*Searching for common ground. I love trees, houseplants, dogs, public sculpture, fresh train graffiti, meteorology, great architecture, old houses and my significant other.

I'm eating a slice of pie in front of my SADD light and pouring over this catalog of #minnesota #native #plants. The goal is to diversify my #prairie plantings.
I'm remembering a visit to this nursery atop a #glacial hill, overlooking lake #Minnewaska near Glenwood, MN on a stormy Spring day.

Cleaning basil seed. Also did Anise hyssop. Feels appropriate for the day after the #Solstice. Smells like summer in here.

NOT A KNITTER
I can NOT figure out tension. Unraveling to start fresh, but the tiny micro fibers are suffocating me. Throwing whole mess into trash. #knot #knitter

Cool, yes I had learned something about these dodads not being flowers, but you summed this up nicely! Thanks.

I always wanted to get this beautiful oak with the aurora behind it. Only took me 6+ years of trying, worth it.
Have a beautiful day #Bluesky folk 😘
