I drove through a rainbow one time. No pot of gold, but that lovely spectrum of colors washed across me and my car - It was so cool!

I only mentioned it to prod our Southern Bluesky friends not to ignore that tick bite.

Thanks. It was pre-Covid. I'm doing pretty well. At this point , it's more lingering annoyances. And as I tell my husband, other people have cancer (fuck cancer!). I can deal with this.

I never worried about tick bites until I got RMSF (eastern variety) and Stari the same summer. I don't recommend it.

Lone Star Tick + American South + Bullseye rash, fever, joint pain think Stari, not Lymes.

Yep, they learned to shinny up mine. I switched to hot pepper suet. The yard's full of pinecones, acorns, and walnuts. They can leave the feeders for the birds.

Yinz is interesting. From another language or a shortening of you'uns? I knew folks in Pa who said "youse guys."

Violets are lovely, and we have them as well. Clover blooms much longer here.

Man who works at the garden center - "why would you buy a weed?" Because it sprouts quickly, blooms early, keeps blooming into the fall, feeds all kinds of critters & bugs, and then nourishes the soil to boot. Why wouldn't I buy clover seed?

😂 We need to wear this sweatshirt when visiting my husband's cousin who routinely adds 20 people to a text, each one of whom responds to the entire group.

We'll have it all weekend, mostly Sat parties. I don't mind if it's only one weekend , stops by midnight, and they shoot them away from the houses & trees.

Add a couple of artichoke hearts for that balanced meal 😄. (Never heard "girl dinner" before, might be missing the point.)

What a great idea. My rudbeckia is in front of a couple of azaleas that have never done well. (Someone's failed attempt at a George Taber Encore, I think. A bargain buy I should've trashed years ago.) I could pull the bushes out and let the rudbeckia take over.

Ugh.A few things I've learned which you probably know, but others new to heat may not. The less animal fat you eat, the cooler you'll be.Think fruits and salads.Keep those pores open.Deodorant,not antiperspirant.No heavy lotion. Lots of water inside&out.Wet hair.Tonic water(quinine) is cooling.

Half of Atlanta is rushing this way for the 4th - on the road or in the grocery store. I tried to tell him he didn't want to be on that road today, but what do I know? 😂

Husband thought he could make a quick run to the grocery store after lunch. Haven't seen him since, just a call to complain about the traffic , the afternoon before July 4th 😂
