My wife's #irises are starting their annual show.
Find something happy today, humans. It's a real one. Chin up.
#BleedingHearts and #Lilacs are putting on a great show in the backyard this year. A good time to breathe deep. Stay safe, humans.
A few flowers from today's walk. A happy thing.
#Rhododendrons and #Bleedinghearts as well as a third that I'm not certain of. The Internet seems to think it's a #bergenia.
Small discoveries on today's walk. Happy Friday, Internet friends. Find your joy.

A smol fleur from today's walk. Chin up, find your sun.
Nice little things from today's walk.
The larger world seems to kind of suck these days; it's comforting to focus on a smaller scale. Stay safe humans.
Good morning, fine people of the internet!
My weekend included a gorgeous mocha and a blooming cherry tree. Love this time of year.
Got to hang out in the backyard with #DemoTheCat this weekend. We both love relaxing in the sun. Stay kind, humans!
Not sure what you were expecting. Not sure what *I* was expecting. Spotted a neat little fly or something crawling around on a #dandelion and then another one showed up and they started to get intimate. Not sure if they're flies, wasps, or #bees.
Whatever they are, they're apparently horny. If I had only brought some candles or something... though I guess they'd have just flown into those and burned.
(Edit: They are bees, thanks Neville!)
The eagles nesting on the cell tower near my office appear very focused on the nest lately. I'm guessing they've got eggs or smol eagles up there. Apologies for the low resolution, it's very distant and my camera is also my phone.
Cheers friends. Stay safe.
Bit of a walk down memory lane when I saw this box at the grocery store yesterday:
When I was a kid, my dad started eating these at his doctor's urging, since they're higher in fiber and generally considered healthier than many other cereals. They're also more expensive than Cheerios, so we childrens were told to leave them for Dad, and not eat them all.
...so of course we ate them. They were forbidden, after all.

Guess who gets to try a chicken spleen tonight? Randomly found in my tub of livers.
