I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.)

I'm a big fan of birds and native plants.

I really wanted to prove my dad wrong. "You should become an engineer or something!"

No, I can be successful with a Bachelor of arts! 🫠🫠

I was just reminded of this recent article

"Top 10 Jobs Facing The Highest AI Disruption

1- Interpreters and Translators
2- Historians
3- Passenger Attendants
4- Sales Representatives of Services
5- Writers and Authors"

I didn't become a writer because it was not a safe job. I didn't expect this either.

I was told that the mature height of the cardinal flower was 4 feet.. the fence is 5 feet tall 😅😅

The little shaded rain (ish) garden is doing exceptionally well this summer

(Two cardinal flowers, two Joe-Pye Weed... Morning sedge on the side)

Huh I bought a new spotted beebalm this year and planted it somewhere else because both died last year... I guess one self seeded before dying 🥹🥹 or something?
