🎶 Barbies and beans are my favorite things 🎶
Some beautiful blackberries I saw on my trashwalk today. My street is closed for construction and without the cut-through traffic there’s a lot less trash than usual. I hope they never open it back up! 1.53lb/2.22mi
Rosie the Robot was my favorite character. I never go to Dairy Queen but I begged my friend to go in 1995 so he could bring me the toy Rosie they were giving away. Still one of my favorite toys over 30 years later.
A pretty flower and a trichopoda pennipes I saw on my lovely trashwalk today. I tried looking up the flower but couldn’t figure it out. A nice man stopped to thank me for cleaning up 2.58mi/4 lb
Some native pollinators I saw on my much cooler trashwalk today. A nice lady saw me and said, “Bless your heart!” but not in the passive-aggressive way 😂 2.58mi/4.48lbs
Some busy bees, a big seven, and signs of vampires I saw on my sweaty trash walks this week. I forgot to post so I thought I’d do a photo dump of three short walks 10.04lb/7.01mi
Some old family paperwork I found after my very warm trashwalk today. My sister-in-law showed it to the folks at Piedmont Fertilizer Company while she was shopping there. It’s wild our family is still their customers after 101 years! 2.92lbs/2.27mi
A wild petunia, a broken pin, and a lovely creek I saw on my trashwalk today 3.25mi/6.27lb
Some beautiful peppers my neighbor gave me after my trashwalk today. As I was picking up trash along the highway a young man walked by and tried to pick *me* up! I politely declined but was secretly flattered. Having just turned 65 it was not something I was expecting 😅 4.34lb/2.24mi
My sister just renovated our childhood home and installed the largest ceiling fan I’ve ever seen outside IKEA
Some spiderworts I saw on my humid trashwalk today. It was so hot I couldn’t go very far 2.77mi/2.66lb
She’s a very talented dancer and also really smart. She was even on a season of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader years ago. She said host John Cena was very nice
A garter snake and some tools I saw on my humid trashwalk today. I had to cut it short today😅 2.08lb/3.44lb
Birthday fun with my cousins, Scott and Saya, and my former coworker, Lang! Saya is getting ready to start at Julliard in the fall so that was very exciting news!
A whorled tickseed I saw on my beautiful walk today. I walked every street in my neighborhood. I forgot to start my watch or it would be exactly 4 miles. 3.81mi
I had lunch with the divine Clare Butler (aka Lady Clare) and she delivered my commissioned portrait of Cookie Mueller, actor extraordinaire from early John Waters’ films! I’m in heaven!!
Echinacea, Queen Anne’s Lace, and wild blackberries I saw on my lovely trashwalk today 4.01lb/3.69mi
Thank to my beloved Russell and friends for a GORGEOUS birthday haul! Lots of Juno Birch merch from her new store!!
An Atlantic Pigeonwing, a Blackeye Susan, and a lovely spork I saw on my trashwalk today 3.14mi (pi) 8.69lb
Some Eastern bumblebees and blueberries I saw on my lovely walk today. The only bad part was nearly being clipped by cybertruck as it rounded a corner but it missed me. Nice try, Elon Mush but I’m too quick for you! 😅
