Clipped

 We recently went to Buck-ee's and the things we saw! First, would you believe these are all chip bag clips?





Bee measuring spoons

This is a caterpillar vegetable peeler.

And this is a guitar pizza cutter. 


Cactus glasses. There will be a test next!

The Rainbow Goddesses

 I thought the color of these Iris was so pretty!


The Greek word îris literally translates to rainbow


In Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow. She traveled on arcs of color, carrying messages on the wind — which is why the flower feels so airy and magical.


The doctor's office had this modernistic painting of Iris.


There was also this other painting beside it in the same style.


“An iris is a rainbow learning to stand still.”

Fiery

 Saw this mural on the side of a building just a few blocks away. Pretty cool! It looks like a BMW Coupe. On fire.



Vintage cars are basically rolling nostalgia

Sunday Sunset - The Gathering Storm

 It wasn't the sunset I had been expecting, but still beautiful in a kind of awesome way. There was a high school football game across from us.





I don't know if they got to finish it before the storm came.


“The sky gathers its thoughts, and none of them are gentle.”

Japanese Dogwood

 The Japanese dogwoods are in bloom now. Have you ever seen one? This one is in front of the post office.



The blooms are a bit different looking from regular Dogwoods





But did you know there are pink ones? I didn't, until I saw this one. 



“Stand beneath a dogwood and you’ll hear the hush of old springtime spells.”

Mints for Cats

 Driving in front of Target the other day, I spotted this row of plants. I thought it may be Lavender, but I was wrong. It is called CATMINT!


It smells like lavender with a hint of mint. It is related to both catnip and mint. It got it's name because it is related to the mint family, and cats love it. I had never heard of it before!


Catmint is the polite cousin. Catnip is the wild one.

June 2026

 As usual, I like to show my calendar on the first day of each month. This month is a Lapwing and her babies. I've never seen a real one.




“June is the month where time wanders barefoot.”
