fleeting suncatchers
their measured, delicate drip
provides no warning
to the grinding, abrupt crash
of icicles from the eaves

Too many say, “It’s just like a head cold”.
I had it in November. It’s not a head cold!

Get the booster, mask & distance

If you're looking to purchase native plants for your area, try to pick a supplier in the same seed zone that you are in. US forest service has a webmap to use to help you. Just click the webmap link on the following page and click your area.

Locally grown is always best though.

I don't know why I was surprised to look out & see a snowglobe of swirling snow out the window; it is late January, after all. But this winter, & even the past couple have been so warm & dry that it came as a bit of a shock.

big, fat, fluffy flakes
an increasing rarity
in this warming world

Don't be cold tonight because of drafty doors. An old twin/full sheet tossed over the door before closing it will seal a lot of drafts. Let the sheet pool at the bottom to block that draft too.
Of course you need to adjust at the door jam too.
Sleep warm. Be happy. Save money. 😅

In my continuing effort to recycle and reuse unneeded objects around the house, I recently returned some large glass vases to the wonderful local florist who had used them for arrangements like this. They were thrilled! I saved one vase to use as my “lettuce washing” vase. I fill it with a mix of water and white vinegar to soak and help sanitize the leaves. Everything has a purpose, and if done right, that purpose can evolve. #Reuse #Recycle #Rejoice

Please vote blue, I like having representative democracies as our allies.

America's standing in the world, has gone up dramatically since Joe Biden replaced Donald Trump, as shown by ⁦nonprofit ⁦Pew Research⁩.

Rise and shine and know that you can withstand whatever today throws at you, and you can do it in style.
