It's Been A Minute...

....since I've blogged. That's an understatement, for sure, because I see it's been since March.  I think life has been and continues to be challenging for all of us under this regime.  How are you getting along? Can you afford your life?  Are you finding happiness and joy wherever you can?  I think that's key now and always.  Oh, yes, and to be kind, to help each other, to listen, to understand.

I'm going to focus on all the good.  That's been my mantra since November of 2024, though it's easy to lose sight of that when the news is a continual onslaught of not good. The flowers in my neighborhood have been flourishing this summer because of all the rain and humidity.  Dahlias, especially, seem to be thriving and glorious all over!  I've seen more monarchs this year than I can remember.  They've been fluttering in my back alley garden on my cup plants and salvia, and they also have been loving the dahlias!  I caught this beauty the other day.

So.  Hello again.  I hope you're well.  That be kind up in that first paragraph?  That also applies to yourself.  Be kind to yourself.  We're all in this together.  Happy, happy day to you!
