Starting seeds indoors for spring planting 💜 #gardening #homesteading

Another colorful and happy $4.99 Goodwill rescue 💜🧡💙💚🩷💛 #crochet #yarnsky #vintage #cottagecore

The daffodils put on their fancy pants today! #bloomscrolling #flowers

Granny squares weren't challenging enough, so I guess I'll check back in and update everyone on my progress in 2030 💙💛 #crochet #yarnsky

💙💛 wonderful information from @elizabee.bsky.social #bees #bloomscrolling

Netflix and Chill: crochet edition. Today's realization: Explanations are not owed, they are earned. #crochet #yarnsky

***Ruth Bader Hensburg here*** .... to tell you it's time to pick up chicks from your local supplier or TSC 🐥🐥🐥 #chickens #homesteading

I want to brag on my buff orpingtons....14 eggs from 17 ladies in these winter months. And Loretta gets a pass due to her advanced years 💜 #homesteading #chickens

Everything is coming up rainbows.... with how dim the world is looking, I need life to be in technicolor 💜 #yarnsky #crochet

I did not make this- but I was thrilled to find it at goodwill a few months ago for $4.99. I'm always happy to rescue items made with love 💜 #yarnsky #crochet

I am fascinated by these natural dyes done by @crikeys.bsky.social #fiberart #homesteading #gardening

For anyone struggling.... this was a first attempt vs a 4th attempt when I started crocheting again. #yarnsky #fiberarts #crochet

"Spring Threw Up" granny square progress! Yarn is Scheepjies Chunky Monkey #yarnsky #crochet #fiberarts

Bare-root June-bearing strawberries waiting to be added to a large quantity of established ever-bearing plants. Not a super exciting picture, but I'm interested to see how they do in direct comparison! 🍓 #gardening #homesteading #strawberries

I highly recommend this magazine for anyone interested in homesteading! Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday 💜 #homesteading #gardening #chickens

Fantastic butterfly photography and videos! 🦋 The Butterfly House at Navy Pier #butterflies #gardening

Waiting on 4 final colors for my "spring threw up" blanket! And waiting for spring 💜 #yarnsky #crochet #artsandcrafts

I'm still reliving the beautiful cosmos variety from last year. Can't wait to see what this year's seeds produce! 💜 #bloomscrolling #gardening

Color additions to my "Spring Threw Up" blanket. I picked up teals. However, they are reading a bit more blue in the picture. I'm hesitant to add a bright yellow for some reason....maybe a pale yellow; taking suggestions! #crochet #artsandcrafts #yarn #yarnsky

I have this fantastic ladder that has been in the family a few generations that I'm looking to use as a trellis in the garden. I've searched for a few ideas, but if anyone has a specific idea they'd like to share, I'd love to hear it! 💜 #gardening #artsandcrafts #homesteading

Please follow the Butterfly House at Navy Pier below for stunning butterfly photography and information 💜 #butterflies

Crouching Tiger Zinnias from Park Seeds have huge orange blooms on shorter stems that pair nicely with taller annuals. #bloomscrolling #zinnias

Gulf Fritillary butterflies hang around the longest, it seems. #bloomscrolling #butterflies

Persian carpet zinnia- wonderful as an annual ground cover 🧡 #bloomscrolling #gardening

Drying blooms at the end of the season last year. Ready to have NEW pictures of blooms soon! #gardening #bloomscrolling

Ready to check into #seedswap if anyone is interested. I will follow up later with available seeds.

I wanted to share this for those of you interested in more sustainable living content. 💜

Colorway decision making time! Any of these that just don't go? Anything I should add? Should I just go with ALL the colors? Yarn is Scheepjies Chunky Monkey, and there's 92 colors to choose from. I feel like I'm missing a teal. #crochet #yarn #artsandcrafts

The ladies clearly did not understand the assignment today, and they received a stern talking to. They were averaging about 10 eggs a day until now, even throughout the snow a couple of weeks ago. #homesteading #chickens

Colorful garden day from last fall. #gardening #homesteading

Bee on delicate Guara. It's funny taking pictures of them on the Gaura with it bouncing around so much from their bee butt weight 😊 #bloomscrolling #bees

My butterfly friends, do you know what type of swallowtail this is? Spicebush,l or eastern black possibly? I'm getting mixed answers online, and I hope someone can step in and help! #bloomscrolling #butterflies

It was a treat to watch Fernanda sleathfully wait for her meals. #gardening #Invertebrates

Long-tailed Skipper butterfly on a cut-and-come-again zinnia. I thought this was a moth at first, but it appears more tropical butterflies are moving north, and I love it! #butterflies #bloomscrolling

Oh my! I just realized we all made it through January; hopefully all in one piece. Happy February!

Happy Saturday, friends! Here's a bee napping in the shade for you 🧡 #bloomscrolling #bees #gardening

I truly appreciate everyone who has hopped on board here to bluesky. The change is very refreshing! This is my favorite variety of bee balm; I want to say it's called Balmy Purple. #bloomscrolling

Happy Friday! I wanted to share my Lady Banks rose. It only blooms once a year, but when it does, it is stunning with the tiniest of blooms 💜 #bloomscrolling #roses #gardening

Mohawk always side-eyed everyone to peek out from under her fancy feathers 😊 #homesteading #chickens

How many bee butts will fit in a squash blossom? Eight. Eight bee butts. 🐝 (It was going to be very cold that night) #bloomscrolling #bees #gardening

MY IRIS FRIENDS: DO YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THIS IRIS? I've done a Google lens search, but none of the names are popping out at me; possibly because I'm looking for a specific cultivar name. 💜 #bloomscrolling #iris #gardening

Current project (that will need blocking). Fluffy updated granny square blanket. I'm loving the spring colorway! #yarn #crochet #artsandcrafts

Fuscia butterfly bush. Apologies that there is no butterfly in this picture, but wanted to share is deep color! 💜 #bloomscrolling #gardening

This bee read my signs correctly and headed straight for the Bee Balm 💜 #gardening #bloomscrolling #bees

My absolute favorite Bearded Iris that reminds me of an orange Creamsicle. It's cultivar name is Pumkin Cheesecake. #bloomscrolling #gardening

Sharing is caring! I loved finding these 2 bees napping together on a cosmos 💜 #bloomscrolling #bees #gardening

Dolly approves of the bok choy in bloom 💜 #gardening #bloomscrolling #dogs

HAVE A WONDERFUL THURSDAY! I don't know if I enjoy them more in the garden or in my home! #bloomscrolling #gardening

They are living the good life! Please don't tell them they are eating scrambled eggs. 😇 #chickens #backyardchickens #homesteading
