Neighborhood Watch is taken seriously in this house

Oh, nothing. Just sitting here, sniffing this moonflower that decided to show up early. Don’t mind me. #flowers #moonflower #gardening #containergardening #nature

Tell it, Tammy!

Let’s spend billions on families. Not wars.

The comments on this are fabulous! This also sent me down a rabbit hole of armadillo facts, which are fascinating! 😁

Any room can be a panic room when your dog brings a live armadillo into the house.

This katydid was on my car this morning. Cool reflection and shadow. And that righteous angry face, though! #insects #nature #bugs #katydid

My morning glories are beginning to bloom! Early Call and Carnivale de Venezia are showing right now. Looking forward to my Moonflowers popping in about a month! #gardening #flowers #morningglory #containergardening

Beautiful! ❤️

What you see in the Sun, is the Chicago skyline from the Indiana Dunes beach, across Lake Michigan. You can see it from 50 miles of distance due to a form of superior mirage, because the skyline is seen above where it's actually located. [📷 wesskywalker] Original post

Love my senator!

Duckworth: "Trump is the one who started this war without any actual plan for how he was going to execute the mission. So the blame for those 18 service members' deaths lays at the feet of the president. It sits on the resolute desk in front of him in that gilded Mary Antoinette of an Oval Office."

Someone had a rough night last night, and needed to rest until way past sunrise to have the energy to fly away. #bumblebee #insects #nature

When I say Rosie is the BEST kitty, I mean it. This lady looked like this before I started vacuuming until I finished. She never flinched. I even bumped her chair! Afterwards, she got up, went to her bowl, took her medicine like a champ, ate, then waited for me to sit down, and curled up on my lap.🥰

ass out flower ate this is how i like pollinate

Rosie side eye. Brilliant.

A month from now, I will have completely lost control of my balcony. The morning glories will frame the door and explode with flowers. The salvias will be 3’ tall, providing me with my secret garden, within which I read, and listen to the world around me. #garden #nature #balconygarden

Timeline cleanser. Pretty lantanas, which Hummie finds delightful.

It’s the tails….

We’ve had storms off and on today, so Hummie is super-busy between downpours. She’s had 3 clutches already this summer, so I’m sure she’s very hungry! #hummingbird #nature

This Tutu Morning Glory bloomed early from a seed sown by Tutus I planted in my pots last year. It’s a prolific bloomer, blooms all summer long, and every flower looks different. I highly recommend it!

Oh, joy! Corn sweat is hitting Chicagoland early this year! Not the best time for my A/C to be down! 😩🥵

After a soggy June, get ready for "corn sweat" summer as a heat wave approaches. blockclubchi.co/4wcWTat

Happy Father’s Day to my dad! I agree, he’s adorable. He’s also a good, good person. He’s kind, sweet, generous, and an all around great guy. Not one person has a bad thing to say about him. Deaf his entire life, he has always been a great provider, and an even better friend! ❤️🤟 I love you, Dad!

This is... I mean, just read it. Whether you like football or not.

Please enjoy this AI slop of a map of Chicago. Lovely. IYKYK 🤣

10/10 map of Chicago, no notes. AI works great. Found on Facebook.

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

An “end” to this illegal and expensive war is all anyone has asked for for over 100 days, but we've seen the President's deals fall apart before. And ultimately, the main takeaway is that Trump has failed to deliver on every possible end state he's proposed. Let me explain.

Reach right to save lives. The Dutch Reach uses your far hand to open your car door, forcing you to pivot and check for oncoming cyclists. 🚴 It’s simple. It’s common sense. Let’s keep each other safe this summer! @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

This kitty. I injured my knee at work on Wednesday (my first day!)😭 Every time I sit down and ice my knee, Rosie jumps up and shows me how to really relax. Purring and everything. Pets, man. They know. They are the best medicine. #cats #pets #healingmedicine

My thoughts on Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire.

So, adorable Vivian visited the barn sale today. The perfect dog. Her foster is in love with her, but if she foster fails, she can’t foster anymore. Fosters are amazing! #adopt

This is it! The opening weekend of The Barn Sale! I’ll be there all weekend. Stop by and say Hi! All proceeds go towards vet care for our dogs! #rescue #adopt #garagesale

It’s that time of year again, my friends! If you’re in the Chicagoland area, why not take a day trip out to Oswego? Do some thrift shopping at the barn sale, then have lunch at a local establishment. ALL donations save lives! The BEST pet rescue! I’d appreciate a share! ❤️🤟

In 1976, my parents took us on a road trip, from Chicago to Wyoming, in a station wagon, pulling a pop-up Jayco trailer. We decorated our bikes in red, white, and blue for the village parade. There was a fire hydrant decorating contest. Everyone celebrated the Spirit of ‘76! Different times, then.

Just in case you were wondering, our Bicentennial Celebration in 1976 was held in multiple venues, and the artists included: The Eagles Fleetwood Mac Loggins & Messina (Their final performance before splitting up) Dan Fogelberg Elton John The Beach Boys America Elvis Presley Bruce Springsteen 1/2
