Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.

I’m afraid my beloved rose has black spot. Am I correct in thinking this is black spot?

Not sure which is greater - the floof or the catitude. #fosterkitten #rescuekitten #floof #smallbutfierce #catitude

@Milhart66Ken Cannot wait for mine to bloom this year. Beautiful both in color and fragrance!

Blue flax is simply gorgeous. Did you know linen is made from the flax plant? #TheMoreYouKnow #flax #heavenly

Frost covered dandelion fluffs are magical. #dandelion #spring

This spring has been just perfect for my tulips. #spring #flowers #tulips

My stray kitty has multiplied. #Caturday #rescue

February’s weather has been a roller coaster of 15 to almost 60 degrees. The blue was a birthday in that person’s fav color. This pattern makes a nice striped blanket. I’m looking forward to spring temps and more birthday colors! #knitting

Knitting is not going as planned. #demandingcat #Caturday #CatsOfTwitter

Somehow I don’t have circular needles in the size I need, but I have double pointed needles. I inevitably end up dropping a stitch at some point when knitting on double points. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🙃#doublepointedneedlesareabitch #knitting

Started knitting again. Decided to make a Temperature Blanket, but birthdays will be knit in that person’s fav color. I’m undecided if I’m keeping or gifting my parents the blanket when done. #knitting

@DAustinRoses What USA zones is Gabriel Oak suited for? I didn’t see zones listed on the website, and I would love to add that to my garden if it’s appropriate for my area.

@Happymom_SC When changing the interior color, you could use fabric/paper, which will be so easy to change if you don’t like it.

[Carissa Szymczak @MamaAuntCa]

@Happymom_SC Another possibility: don’t paint the exterior, change/modify the existing door for glass or remove the door entirely, & darken the interior walls to match the china. When open, the focus is the beautiful china, not the wood (which is beautiful too).

The best thing to have happened to our family in 2020 was adopting this guy. He was a lifesaver, and I mean that in the most literal sense. #BigMac🐶 #rescueismyfavouritebreed #Welcome2021 #GoodBoy
