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

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

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.

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 ☮️

Winter in Minnesota sunset. The colors of Gold, silver and bronze of the Olympics. The State with the most Winter Olympics this time - Minnesota ✨

Did you know … The State with the most medals in this past winter Olympics:

A meal is served on a wooden tray: a tossed green salad, garlic bread, and minestrone soup

A month into bereavement. I’m still being nourished with food provided by friends and family: minestrone and a green salad feels culinary love.

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided. (🎁 link:)

I am buffeted on a several times daily basis, by the abject cruelty of this government. It’s unspeakable, but here we still are.

😮

Thank you. I love making pictures 🤳

You see correctly! We had a strong, wet storm skirt our area this past Friday… it had been very mild a week ago, but temperatures are back in the teens/twenties this week. Sooo: seasonable temperatures, windy and dry here. Hopeful for a wetter March.

A sunny windowsill hosts three flowerpots holding amaryllis bulbs. Two are blooming; one is in bud.

Today’s S Wisconsin #FlowerReport: a month away from the spring equinox, we’re getting through winter with these helpful amaryllis (hippeastrum) bulbs. These are all plants that I have kept growing for a few years. So rewarding! Best and kindest regards to all correspondents.
