Good morning, everybody! Sending love to you all today! ❤️

8 shaft floor loom, J-Made. 2 sewing machines in the background.

Almost a year later (took my first weaving class the 4 weeks of Feb) and my loom is almost totally setup. It just took a few hours! We are turning the apartment into a craft room. BEST DECISION EVER. #weaving #loom

Omg! This is GORGEOUS!!!

I love the colors! And your kitty is super cute!!!

Pretty! And sorry for whatever grieves you. ❤️

I’m going to look into it when i don’t work full-time. The volunteer hours required to be a Master Gardener are no joke! Sorry, but I have too many hobbies right now! Too little time.

Perfectly timed pause! 🫢😆🤣 Finally started watching #Hacks We just watched 5 episodes? I think we like it. 😉

Yr 3. I think it’s going to bloom for the first time!The deer better stay away. 🙏🏼 I’m pretty sure this is slender leaf milkweed. I sowed a LOT of seeds in fall ‘23. The majority did not mature successfully. Or, honestly…I may have weeded them. Watching these plants grow this year has been exciting.

🤗beautiful!

Wowza!

I’m SO EXCITED! I ordered wine cap mushroom spawn (and a blue oyster mushroom bucket) to grow in my garden!!! With killing the lawn and smothering it with arborist chips, this will hopefully really rejuvenate the soil and improve the clay structure. #gardening #mushrooms

I’ve decided that part of why I am so taken by cedar waxwings is because they are so apart of the background. They’re not eager to show off their beauty. I can hear them. They’re hanging out, often in our neighbor’s madrone. But I rarely ever see them, maybe once a year. #birds #nature

I just took our uvBeast flashlight outside at night…SO COOL. You’ve got to do it!!! #gardening #nature

I bought the light after we bought a house that had prior dogs…best/worst purchase ever.

But to see nature like that? A spider’s legs and belly glowed. Weird bright dots on petals…just do it.

That’s SO COOL!!! 34 shafts? Yowza!

1 month ago. 4-23-25. A glorious collection of mostly native plants. Like, 98% native.

The supports are coming…one step at a time.

I use coyote urine, too! It seems to work! I’ve tried so many things.

Got rid of the front lawn last fall—with 3 #chipdrop deliveries and a lot of sweat. Just got 2 espalier apple trees in the ground with our new garden beds. This is a dream fulfilled at age 45, kids. 🥹🥰#getridofyourlawn #gardening

I love my neighbors. I really do. They both have more than an acre, I only have 1/3 acre. But I fight English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry on either side. Oh—and shiny geranium. I JUST finished removing English Ivy from my big hill. I don’t want to do it AGAIN! 😭

The deer ate my wild gingers both times I planted them. Or something did. I usually blame the deer when there’s NOTHING left behind. It’s just such a cool plant. Maybe one day i’ll try again.

I get you! 😍same same. Plus, the rain is so beautiful!

My neighbor in Alaska left his door open. I watched, wide-eyed, as a porcupine waddled in. I was like, “HELLO!!! Sir? SIR!!! If you can hear me, a PORCUPINE just went inside your house!” It was under his bed. Surprise!!!
