I’m having Northern Lights envy, but last night’s sunset here was a riot of colors that didn’t disappoint. #Sunset #SubTropics #Calm #November

Early trick-or-treater…

Annie Hall came out the year I graduated from high school. How will I ever make it through The Family Stone this Christmas? Losing Diane Keaton feels like losing a sister.

Came home to warm ocean breezes … and a boatload of quickly ripening bananas. Jumbo banana nut chocolate chip muffins and loaves for everyone! #Bananas #Muffins #Sunday #BloomScrolling #Baking

The simple pleasure of that crisp snap when you pick a perfect green pepper … followed by its unmistakable aroma … #Gardening #BloomScrolling #Homegrown #VegetableGarden #Saturday #GreenPeppers #Peppers

Our Mondays are usually meatless but these tomatoes are telling a different story tonight. #BLT #Gardening #Tomatoes #FirstDayOfFall

On April 18, 1930 the BBC announced, “There is no news” during its evening news broadcast and instead played piano music. So today I’m listening to Joni Mitchell radio and making zucchini bread. Here’s a little sunflower I spotted along the shore of Lake Michigan. #SundayNoNews #SundayYellow #BBC

If jalapeño poppers aren’t on your menu today you haven’t checked your garden recently. #BloomScrolling #Gardening #Sunday

Here is a little zinnia to say “hello”, and to make you happy. #BloomScrolling #Zinnias #Flowers #Monday #Gardening

This morning’s visitor. Didn’t bring coffee but I’ll let it slide… #Swallowtail #Bloomscrolling #Gardening #Friday #Coffee

First tomato! A splendid German Johnson. Waiting on a Mortgage Lifter. Who names these crazy tomato plants? #HeirloomTomatoes #Gardening

I don’t ever recall having so many butterfly visitors. Perhaps we’re closer to this year’s migration path? #IndianaDunes #LakeMichigan #Butterflies #Migration #Flowers #Gardening #Viceroy #Monarchs #Nature

Celebrating nature today. #bees #nature #gardening #flowers

I told my bestie I felt guilty that I couldn't commit to growing vegetables in my garden because it's too hard, and instead I'm growing flowers this year. And she told me "flowers are important because we need more bees and bugs and butterflies!" 🥹 This perspective is needed rn, we all play a part 🫶🏾

Back in the Dunes. A somber day of reflection. The gravitas of the losses memorialized today feel particularly heavy this year. #MemorialDay #IndianaDunes #LakeMichigan #May2025 #StopFascism #BlueWave

No spoilers, but I live for the days that I know the final Jeopardy question and all of the contestants are incorrect. #Jeopardy
