I got to see Silent Light perform a live heavy metal soundtrack for the 1926 silent film, Faust. It was awesome!

I highly recommend seeing them if you get a chance, & I hope I can see them again sometime

I think Tales from the Vienna Woods is my favorite Strauss waltz. I wonder why the Blue Danube is more popular

She must not realize that horseradish, mustard, & wasabi are all closely related plants. Radishes are in the same family too

Congrats!

Round 2 of Maifest dancing went well. Lovely weather & fortunately it didn’t rain!

Next weekend is round 3, but it might be 90° 😬

First day of the new job went well I think! Just have a lot to learn ahead of me. Very grateful for the opportunity to work in an industry I enjoy

Hm, no screaming, just hooting

We also have a lot of hawks and buzzards around here, but I see those during the daytime

Oh no! 🙏

There is an owl outside my window right now

It feels like everything is collapsing, but at least there are flowers & birdsong

I hope you feel better!

Oh interesting! The main grocery chains where I’m from do have ‘s on the official store names (and so most people call Aldi Aldi’s), and when I lived in SE Michigan I had a hard time not adding ‘s to Kroger & Meijer 😂

Wait…Meijer & Kroger don’t have possessive ‘s, right? Which Michigan grocery store has one?

I thought you might like to see the dumpster fire I made :)

A close up of the rose window panel. It is all organic swooshing lines and a lovely stylized red rose

I loved loved loved making these mackintosh rose windows for my friend’s living room. And then he up and moved because he FeLl iN LoVe aNd GoT MaRriEd

Thank you!

Do some new hybrids not provide food for bees? Good to know!

May I ask how you researched to make sure the one you got will be good for bees?

Just followed those who added me in the last 2 weeks all at once, so if I missed giving you a follow back lmk!
