Since it’s Valentine’s Day, here’s a shiny rose.

#Bird folks, our Friday Night Zillow hero Steven requested bird pics to honor a dear friend he lost today. Please add your finest to this lovely feed.

As quite possibly the only not-a-fan of the guy who doesn't get penalized for poor technique on a Bonaly Backflip, I had planned on just watching a few of the male figure skaters I actually do like on the replay. But after seeing the headlines, I'm gonna watch the whole dang thing 🍿.... #Olympics

My new life goal is to secure a job that pays $223,500 and doesn’t require me to know shit about anything….

#IceSkating hack for viewing today’s Rhythm Dance - watch Venue Feed version of the replay with closed captions turned on. The regular feed plays the chatter over the music, which you can barely hear. The Venue feed plays the music at normal volume with the chatter CC as only. #NBCSucks at #Olympics

🚨🚨IT IS BASEBALL SEASON

In the men’s skating today, Malinin jumped a lot and Sato was breathtaking, but Matteo Rizzo brought me to tears. #Olympics

I'm watching skating, but neighbor across the street was watching superb owl. They've turned off their tv, so the game must not be going well.

Gathering together for #SuperbOwl Sunday #EastCoastKin #HandmadeJewelry

Please, somebody, write these! 🏳️‍🌈📚❤️

Happy #SuperbOwl Sunday!

My two walking styles are the summer sashay and the winter waddle.

Since everyone’s watching #Olympics ice skating, it’s a good time to look back to the 1984 Olympics and two amazing couples giving the performances of their lives. First, the most perfect ice dance performance ever. Torvill & Dean's ‘Bolero’. It still makes me cry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ob...

It’s finally time for us to order cookies!! I like to wait a bit and then buy from girls and troops that haven’t yet met their goals. @erininthemorning.com thank you for putting together this list every year!! 🍪❤️

Watching speed skating and remember why I hate that NBC covers the Olympics - the commentators never, ever, ever not for a single second ever shut the fuck up. It’s actually okay to let us just watch the events.

Reading all the comments about the US prime-time replay of the olympics opening ceremony makes me soooo happy that I wfh and could watch the live, unfuckedup version this afternoon.

Because a girl can never have too many books…..

Love watching the final torchbearers stroll, instead of the usual jog or run.

peacock’s closed caption can’t figure out what to do with Italian Opera, and the results are kinda funny.

I have no idea who the woman in the gold/silver outfit is or what is happening now….

Those USA sweaters really put the butt in buttugly

Ya’ll can go home, we have a winner…..

I still have a bunch of gallon water and milk jugs to give away if anyone needs them to #WinterSow #Portland #Maine #VegetableGardening #FlowerGardening #Gardening

Portland! This starts in just a few hours..... #Maine

A truly inspiring thread...

It's a gorgeous Maine day, and I'd love to be outside, but I have to be in my studio making pretty things. As consolation, I stopped at #TwoFatCats to pick up storm supplies*. Let it snow!!!! ❄️ ❄️❄️❄️❄️ *two pies and a peanut butter cookie

If any Portland area gardeners are #wintersowing this year and need jugs, let me know. I have lots of gallon jugs, and will have more available every week. #wintersow #Maine

Brilliant. I wonder if anything like this will be created in Maine, if needed.

Post a #car picture you took. #photography

It’s really really super really frustrating to be so old that I’ve been screaming into the void about how the right wing fascists are planning to destroy this country since 1980’s Reagan and how every election since has been ‘the most important election of our lives’ and…*sigh* I was not wrong.

Oh, oh, oh…art challenge!!!!!

Christmas is nice and whatever, but Pączki showed up in my grocery store today and this is truly The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

I used to love football but now I don’t give a rats ass about it and even I’m happy that the Packers lost today. Um, er, I mean that the Bears won today.

Settled in for a quiet TV Saturday night. Tried People We Meet On Vacation, but Henry wrote only one good book and this was not it, so I tried His & Hers because it’s a genre I love but omg it’s so tedious. Guess I’m gonna have to watch Heated Rivalry, again. Please send condolences and wine.

Yes, I know the rule….

All I get is politics (much of that is reposts), art, and birds. I follow 1.7K accounts and probably never see 90% of them. I’ve pinned a lot of feeds, but most don’t have a lot of activity. On the other side, I have almost 1K followers and it feels like only a few ever see my posts. Frustrating.

*looking at next week's forecast for Portland Maine and digging out warm weather clothes*

It’s been so cold lately in Maine that my first thought when I noticed the outside temp is 25 degrees (at 1-sh am) was ‘wow, it’s warm tonight'

Seed buying day continues…. Realized that one pack of basil seeds costs less than one basil plant at the nursery *adds a dozen herb seed varieties to order* Found a very pretty echinacea collection and decided that the far corner of my back yard could use some color

It’s seed buying day. I have so many left from last year that I only need a few things, but the temptation to buy a bunch of ‘oh, pretty!’ has hit. I don’t need 250 fancy viola seeds in 5 very pretty colors. My yard’s not that big, and no one sells the seeds in packs of 10 🤣 🌱 #VegetableGardening

It's snowglobing in Portland #Maine

2025 is gone, my tummy is full of chocolate tartlet and champagne. Time to start 2026 curled up on the sofa with a good book…. Happy New Year and sweet dreams, y’all.

Some folks a couple blocks over determined that 12:16 am is the perfect time to set off New Year’s fireworks…...

BALL DROP TIME!!!

I found the source....Patrick is to blame for starting this fabulous photo thing. Nicely done, Patrick. Happy New Year!

One of my favorite things about New Year's is that wishing someone a Happy New Year offends pretty much no one and it's a thing I can say to everyone I interact with from Dec 26th through most of January.

NYE dinner was lobster mac 'n cheese - lobster meat from a waterfront seafood place over Amato's baked macaroni and cheese. An easy and tummy tradition on either Xmas Eve or NYE since we moved to #Maine
