🪦 New Yorkers are in front of the New York Stock Exchange for a mass die-in to symbolize how these devastating cuts will destroy families & take lives. Deep spending cuts to programs like healthcare, food assistance, and education is a matter of life & death for millions. Congress: #StopTheCuts!

In FOUR years, huh? Hmm. 🧐From The Guardian:

I have always known joy as a fleeting gift. After reading this hygge poem-which literally makes me LOL & tear up-I am experiencing her as a presence in my daily life. Hope it helps some (ALL?!) of you good hearts in these dark times.

This one, “I vant to BLOOM.”

This reflective, sunlit morning glory vine against my flower box felt like poetry

The color of this zinnia (that I grew from seed!) — it looks pretty pink here, but IRL there’s a coral to pink gradient. #zinnia #flowers #coraltopink #gardening #novascotia

Baby Jalapeño and Santana Peppers. I started them indoors in March! At this rate, it’ll take longer than it takes to make a human baby! #peppers #gardening

I just remembered bath powder. Was out watering & got overpowered by the scent of this dianthus which IS MY CHILDHOOD…but why? On the Gulf Coast we grew no carnations. Then 💡: carnation scented bath powder in a fancy round box with a big powder puff! Does anyone use those anymore? #carnations

(1) Last night we had a thunderstorm in Cape Breton. We went out and sat on the porch swing, snuggled under a blankie counting how far away the strikes were.~ 2 km or so. Being there after dark brought up a childhood memory of being on a porch swing…

Zinnia! I have been waiting so long to see you! It is just tiny, but the color doesn’t disappoint! More to come. #flower #zinnias #gardening
