"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."
~ Agatha Christie

Sometimes, it even has cool #weather events. One day I was looking out the window & I saw a giant butterfly pollinating a flower! I thought to myself u know what? Hell yeah. Go #nature!..& that’s pretty rad.

U know what?! I love the #planet. It’s pretty cool.(I’m mean it’s getting hotter but u get it) It has oceans & mountains & lakes & rainforests & stuff.

The climate doesn’t have time to wait for politics to agree that it’s worth saving. If u have a lawn plz consider planting a pollinator garden. If u don’t have a lawn but want to help consider volunteering your time with your local extension office or community gardens. #climate

ADHD is: hyper-fixating on a topic for 6 months & becoming an expert in record time. Then setting aside new expert level skill for the rest of your life bc burnout but also SQUIRREL! 🐿️ <———🙄

“Your garden doesn’t ask for perfection. It only asks you to be present. To tend it when you’re able and find sanctuary when you need it. Your garden is an expression of love shown through your service to its care. Be yourself and be present and your garden will meet you where you’re at.” ~💖 Dez
A garden teaches #love and encourages you to #learn through seasons of #loss and of triumph. Start small and work to something big. You are so capable of great things. #gardening #motivation
A #garden is an ever evolving thing. You #growup with your garden in both age and experience. You both #bloom into something #beautiful that you can be proud of. A garden #teaches #patience and understanding.
“Never forget that a garden is always a work of heart.“ ~Dez
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or we can rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” ~Abraham Lincoln #quotes
“When the world wearies and society fails to satisfy, there is always the garden.” ~Minnie Amounier
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
✨ I miss the #lizards in the winter. They’re so fun to watch skittering around and #hunting #bugs and basking in the #summer #sunshine ✨
My favorite thing about #gardening is making a safe space for friends like this #greenanole he is beautiful.
✨I don’t know about you but a yellow flower and a happy bee always lifts my spirits. 🐝 ✨

It doesn’t have to be a paper straw ya know? It can also be a biodegradable straw made from other plants like agave. They’re more drinking straw like. I don’t understand why we can’t agree to limit single use plastics as a bipartisan issue in general. WE DONT EVEN NEED THEM TO BE PLASTIC ANYMORE.
I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
If aliens pull up…
