I've lived with this aloe plant for over a decade, and never even knew it could / would bloom?!? Is this a bad sign that the plant is stressed (make babies before death type signals)? I'm thrilled to see this, but also worried for my friend. #houseplant #aloe #succulent #aloevera #bloom

I return to this picture often in winter, when needing a moment of calm. The pot broke a few years back. My dad made the blue dish in his beginners pottery class. May you find a moment here or there for yourself, and even more importantly, with your people. #Tea #Teasky #Puer #shou #AbolishICE

Snow storm day. A small brown teapot with no lid sits in a bath of shou puer tea, within a blue ceramic dish. All around is snow. In the background, a tuft of winter grass sticks up.

This guy is so familiar. I swear he's from around the Portland area. Like maybe he helped you open that hipster bar, but then he groped the bartenders, stole the servers tips for coke, and in the end ghosted you to go work in the Cannabis industry. You know this guy. #Maine #Portland

Came back from Barcelona vermut pilled. Now paying my education costs trying to replicate / chase that dragon. It seems there's some good choices available here in Maine. More so for sure than hunting down Priorat reds up here. #Barcelona #vermut #catalonia #Lahoradelvermut #chasingthedragon
