I’m (kind of) glad I saw a few before they pulled’em. Absolutely reprehensible; smarmy and clueless tech bros, making life difficult for millions of us.

(and pasta came close in a random top three survey)

Totally! (glances furtively at my two cat companions… but they took turns keeping me up last night 🙃)

Terrifying

Northern Lights observed during a break in cloudy skies, Wisconsin, April 2023

I had a similar experience in April 2023

Yay to good days (and to that plant!! 💚)

I’m going to try to read a few chapters of a library loaned book (due to return soon), then perhaps get a walk in.

I’m looking forward to seeing some of our first bees emerge. Glad this queen revived! We’ve had some needed rain; today is sunny and windy, and warm temperatures are expected the next couple of days. But we’re still in the season of “false springs” here, so possibly snow later this week.

On a kitchen shelf: Tulips in shades of pink, yellow and orange are arranged in little pottery vases, before a cobalt blue jar, plate, and teapot.

S Wisconsin #FlowerReport: a few tulips, and a belief that spring is near. “The older I grow the more do I love spring and spring flowers. Is it so with you?”

Gasping 😮 (I’m a huge admirer of riparian ecosystems)

“Punch Nazis” isn’t a manifestation of some kind of unexamined old superstitious violent prejudice unacceptable in modern liberal societies, it’s a fully informed distillation of an entire modern generation’s experience of having to kill millions of actual fucking Nazis

Light blue butterflies on purple flowers. Green grass in the background.

Everything is terrible in the world right now except for these Silvery Blue butterflies enjoying some vetch flowers. #Bloomscrolling 🦋

Sale: I hope that the “powers that be” send you the very best stewards 🏞️

Okay, it’s on me that I didn’t recognize that a “sieg heil”media blast from Pete Hegseth every morning would become a daily thing, but holy hell, what an assault on my senses.

A favorite tactic of the right, voter suppression 😡

Bright pink flowers laying on the ground with a blue hyacinth.

The camellia is absolutely covered with blossoms this spring, they even put on a show when they drop.

Flowers on what I think is a fruitless plum tree, but who really knows, are popping off, while the shyer buds are still thinking about it...

The bud is shy,
but the wind
removes her veil suddenly...

My photo of another of my camellia blooms this morning and tucked away just behind the bloom is a little wasp nest.

A lovely camellia bloom from my #garden is giving me joy this morning, and if you look just behind this lovely, you'll spot a little wasp nest tucked away. Sometimes, it's the little things that makes you smile.🌱☘️🍃

Multicolored tulips: pink, yellow and red, red and orange. With green stems and leaves.

My tulips are blooming. I dedicate these to everyone opposed to war, violence, and suffering.

Purple crocuses with bright yellow orange stamens growing through grass.

The world is on fire but spring returns in spite of our stupidity. #FlowerReport

Sunday #FlowerReport from S Wisconsin: the basket of tulip bulbs at peak bloom. I have enjoyed watching them emerge over the past 4 weeks. Best wishes and kind regards, dear correspondents. Meteorological spring begins today.

Bittersweet. You’ve got this

Crocuses (and trees) are ever so helpful!
I am doing supper and a concert with friends this evening; I am studiously avoiding chaotic developments (that are so very outside of our control). We need to protect our peace ☮️
