This is my parsley patch. On a whim I threw some seeds into a pile of dirt. A small patch grew and I used it when cooking just because. I left it to seed and it peppered the yard with babies. I mow anything outside the box, but now its flowering and attracting bee friends! So Happy! #GardenSky 🌱

📚💙 Ran thru this. It was a book that was on a fantasy feature at the library and I saw it on bsky also. Fairly quick pace, likable characters easy to get swept away with. Loved it but was slightly disappointed I didnt realize there was a sequel until the last chapter! #BookSky #ReadThis #Fantasy

Dark book cover featuring a black wolf surrounded by what seems like a wreath of dark leaves and red berries. With the title "The Wolf King" and author "Lauren Palphreyman" in gold letters in the bottom half of the illustration.

Just finished The Joy of Solitude. Interesting read about a plethora of research dedicated to Solitude. Lots of insight into the benefits of alone time; how some people need more than others and the impact it has on our relationships and moods. 📚 #BookSky #SelfImprovement #Read #NonFic

Yellow book covers reading:
The Joy of Solitude

Being The Mom (TM) means you stand at the counter eating. After everyone has a seat, and a plate. But I guess that just means I'll never burn my tongue on food that's too hot. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #MerryChristmas #DinnerPlate #FamilyTime #TheMom

I've become a more avid reader. I'm puzzled why authors, publishers, and cover designers don't leave open space at the bottom to accommodate the Dewey call letters/numbers libraries add to track and shelve. #BookSky #Books #DesignFlaws #Reading #DeweyDecimal #CutOffTheTitle #BookSpines #JFischer

White book spine with the title "the next coversation" with a white circle drawn around the library's call number adhered to the spine partially covering the last letters of the title. Book is sitting on a chrome edged glass top stove, and has been cropped for emphasis on the spine.

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
Fablehaven by Brandon Mull

Dead Beat by Jim Butcher

Did some work on the yard today. This spot is behind my garage. Outta sight outta mind. Annoyed by the shingles as ground cover, but they have been there since we moved in. Im guessing this used to be a cute planter based on rosebush remnants. #weeds #yardwork #bloomscroll #plants 🌱

Before shot of wild overgrowth of greenery behind my garage. Pale green wall with big plywood covered window opening with lots of weeds and a couple trees over growing a cement block planter area.

After shot of no more greenery behind my garage. Pale green wall with big plywood covered window opening with overlapping asphalt shingles placed on top of a cinderblock planting area to hopefully keep the weeds at bay, which hasn't worked so far - see before photo.

Someone put this on the inside of stall door of the women's room at work. So glad to see the movement being promoted locally!

First sprouts of the season: Grape Hyacinth. Originally volunteers randomly around the yard; I relocated them to this flower box a couple years ago. Looks as tho they could use a little separation. Sidenote: pay no mind to the de@d herbs in the background. Lol #gardensky #garden #bloomscroll

According to your recent voting record, you will not be fighting very hard.
