Speaking of bluebirds, this is a favorite #WorstBirdPic of mine for #PhotoFailFriday. A truly unfortunate #StickHappens moment! 😅

islamic christology is probably the funniest theological field because the things muslims believe about jesus are fundamentally 99% identical with the things christians believe to a genuinely funky extent. like including the "he'll come back at the end of days to battle the antichrist" part

Duck party

Ok, supplies were limited so I just got one.

The shop says there are 3 more available!

I think we need three, even if the Elder Grandteens don't "do" Easter baskets anymore

a close up of 6 or 7 turtles tumbling out of an egg. these are so small they could balance on your fingertip, and each is a different wild combination of colors! there are pastels, shiny rainbows, deep blues and bright greens.

a shot from above showing 6 different eggs. every egg is totally random colors in funny stripes, since we have them printed with filament that otherwise would have been wasted during color changes

a little stack of 10 turtles on top of each other!

three different eggs. One is purples and black stripes, one is bright oranges and rainbows, one is bright bright pink mixed in with teal & purple stripes

This one is a Blue Sky Special. Everyone keeps asking us if they can just buy the tiny freebie turtles (or multiple of the tiny freebie turtles) so now you can buy a Tiny Turtle Army in mystery colors! They all hatch from a cute randomly colored egg!

Dallas Blooms at the Arboretum

Before we get another round of rain, I made it back to the Dallas Arboretum. The daffodils and hyacinths are at peak bloom. Tulips are at ninety percent bloom. Definitely needed this.
