A3: Someone was accidentally stuck outside for a few hours one evening and is now thouroughly infected with outside. 😂 Kaylee is downright obsessed with nibbling on grass and rolling around on rocks that have been warmed by the sun. I plan to build her a catio after we move. #WeeknightWriters

🌱🍅 SO many tomats! 🍅🌱

View of the canopy of a planter filled with three different tomato plants (l-r, plum, sauce, cherry) as seen from the soil. The plants are full of blossoms and ripening fruit.

"You. Me. Handcuffs. Must it always end this way?"

Picture of a person's hand photoshopped to appear as if it is holding a circular, silver item that has been blurred out. It resembles half of a pair of handcuffs. Text reads ADHD Game Changer?

🐺: "Uh, are you sure about that?" No apples for forbidden puppies.

Picture of a flyer that says "DO NOT FEED COYOTES" there is an image of a floating hand holding an apple in front of an image of a coyote in a crossed out circle. The coyote is standing with their tail down, in a way that typically signals curiosity and deference in dogs. A small hole makes it look as if the coyote is offering the outstretched hand a questioning side-eye.

I saw one of the loves of my life, Ferguson, on my walk yesterday. He's an outdoor kind of fella and likes to spread the live around the neighborhood, so it's always an auspicious day when he turns up.✨

Someone recently grabbed this (see picture) for me while it was on sale and I've been adding ~10 drops into every glass of water. I have throughout the day. It's made a huge difference and I recommend it or something like it. It works out to be much cheaper than electrolyte drinks. #WeeknightWriters

Hello! I'm Kate and I'm working on a fun story about living, laughing, living, and setting shit on fire. The writing week has been steady and has been otherwise productive! The garden is brimming with life, my house is full of flowers, and our Kaylee is getting some relief from her health issues.

JUST LOOK at what all the stress is doing to me! 😩😁

Kaylee needs to see the vet for some testing. 😓 Please keep her in your thoughts and send any good wishes this way.

O.o SO MANY TOMATS.

Found the makings of a trellis for squash, a fully assembled rain barrel, enough containers to send everyone home with leftovers at the upcoming block party, a pie pan, and a fruit holder. The garden is coming along nicely and I have seedlings potted for presents! 😮‍💨 It's been a long, productive day.

A4: Stick to my schedule like glue. Pull the trigger on that new mattress. Find more potting soil so I don't have to try to make everything stretch the same way. I have so many seedlings that are still growing! So many... just SO many. #WeeknightWriters

Portland, the skies are *incredible* right now!

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Meme taken from a comic depicting Batman slapping Robin. Batman has the face of a more femme person with glasses and long hair, drawn in a different style than the comic.

Robin is saying "my religion says women should be submiss..." as Batman is slapping him across the face with an open palm and says "I'm not a part of your religion."

There is such beauty in this world.

I need to make space for joy and to BE. Read! Write! Take pictures. Garden. Explore. Sleep regularly. Create and share. Build community. You know, live. Laugh. Maybe even love. (If ever again I am intrigued and inspired by someone also intrigued and inspired.) Life: It's certainly worth a try! 4/

Thank everything good in this world: there ARE people out there looking to help others, not just collect a cheque! 😮‍💨 As the path forward grows clearer, life blooms and blossoms in unexpected ways. After too long, I feel hope again and that has been an amazing experience. Especially right now. 1/4

After years spent living an ocean away, Liam was left with no choice but to return to the place where he grew up. The jet-lag hangover is brutal, but not without its remedies. 🧁 From Rising to the Occasion #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

From Rising to the Occasion

Jet-lagged eyes opened on an all-too-familiar sight: the ceiling of his childhood bedroom. After years spent memorizing its every detail, the room was instantly recognizable. Liam realized that he had not imagined the past three days and had hastily returned to the United States.
More specifically, he'd come back to the only place that he'd ever called home and wasn't particularly pleased.

There was a mix of relief and trepidation in his thoughts, as he sat watching the dawning of "a new day" he may or may not have already met. He herded his thoughts to his breath and slowly took in the moment as a riotous laughter clapped like lightening. He immediately smiled in fond recognition. There was a glimmer of opportunity to be seized and it would be foolish to ignore that. It had been far too
long.

@khonri.com - Was it you that recently said that you planted parsley seeds? I have to warn you that they can be temperamental AF. Just look at these fools.
