I've blogged poems & small writing lessons for children at The Poem Farm since 2010....no ads, no AI...and today's post is about finding the prize in the day. This photo shows the cherry hand pies that I am making...inspired by the blackberry one I ate! www.poemfarm.amylv.com/2026/07/writ... #Poetry

Oof.

Lots of sage means that we have butter and sage pasta in our future... 😊 (I remembered I had these crazy rain boots so just added them to my garden fun!) 🌱 #Gardensky #Gardening #Sage

Hey so, if you use Waymo driverless car services, you are aiding and abetting fascism. Waymo helps ICE agents locate people to terrorize and abduct. The company willingly shares all facial recognition, license plate and GPS data with ICE and other law enforcement agencies—no subpoena required.

Welcome to Sock Mountain, the growing pile of socks on my wee knitting table. 🧶 #Knitsky #Knitting #Socks #Maker #ShowMeYourKnits #WithMyHands #Handknit

We bought a few new delphinium plants at the Rochester (NY) Public Market this morning. I planted them right away and will love them for years to come. (We also ate breakfast empanadas and blackberry hand pies, so it was a perfect day!) #RochesterPublicMarket #Gardening #GardenSky #Bloomscrolling 🌱

Last minute lunch guests call for making a tiny table bouquet from the garden. But which ones are real flowers...and which ones are printed on the cloth? #Bloomscrolling #GardenSky #Gardening #Home #Vintage 🌱🌻🌼🌺🌸🌷

And so it begins. I went out to water the zillion (free to lucky me) dahlia tubers this morning and saw that raspberries are beginning to ripen. Berry picking will now kick off my mornings. I will eat these, but soon the daily harvests will be jambound! 🌱 #GardenSky #Berries #Summer

It's a hot day to be a knitting assistant. #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats #Knitting #KnitSky #Summer #WesternNY #Claude #HisTailIsMonet 🧶🌱

Ah...the colors and tastes of summer! I needed to harvest spinach to make way for some dahlia tuber gifts...and I also needed an early garlic bulb for tuna salad. #GardenSky #Garlic #Spinach #Summer #Thankful

These delightful foxgloves are hanging on, and I cannot thank them enough. It is good to avert my eyes from the invading lupine aphids. Thank you, Foxgloves! #GardenSky #Foxgloves #Bloomscrolling #CountryLife

I have been making this pineapple cake for my hubby for over 30 years. It is a baking project....and you can read about it here. I wrote this pineapple cake commentary for our local NPR station in 2005. 🍍❣️ Recipe in comments. share.google/SLNddmWdi2Vb... #FathersDay #BakingSky #Cake #Pineapple

Drowning is a leading cause of death for U.S. kids under 5. It can happen silently and in seconds. Assign a water watcher to keep eyes on kids in/near water at all times. Make sure the water watcher has no distractions.

A few plants (columbine, lupine, poppy) are starting to go to seed here in 6b, so I am folding seed envelopes to share this summer's bounty with interested friends. Winnie helps by being beautiful as she guards her geraniums. #GardenSky #Gardening #Seeds #Summer #Gardening #WithMyHands #Origami 🌱

I bought leeks and mushrooms at the market this weekend, and they mixed with eggs, milk, half & half, and cheddar to become a quiche! #Quiche #Cooking #SimplePleasures #Stitching

Yesterday I bought 8 quarts of strawberries from our lovely, local Hen Hawk Acres, and today they become jam! #Summer #Canning #Strawberries #WithMyHands #SimplePleasures #Grateful #Home

People can be fabulous. It is important for me to remember this fact. ❣️

Winnie would like to offer you a vicarious catnip experience on this beautiful #Caturday #Cats #LongHairedCats
