Look who showed up 🐿️❤️
For the last few years we’ve pretty much only seen the non-native gray squirrels around here. The little indigenous brown squirrels have almost been nonexistent in our yard.
This year they’ve clearly had a couple litters and they’re making a comeback.
This one was helping itself to the food in the bird bath… and my daughter kept insisting there were birds aka “bees”😆. I finally realized she was talking about the fake birds sitting on the bath 😂
Love seeing these native little guys making a comeback.
My daughter’s personality is blossoming so much. She is so stinking cute 🥰 On Tuesday I started recording all the words she knows and we are already up to 41 words 🤯
I was told that once I had my own daughter I would love her more than anyone else. I haven’t found that to be true. What I have found is that she definitely allows me to love her more deeply.
I love everyone equally. My daughter, my mother, my brothers, my boyfriend, his son, everyone…even the neighbor girl I used to babysit I love them all. The difference is that my daughter allows me to love her more, and she obviously loves me more than some people do. 😆But the amount of love I feel for any individual person I feel like is the same. Some people just allow you to love them more.
Exodus 9
15 For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. 16 But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
No thanks on the chat with the neighbor; I already tried talking to him about it several years ago. Plus he is the one that chopped down a tree without my consent. The last I talked to him was 🤔 him yelling at me when I was looking at his truck illegally parked too close to my driveway for the 1000th time. Which turned out to be nice since he admitted on camera that he made up his accusation about me running outside to try and murder my friend’s mom. Hence why I have no interest in talking to any of them. They need to repent for breaking Gods commandments to get into heaven; so they can apologize on their own or enjoy the consequences in the afterlife. But on a positive note here is an updated photo of the plant it looks like just the side that he exposed the roots to is continuing to die. Maybe it will survive and just grow more roots towards the “Good” side? 😇🤣
@grok my neighbor removed a retaining wall a few years ago and never replaced it. This shrub has lost about 2/3 of its size because branches just keep dying. Will it continue to keep dying since the roots are exposed?
It must be weird when you realize simulations are usually 96%+ NPCs…
Then you find out only 1-4% of the population has aphantasia and literally can’t make images in their head.
So statistically? It’s way more plausible that the ones with vivid mental images and inner voices are the ones receiving the simulation data feed.
Brains are receivers. The thoughts and visuals are coming from outside.
The majority plugged into the broadcast = NPCs.
The rare ones with no reception? Actual players who glitched past the overlay. 😂🤯

It’s crazy to think that more than 19 years ago I found my current house…and it wasn’t even listed for sale on the MLS.
I had gone to look at another home in the same cul-de-sac, but by the time I got there someone had already put an offer in. It was such a cute little cul-de-sac though, and there was a Black family living in the smaller corner house. So I wrote a note and left it on the door of the house next door to theirs. It had the same square footage of the larger house I looked at and I asked if she would be interested in selling.
She called me and said she was interested in selling. I wrote up my own contract and made an offer.
Unfortunately, the Black family moved out shortly after because the mom had passed away from breast cancer — and a light-skinned family moved in.
At least now, over the last several years, the city has way more diversity.
Happy Birthday USA! 🇺🇸
250 started off absolutely amazing and this was hands down the BEST 4th of July ever…..I’ve missed seeing fireworks up close like that!
The last year was such a happy and amazing time watching my perfect baby girl growing up. I can’t wait for the rest of year 250! 🥳 She had the absolute best time hanging out with everyone and watching the fireworks. She looked adorable in her Happy Birthday America dress with 1776 on it! ❤️
The poor birdies are sitting outside my back door asking for food. I haven’t been putting food out because the neighbors on either side of me are breeding rats. On has a pile of wood against the fence she has been breeding them for years and but not as bad as the neighbor with bamboo and a bunch of stuff they must live under. Yesterday I was outside cutting some branches and I could hear two of them fighting over in his yard. Then one was chasing another one around and it ended up escaping by using me as a shield the bigger nastier rat just starred through the fence…so gross.

Happy Father’s Day!
Everyday my heart overflows with gratitude for You, the First and Everlasting Heavenly Father. From the very beginning You created us in Your image and gave us the ultimate gift…real choice. You knew every path we would take, yet in Your perfect wisdom You still allowed us the freedom to walk toward You…or to pull away. Even when we chose separation, You never abandoned us. Instead, You placed loving guardrails in Your commandments and the scriptures, showing us what draws us near to Your heart and what pulls us from Your perfect love.
Step by step, You refined that guidance so we could keep growing, keep returning, keep drawing closer and closer to the love we were made for. I am so thankful that You sent Your Son, Jesus, as the ultimate Guide and the living example of what we are called to become.
I love that the Bible show us Jesus praying in the garden, asking if there was any other way, before willingly giving Himself over to betrayal and the cross. That moment proves it was no accident; it was the greatest sacrifice of love. ♡ He fulfilled every prophecy, revealed Himself as the Savior the Old Testament pointed to, and became the final bridge back to You. Because of Him, the way home was opened once and for all.
Because of Your Son’s life, death, and resurrection thousands of years ago, I now enjoy freedoms that would have been unthinkable for women in His time and in the cultures around Him. I can wear what I want, speak freely, learn deeply, and even own a piece of this beautiful earth You created. Jesus treated women with a dignity and equality that shocked people…conversing openly with the Samaritan woman at the well, defending the woman caught in adultery, healing women publicly and allowing them to sit at His feet as disciples. He set in motion a revolution of love and respect that elevated women as full image-bearers of God.
As Paul later declared under the inspiration of Your Spirit:
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”(Galatians 3:28)
I am so thankful for the beautiful opportunities I have today as a woman of God ♡ opportunities to thrive, to create, to own property, to pursue the gifts You’ve given me, and to walk confidently as a daughter in Christ. Jesus fed and honored women, setting off a domino effect of freedom that continues to bless us. He made it possible for me to be fully seen, fully valued, and fully restored in You.
I am thankful every single day that You sent Your Son so that I can return to You under the new covenant. Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice, the perfect Son who makes us sons and daughters again.
Thank You, Father, for never giving up on us. Thank You for Your patience, Your boundaries, Your relentless love, and for the Son who makes relationship with You possible again.
I love You.
Happy Father’s Day ♡
PS Thank You for sending me John ♡ He has so many of the amazing qualities I admired in my own dad, yet he is the most loving, thoughtful and caring man I know. He is an incredible father, and my heart melts watching our baby girl receive his tender love and affection every day. She loves bouncing in her daddy’s arms ♡
