Some things in life just shouldn’t be this difficult. I am trying to do one last renewal on my teaching certification. I have all the coursework required, but the process is a nightmare. UGH! #retiredteacher

Every year I like to try something new. This year I hope to dry nasturtiums to save their peppery goodness. 🌼 #gardening #growyourown #smallfarm

It isn’t a bad way to spend some time on a Monday morning 🫛 #peas #garden #growyourown #smallfarm

Welcome August 🌾🌞 It was upon a Lammas night, When corn rigs are bonie, Beneath the moon’s unclouded light, I held awa to Annie; The time flew by, wi’ tentless heed, Till, ‘tween the late and early, Wi’ sma’ persuasion she agreed To see me thro’ the barley. –Robert Burns (1759–96)

A quick trip to the #garden 🌿🫛🫐 #growyourown #smallfarm

As a retired middle school teacher, this is a home run! 😂😜😂 #teaching #writing

11 minutes and well worth listening. The end speaks to fear. In the 2024 election, I experienced, for the first time, concern about putting a Harris sign on my lawn. This should not be our country… one.npr.org?sharedMediaI...

When did you realize you were an adult? For me, 40 years ago in an apartment in Maryland, I looked at the sink and knew if I didn’t wash the dishes, they would never get done. #adultlife

When you really would like a snack, but don’t have one… make your own, roasted chickpeas #snack

Just be kind…this is me 😝

Could be worse 😂📖😂

I will no longer feel self conscious taking care of my chickens in my pajamas. I just saw my neighbor weed whacking in a Speedo 😜 #cantunseeit

"You can shape the future," the governor continued. "The future's not just something to experience. It's something to manifest. It's not in front of you. It's inside of you. Decisions, not conditions, determine our fate and future, and it's a reminder of your power at this moment." ~CA Gov. Newsom

…rural hospitals would lose $50 billion over the next decade if the GOP’s crackdown on the provider tax went into effect. This is us Sen. Susan Collins! The loss of funding for Maine Care is closing hospitals across your rural state. apple.news/AZ1_qra8gT-S...

The word of the day is awkward. Going to an awkward family gathering with an awkwardly shaped gift that my son-in-law has to help my carry. Wish me luck! 🙄 #awkward #family #wordoftheday
