I always think these are pretty when they come in bloom. They remind me of the old neighbor that lived up the road. I've learned they're poisonous and invasive but, they are used for erosion control and are nitrogen fixing. They're also native to my area and attract pollinators. I guess we take the good with the bad. You can really see those bristles in the last photo.

Hey y'all! You're girls been real busy. We secured a rv, got it to the property, got power out to it (still working on water) and have most of our car projects moved down. Our last day in the apartment is Friday and we are almost fully packed and moved. I realized I've been so busy aside from a few up close pictures I took for Inaturalist I've not taken any of the set up or our space, except for one single picture I took looking out over the creek that is basically our front yard. So I'll share that for now. Hope everyone is having a great spring and their gardens are growing well.

This young fledgling bird has been hopping around the last couple of days.

Hey Y'all 🤗 This morning a chipmunk ran onto my porch and made it known that he wanted a drink. So, I turned on the hose, watered everything🌱and went back inside. When I came back out, about 20 mins later, the chipmunk came back up on the porch, stopped and made prolonged eye contact with me as if to say, 🐿️ Thank you. 🥰 Have Y'all noticed anything like that? Yesterday I put out chairs to stop the mowers from taking everything and I'm so glad that I did because the uncut side is SO full of life today! 😍 Thankfully every little bit we do to help matters! 💞🐦🐝🐞🐛🦋🕊️🦃🦨🐿️🌱🌼🌻🌳🌲🌎💞

I have been so busy with work that I'm begging for the faeries to take me away 🧚‍♀️ Every time I'm outside, I've just been staring blissfully into the green hoping they'll snatch me up haha Spring has been kind, so we've got lots growing quickly: philly fleabane, celadine, creeping jenny (I have no idea where this came from but it's all over my neighborhood this year) and loads of mayapple to name a few. Herbs are coming in nicely too!
