in 2008,per their Wikipedia page.

Common here for dems to not vote thinking their vote doesnโ€™t count because California always goes blue. But internally it doesnโ€™t. We have a massive amount of red. Prop 50 is our most powerful tool in this moment. Low turnout is anticipated. Every yes vote is golden. 3 minutes and itโ€™s in the mail.

I canโ€™t even deadhead the calendula because there are so many bees. The flowers have totally taken over this flower box.

Husband just looked at me and snickered. So, so comfy though.

Two Alaska whites for cement pots flanking garage. Three baby sweet peas for in between carpet roses, then pansies and violas to fill in for color. Pruned baby crape to three trunks. Early spring I can pack with lavender again for the bees. It takes years to learn a yard. Armstrong loves me. ๐Ÿ˜‚
