Lucie extracted this squeaker from her Halloween Snoopy toy, and HOWWWW has no-one thought of this before?! Genius
Big blue squeaker from a newly disemboweled Snoopy dog toy that reads, “GAME OVER. YOUR DOG WON.”

Yes I did.
Pumpkin spice creamer in my fridge even though it’s still triple digits in AZ

The orchid in question
Itty bitty moth orchid in a sweet little 3 inch pot, already in bloom with the cutest blush flowers, next to the pot for my full grown phal and some Christmas cactus cuttings

Look at this absolute bombshell.
A gorgeous solid black Lab/GSP? mix hangs her head and two front paws over the back of a gold jacquard couch. Her huge paws are crossed very demurely to the left, her long ears are fully perked, and her eyes are so piercing that she just read your future.

#LessonsWithLucie She is beauty. She is grace.
Big black dog in a pretty blue collar twisting herself rather inelegantly into a pretzel on a big comfy chair.

The Queen in question
Beautiful shiny black Lab mix Lucie cuddles on a yellow jacquard couch with her squeaky chicken toy under her chin. She’s newly adopted as of 24 hours ago, and only a few days post-op, so she’s trying her best to feel comfortable. Her eyes look crankier in this shot than they were in person!

Bringing clean pantry, freezer, and fridge energy into 2025. Accountability pics!
My too-small pantry, lovingly organized with alphabetized spices and food items grouped into buckets. This fucking freezer is impossibly small and mostly filled with the Omaha Steaks order recently sent to us by a family member. (We’re grateful!) We will be shopping for a secondary garage fridge/freezer this weekend

Gorgeous white Moth orchid flowers on a stem that has a few additional buds

I am not sure how to express my intemperate excitement, but I FINALLY HAVE AN ORCHID FLOWER! Been nursing this baby for 5 years and it never even tried to throw up a flower spike till September!
My single beautiful moth orchid flower, atop a flower spike of about 5 other potential blooms. The plant def needs repotted, tyvm, but I’ll wait until the bloom cycle is done.

Literally got to the end of the French path in Duoligo, and this is their greeting. LITERALLY spent nearly 3 years on the French path, and, like, nothing.
A read

The single greatest thing about the Western US that doesn’t exist in the Eastern US is, by far, cherry season.
Big silver colander full of delicious cherries from Apple Annie’s Farm in Willcox, AZ. Have I mentioned I’m obsessed with cherries?

My pic’s awful! I’d have been more confused but saw a post from a Tucson account literally 1 minute before it was due to pass over us!
