The world is not making sense to me.
My garden does. It comforts me, hope it comforts u a little bit. And because punching nazis and fascists is frowned upon.

Milkweed, a misunderstood plant, yet so important to Monarch butterflies. These three are staples in my gardens. How about you!? #gardening

Bunnies driving u crazy? Seedlings not getting a chance? I usually use chicken wire to make small cages. But ouch my fingers! Use wire baskets & the dollar tree, like a cloche. Keep in place w/a landscape liner pin. Once plants get established U can take them off. Easy, cheap & reusable #gardening

My son was in town for a very quiet weekend w/us. He is a recent SVA animation grad. We celebrated Easter by cozily watching Flow-beautiful message of how diversity, tenacity, togetherness & sacrifice is how we survive & thrive. No dialogue-Just beautiful storytelling. It was good. #flow #animate

Been home sick w/bad bronchial infection. But grabbed some pretty shots of Chicago spring blooms on my way home to bed, before feeling like death.

Did a walk about, jug check, rose pruning & Bgan spring seeds in jugs. Gardening brings control back & growing food & preserving it, is what generations B4 us did, and we can too.

Meet Maude, Louise’s sister. We split our time between the city & country. Maude: M for Michigan, named after my favorite, brassy feminist TV sitcom character. English muffin dough is doing it’s first bulk ferment. @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social recipe. More involved than discard recipe🤞 #sourdough

Thank u for sharing this whole thread, giving me hope. ❤️ Ironically I just visited & picked up my special order book in town, took a week-didnt care. But look how beautifully my order was packaged?! This area is purple, and the shop is an inclusive island for young adults in a small town in SW MI.

#sourdough discard grissini came out pretty good. Super easy. Next time I’ll add herbs. Maybe more parm? Bake 5 min less.

We are @ SW MI restaurant. Couple next to us scowls as I show hubs recent Stephen King posts on Bluesky. Their food comes, they hold hands & pray. We hear them asking God to save her govt. job hoping not to be fired next week. Kept asking “Why is he doing this?” to each other. The find out phase.

On a positive note on my sourdough exploits, I think I nailed it finally! Whole Wheat Boule. Niw I need to improve my scoring skills. Do u reuse your lame blade? How many times before it’s dull? #sourdoughbeginner #baking #sourdoughbread

Sourdough discard english muffins. Not sure what is happening, but I lost my nooks and crannies. 🤔 Same recipe. Atleast I thought it was. Just made them bigger. So re-evaluating. Down the rabbit hole I go again. 🥖 #sourdoughbeginner #sourdoughdiscard #baking
