Hung a lamp. Totally get why my mom’s boyfriend(who’s an electrician) doesn’t wanna hang stuff like this in his free time. Took forever because wiring was a mess. But we’ll be eating dinner under the lights 😎

Went hiking yesterday. Something was off when Dingo started whelping. He tugged at his leash and zigzagged while he sniffed like a pinball back and forth across the trail. That’s when we saw the DEAD STAG rotting in the water. Someone smarter than me tell us what this omen means? #scriptsky

When we first moved to L.A. I ran around the city collecting all the free plants I could to help transform our dingy, old apartment into a home. To say they needed a lot of love was an understatement. They needed soil, bug treatments and water, lots of water. These are some favs I’ve revived
