A couple of my orchids are dying and one is already pretty dead. I'm just a little lazy these days and forget to water them. The one that died needed to be repotted like three years ago. I kept saying I would repot, but I kept forgetting to. I still have four thriving ones so... Continue Reading →
This was taken yesterday evening and doesn't really depict what it actually looked like in real life. The sun was red. Somehow in photos, it's yellow with a reddish glow. I just wanted to share how easily it was to look at the sun (and take a photo of it).
I don't watch the news that much so I wasn't aware there was a pretty bad fire in New Mexico.

Planted some yellow violets and marigolds. The marigolds were from seeds so they're barely peaking out from under the mulch.
I've been listening mainly to "You Broke Me First," by Tate McRae. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG-erEMhumc Earlier in May, I was remembering "Run" by Collective Soul. It was one of my favorites back in my early 20's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhjyTJXMC8
Our last snowfall was at the beginning of this month and I took photos of the daffodils in the front yard to share photos of but never got to it. I'm pretty sure we're done with snow this month, but with Colorado weather, you never know. Credits: I used actions (Snowball, Winegum, and Sweetie) by... Continue Reading →
I always take forever to upload videos, mainly because I'm just never excited about talking in them, but I feel like if I do unboxings, I kind of have to say something. I finally found the courage to do a voice over for this unboxing even though it's not my first time doing this. This... Continue Reading →
