How lovely! I'm glad you enjoyed the ride in such a beautiful day 😍

Four whimsical, handmade crafts shaped like tiny bugs are arranged on a light wooden surface. Each figure is created from a small, shiny jingle bell—two in gold and two in silver—featuring a pair of large, playful googly eyes. Every bell is topped with a ribbon tied into a bow to look like wings, with two wearing bright red ribbons and two in a soft, pale pink. The little characters rest on small, fuzzy cushions of orange and peach-colored yarn, set against a neutral, textured off-white wall.

😂😍 oh my it was you!!!
whenever I received 👀 from someone, I made them

Potted plants on a wooden deck during early spring. Several ceramic and terracotta pots contain purple-green leafy plants and emerging green daffodil shoots. A light dusting of snow is visible on the soil and plants, indicating a late winter or early spring morning. The plants include ivy, ornamental cabbage or kale with purple and green leaves, and daffodils with yellow buds just beginning to emerge from their green stalks. The pots are arranged closely together, with a large rust-colored terracotta pot in the background and smaller white and dark gray pots in the foreground. The wooden deck boards are visible beneath the plants.

Much-needed snow ❄️ A bit of snow dusted my tiny plant nursery this morning. The hardy ornamentals and early daffodils are weathering the surprise just fine.

Take care, friends 🤝🫶

A white ceramic bowl filled with roasted vegetables sits on a denim-blue textured cloth napkin near a window. The dish contains bright green broccoli florets and vibrant red cherry tomatoes, which appear slightly blistered and caramelized. Chunks of pale cauliflower are also visible, and the vegetables are sprinkled with what seems to be red pepper flakes or herbs. Two silver forks rest beside the bowl, and a soft-focus landscape in evening light can be seen through the window in the background.

My go-to quick side dish is this Mediterranean veggie bake. I love the savory, nutty bliss of slightly charred broccoli cooked in a cast-iron pan.
From tofu to salmon to turkey, it's great with almost anything. It's easy and tasty 😋

'Easter comet' could be visible in daytime skies this April — if it survives a fiery dive past the sun A newly discovered comet is rapidly brightening and could become visible from Earth — if it survives an extreme close encounter with the sun on April 4.

A newly discovered comet could be visible if... ☄️
"Should Comet MAPS survive its close brush with the sun on April 4, it might briefly become a conspicuous object in the western twilight sky between April 8 and April 14. Use Venus to help guide you to the comet."

🫂 Ah, Pekka, thank YOU🫂

A serene dusk landscape showing a calm lake with subtle ripples on its surface in the foreground. The sky above transitions from soft pink and orange hues near the horizon to pale blue at the top. A silhouetted tree-covered hillside stretches across the distant horizon, creating a dark contrast against the pastel-colored sky. The water gently reflects the twilight colors, creating a peaceful, tranquil scene.

In a world that offers no reprieve, I hope these quiet ripples find you.
May the steady flow soothe our weary souls, even for just a moment.
Tale care, friends 🙏❤️‍🩹🤝

Aw, thank YOU 😍

Oh my, thank you 😍
The kitchen torch was such a success (I got a little one, not an industrial one like yours), so I might try it! 👩‍🍳

🤯It's my first time seeing this! There's always something surprising at your dinner table! 😍

Ah 😍 I'm SO glad yousaw!
Sometimes you just need to soak it all in without a camera 🥰

What a great way to capture depth!

A close-up view of a slender brown plant stem extending diagonally from the upper right toward the center. At the tip, a small cluster of fresh green leaves and a group of delicate tiny white flowers bloom. The leaves are bright green, oval to lanceolate with smooth margins, and some show a slightly pointed tip. The flowers are small, white, and star-like, arranged in a tight cluster around the stem. The background is softly blurred, featuring a mix of green foliage, brown branches, and glimpses of the sky, suggesting a natural outdoor setting such as a forest edge.

The tiny bloom sparkles in the gentle rain, welcoming hummingbirds and nectar-lovers. Osoberry opens early, like a well-lit breakfast diner at dawn. 🌿🌼

What a heartfelt story, full of a mom's love 🥰 Thank you, Ann, for introducing Lisa. I just followed.
BTW, I'd take a book-piled up in Jenga style, or open-book-waves crushing room over a perfectly sterile one any day! 📚✨🔖

A close-up view of a book titled “A Year of Ikigai” resting on a light wooden surface. The cover design features a large red circle with decorative, repeating patterns along the edges and bold blue typography that reads “A Year of Ikigai.” Subtitles and author credits appear in smaller text near the bottom: “Finding Everyday Purpose Through Japanese Wisdom” and “Nicholas Kemp, Founder of Ikigai Tribe.” To the left of the book stands a small, dark, sculpted pelican figurine. In the background, white horizontal blinds cover a window, slightly out of focus, filtering soft light onto the scene.

Excited to share this with you all and celebrate a friend in Australia, Nicholas Kemp & his book, A Year of Ikigai. 👍💙
Nick has spent decades studying the concept beyond stereotypes. Honored to have contributed to his work, however tiny, and proud to support a friend who has sought deeper meaning 😆
