Quiet afternoon reading by the fireplace. Picked up these two from the library today. #bookstr #manga #reading #vacation

Street art found on the back of Main Street buildings of a nearby town Mom and I visited for a specialty tea shoppe and an impressive nursery where she got some plants and veggies. #streetart #art

Halfway through May and the @NostrArtstr Flowers art challenge has some beautiful participants: check out the #nostrartstrmay2025 hashtag to see the #nostr #artstr making awesome #art I colored in the first 15 days of the tracker just to play with some Crayola markers I got at the local dollar store. #artchallenge #nostronly #grownostr #flowerstr #coloring View quoted note →

Last 3 eps of Andor season 2 drops tonight! So looking forward to binging this when I get home. 🍿 #tvstr #andor #starwars

Walking the mountain road this morning and a Large Thin shadow swept over me. Too big for a bird. Too quiet for a plane. It’s…. a hang glider?! 😳 I have no idea where this guy launched from to be soaring over that area. Hope he was able to land safely. #outdoors #whatthewhat #hangglider

Cold, windy, cloudy day - feels like November in Texas, so my vacation is truly offering me a whole year’s worth of weather. Stopped at a beach to get photos of the low-lying clouds and the sentinel trees at the top of the ridge. #outdoors #treestr #proofofwalk #photostr #clouds

Happy Mother’s Day! Mom and I had a leisurely drive around the back roads, a leisurely breakfast, and a leisurely walk on the mountain. Now preparing for a not so leisurely session of gaming with a friend. Wrestling Announcer Voice: “Let’s get ready to Rummikub!!!!!!” #familytime #boardgame #rummikub #sunday

I follow We Rate Dogs on IG and #seniorpupsaturday is a thing, so here’s my mom’s senior pup, Dante. He’s 12 (we think, he’s a rescue), mostly blind, mostly deaf, growing lumps, but still in true (silver) black lab fashion, always wants something to eat and jumps for his dinner bowl. #dogstr #blacklab #grownostr

Made it to the second bench on the mountain today. Right foot is extra sore, but glad I did it. Saw an owl feather on the way back down. #outdoors #proofofwalk #birdstr

Today’s tea and treat bought from a store featuring maple syrup products sourced from one of the few maple syrup farms on the west coast of Canada. 🇨🇦 🍁 #teastr #chocolate #maple

Got behind on the @NostrArtstr May art challenge due to a few headache days before we had storms. Then I was fine… and still didn’t draw the flowers. Whenever I avoid doing something, I try and figure out why. The realization I came to was: I enjoy creating the art challenges more than I enjoy doing them. At least daily. And at least this flower one. I’m really excited about the September art challenge because I’ve had that idea for a while (and yes, I also enjoy planning ahead 😬). So, here’s the totality of my May art challenge: - 5 drawn flowers (really liked how the calla lily turned out, so it made for a good ending point) - 31 flower icons from the tracker pages, cut out and edged with black marker, and glued to the flash cards (just in case I want to come back to this someday) - cover and back panel ready for assembly when I get home #nostrartstrMay2025 #artchallenge #art #artstr #flowerstr #rustypuppyart #floweridflashcards

Current jigsaw puzzle work in progress: 1000 pieces #jigsawpuzzle #familytime #proofofwork

Artist Sandra Boynton (of the Xmas card “Hippo Birdie Two Ewe” fame) often posts comics celebrating less obvious holidays. Today’s comic included a Klingon reference, so wanted to share in honor of @Gowron #comic #holiday #startrek #klingon

Wheelbarrow duty: moving mulch from the dropped off big bag in the front to the backyard where it bedded down the tomatoes Mom bought yesterday. 🍅 #proofofwork #outdoors #garden #tomatoe #tomato
