We just got distracted making lunch and had to go outside to watch this gorgeous monarch in our front yard echinacea 🌱
Birthday pie for @kidcryptid.bsky.social First time making a lemon meringue pie, lemon curd, or meringue. It turned out well!
Fifteen years ago @strictlyworse.bsky.social and I tied the knot. Our marriage can get a learners permit. I'm lucky to be both deeply known and deeply loved through so many phases of my life. Happy anniversary to my ride or die! 🥂❤️
Just saw a picture of my back for the first time in ages and damn. Damn.
It's impossible not to smile when I get home and walk past the coneflowers covered in bees 🌱
For our fifteenth wedding anniversary, we got to see the Tony winning non-binary icon, J. Harrison Ghee, in Hadestown last night. It's a phenomenal show and I got to talk @strictlyworse.bsky.social's ear off about every design detail.
I squealed with delight. First year of fruit for my Chicago Hardy Figs! 🌱
I'm so lucky to celebrate @strictlyworse.bsky.social this Father's Day. He shows up not only for his kids, but his nieces, players, and any child that sets foot in our home. I'm so grateful to have grown this wonderful family and life with him. Happy Father's Day my love!
I love watching the bees go nuts on my native Carolina Rose. It's like they're in heaven. 🌱
Today I voted for the candidate who called gender affirming care for children a "no brainer"
