I can't decide if this one is hostile, or emotionally supportive.

I've saved memes for years but never really looked in that folder. They're all good for points made well, but you know, kind of hostile. People don't listen when they are angry. So I thought I'd clean out that folder and delete the confrontational stuff. I'm finding it's not just fluff that's left, some of it makes a good point, gently.

@Minholkin recently shared a photo of her beach visit. I was taken by it, the simplicity of the composition but the complexity of the wave shapes and colors, how you can imagine walking barefoot on the wet sand and wading out to the far shoals...

I usually work from my own photos. I asked her if she would allow me to use hers as a reference/inspiration for a painting. I'm so glad she said yes.

It's almost done.

A couple of months ago, I was very excited when my bladderwort finally put up a flower. It's a weed, one of many I was delighted to find in some live moss I bought (it had a total of 12 pitcher plant seedlings and 3 flytraps as well as this unidentified bladderwort). I've had it almost two years, waiting for it to flower. I've been staring at the buds for two months, eagerly anticipating the bloom opening so I could finally identify my little hitchhiker. Whatever it is, it's laughing at me.

Maybe the dogs think I like noseprints on my glasses all the time, so when they see me clean them, they're trying to be helpful by putting them back?

⬆️ Open for suggested chick names. Don’t know if this little chick will grow up to be a hen or a rooster, so the name should be able to go either way. Also, something easy to yell if I’m trying to get the chicken’s attention someday once it’s big and running around. 😂

I probably still have one, if I could only remember what my email was back then...

I decided to register on a special interest forum, and okay I understand that's sending me back in time as it is, but they do still have posts that are recent. Then during registration they ask for an ICQ number and I feel ancient.

Angela has spent years making tiny picnic spreads for a friendly neighborhood chipmunk. She regularly posts the footage of this adorable project on her instagram. I love the adorable chipmunk sized dishes holding various nuts and there's even flower vases in some. What a wonderful relationship she's established with this beautiful creature ❤️

Just… hug each other once in a while.

Ya know?

There should be a name for the sound of so much energy in the air, you can preemptively sense the lightning, searching to earth.

Has anybody told you that they are grateful for you, today?

No?

Well, I am.

I am grateful for you and glad you are here.

💙
