"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.". - Audrey Hepburn

I was struggling with Audrey's quote this morning. My yard is my happy place. It's basically our family room if it's above 60°f. So, last night, watching the hail fall for what felt like forever was distressing, to say the least.

This morning, amongst the crushed plants, I found Mother Nature had picked the year's first strawberries. I guess I'll be back to it today.

Years ago, when we bought our home, my husband pressure-cooked the window hardware to remove the many layers of paint. Recently, we gave the interior #Doors #UnlacqueredBrass hardware. So pretty! Last week, I busted out the brass polish to clean up the now tarnished window hardware. Except, oops, it's plated, and I ruined it with the brass polish. Today, the #Windows got their new raw #Brass jewelry. And I cleaned up the patio door #Corbin #Nightlatch deadbolt, too. #House #DIY

@APBBlue@zirk.us I set the laundry basket down so I could spread the blanket on the bed. I looked up and, well "I know it JUST came out of the dryer, but all of my fur is gone from it, and it's WARM..." #Caturday

@PacificNic@zeroes.ca Behold my field where I grow my fucks...

@SunnJax@tech.lgbt Look! And it lasted for a good ten minutes! #CoWx #Bloomscrolling

I wasn't feeling it this morning, so I threw on some red lipstick (#Sephora 96 Red Velvet matte, if you're curious). The next thing I knew I was basking in the 62°F sunshine and dancing to #TaylorSwift while cleaning out #Garden beds (thanks for the inspo @SunnJax@tech.lgbt!). Then I chopped all the veggies for this week's salads. After that, I decided to put some brass cleaner on a 120-year-old mirror (it'll start to darken again immediately). So productive today. All because of a little red #Lipstick.

@SunnJax@tech.lgbt And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down. And the flood rose up-up-upper.

Hard freaking pass. Almost 80° after 10:30 at night. I don't think so. And with no A/C. Tomorrow should be warmer, too. Yay. #ClimateChange #HeatWave #TooHot

"Yesterday, it was 67°F, and there was a plethora of birds dropping food on my head. What, and I can't stress this enough, the heck? Snow and hiding birds. Argh!"

The GC signed off on the bathroom reno this morning. Except for the handles on the cupboards, this is what the bathroom looked like when we bought our home 15 years ago. It was going to be our very first project since we were going to turn it back into the closet it literally was. It is 4' x 10' including the shower. #HomeRenovation #HomeRemodel #NewBathroom

@DanielMenjivar@mastodon.social @ivory@tapbots.social It might be an instance-specific thing. The icon is in the upper right corner, but it's greyed out regardless of the toot I select.

I stumbled across a follow request today. I don't have my account locked. Any rando can follow me. Yet @stux@mstdn.social decided I needed to be shielded from @dseresfsfs@mstdn.social and her profile for reasons I don't understand. Over the weekend, I'd read toots by a woman being shadow-banned on my server. The woman was really upset, and I'm embarrassed to admit I stopped paying attention because she seemed to be ranting. If I wanted censorship I could have stayed at Musk's place. You can find me at @colorfiend@zeroes.ca
