My kid’s friend came over today in a shirt that read “Boys are Better in Books” and I could not agree more

I’ve been adulting since I got up. Laundry, vacuuming, tidying, dishes, dusting… now making food. I love being able to *see* the results of my effort. Better when I can taste it.

Stealing memories is so messed up. Still gives me chills.

Watching the Neverending Story 2 as an adult is like a fever dream. Absolutely terrifying.

the gif isn't the actual bumble I found, it's just something in the gif library. I'm not sure if the bumble I helped is a queen, but it's likely considering it's been spring less than a week and they're usually the first to be active. Whomever it was, I hope they're busy bee-ing

they are legit my favorite garden creatures (next to spiders). I even have a tattoo. Maybe it's weird, but I talk to my garden creatures. I think it helps everything bee and grow happier

I just found a half frozen bumblebutt in the shadow of my front garden. I beathed hot air on him for a few minutes and he perked up. Moved him into the sun in the back garden and gave him some sugar water. Then he flew away 🥰 🌱

Adjective 😅 As in run down or stupid. I’m beginning to think it only exists in my head. But I swear it’s a real word!

There are few bouts of personal meloncoly that can’t be solved with a big plate of chocolate chip pancakes and a few slices of so-crispy-it’s-almost-burnt bacon

It means something to me. I’m beginning to think it’s a regional thing

HELP

Can you discern from context what "a man slouches before a door like a teenager at a dunky drive-through..." means? Specifically that underlined, spellcheck *error* of "dunky" NO I did NOT mean "funky".

I was going for alliteration but it has to convey a collectively understood meaning.

I’m feeling accomplished. Spent two hours in the garden today. Came in covered in brush AND blessed with the first spider. You know you’re a garden witch when the spiders find you
