need to work but there's a cat in my lap and a perfect americano in my favorite mug
#softlife

connections this, impressions that, but never just be

the road so far 🤘🏼

I'm like 97% done with my rainbow island in #acnh but this update has caused a few welcome setbacks

"Wow I love working with my hands for a living!"
*proceeds to injure hand*

Someone called those newer Christmas tree collars (like the alternative to a tree skirt) a tree prison, and now that's all I can think of whenever I see them

Anyway, I'm in need of a tree skirt. Maybe even a tree prison.

Damn, I forgot my Christmas tree-decorating pantyhose

Stayed up late yesterday after finishing out my work week, slept in today, just now getting started on our Thanksgiving feast for 2 🥰 Bring on the long weekend!

"Wow I'm super hungry but it's not lunch time yet. Better distract myself with a new audiobook"

*starts Water Moon* 😭🤤😭🤤😭😭😭 #bookrecommendations

I miss summer :( #bloomscrolling #cosmos #cottagecore

Turns out, I hate 'cinematic' audiobooks. Learn something new every day.

oh to be a chickadee on the tallest twig of the tallest tree

I'm considering getting a tattoo of field bindweed around my ankle, just for the rage bait factor. #gardening

a photo of a rose of calendula flowers, with bright yellow flowers at the top of the row, fading to deep orange flowers at the bottom of the row

It was very thoughtful of these calendulas (which reseeded themselves) to grow in a perfect gradient 💛🧡💚 #bloomscrolling

sometimes you have to laugh so you don't cry 🫠 #gardening #america

that sounds very comforting 💕

I couldn't find the ball that unlocks it 🧐😂

a photo of the Lincoln Memorial statue up close

Last night I visited the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial and it really affected me. We've come so far, only to regress nearly as much. #america #dc

a photo of the capital columns at the National Arboretum in DC

Preeeetty sure there's a Zelda shrine here

I've been enjoying my vacation immensely, but will admit here that you could probably leave me on a hillside with 1 to 3 mildly interesting plants (any region) and I would be happily occupied for an entire day or so. #gardening #foraging #nature

so pretty!

2 fully bloomed creamy-orange roses and 6 vibrant orange rose buds on the top of a climbing rose bush. The bush is against a wall with a wooden trellis for support

all of my roses are starting to slow down, with the exception of Golden Opportunity 💛✨🌹 not bad for a year 2 plant! #bloomscrolling #roses #gardening
