I think 4” is fine if you’re putting it on top of enriched soil.

Family leisure powers woman’s work. Checks out.

Make sure you get well under it when you dig it up. If you’re hoping to hold it for a while, lay down some good quality potting soil in your bin or container. Try to keep the environment as close to the original as possible until you’re ready to replant. Don’t let the edges dry out.

Probably did inspire carpet! There is a magical quality to moss that brings to mind fairies and tiny worlds. Lush.

Crazy times! Talk about wrong coat weather! It’s definitely been wrong shoes weather here this week.

I love moss! I used to try to transplant it as a kid (and as an adult I must admit). I’m up for this challenge.

I just canceled a trip to Wisconsin tomorrow because they’re about to get a blizzard. We had 85 degrees on Wednesday then a 50 degree drop and snow on Thursday! That was noteworthy!

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Yes! And Horton Hears a Who helps develop compassion for “others” who may live in different places or circumstances.

Reading the littles Yertle the Turtle today to instill that necessary foundational anti-fascist message.

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

As a transplant from NJ, I cannot adequately express the level of dread I have for going to the gas station.

Yesterday I had grandson (4) and granddaughter (3) —cousins not siblings. The earnest car conversation between these two was the highlight of my week. They each recounted, in glorious detail, their most recent experiences puking in inconvenient places. They would love a good cow story.

Quite.

We’re essentially leaderless. No one wants to take the risk; they think a collapse is imminent and then they can charge into the void. My Cassandra senses are signaling dangerous and prolonged chaos. I’m really trying to center my small and immediate joys as a survival plan.

🫂 to you too, ND. Isn’t this muddy, moldy atmosphere just stifling? Each day requires more caffeine and an increasingly deliberate search for that little hope gem I desperately clutch.

A thunderstorm is a great opportunity to reset and revel in the relief of the aftermath!

Good morning, Janice! Thanks for this sample —lovely work and the promise of spring! I hope your day is warm and gentle.

It was always a data heist.

But is it really refocusing or more like an intense jolt of attention soon to burn out?

Jersey girls have always known how to say “Seriously?” In a way that should stop anyone cold.

This administration and all the MAGA following which has always scoffed at expertise is about to find out in the short term and long term just how ridiculously stupid their decisions have been. Even then, their voters might not make those connections.

I always figured those two families were friends. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The problem and blame doesn't just fall on Trump. But the US senators who confirmed this cabinet -- especially Pete Hegseth -- should never escape blame for the moral failure they have inflicted on the world.

Oh no! Each one individually in excruciating detail.

The “just asking questions” guys should have done the assigned reading in school.
