Hmmm. This is the closest I can get to today’s theme. Do these blossoms remind you of a #pearl ?

Me neither. 😍 But they are beautiful nonetheless!

The woods felt quiet as a church after the rare snow #storm blew through South Carolina. Love the look of snow on camellias!

At dawn, life just seems to move at a slower #pace . Maybe that’s why it’s my favorite time of day. I snapped this while sipping coffee on a cabana in North Myrtle Beach and the word for what I was feeling is “bliss.”

Have hoe, will travel! When I’m on a roll no #weed can stand against me. Look at poor Peanut. He’s pooped out just from watching!

The grandkids at the Aquarium. Legend’s pretending to be a … hermit crab?—Harmony’s pretending to be terrified!

Lots of screaming but the only truly #tense moments came when they charged into the gift shop looking for souvenirs.🤣😂🤣

We left the giant potted hibiscus in the greenhouse and it bloomed its fool head off all winter. Just dragged it out for easier watering...

Wouldn’t it be cool to have a #skirt exactly this frilly and red?

#Tax day can be taxing. This is what I’m looking forward to at the end of mine: A Yes, Chef! served up by the mixologists at the coolest bar in Durham: the Velvet Hippo.

Yippie-ki-yay, y’all. I’ll see you on the roof for happy hour!

Viburnum macrocephalum (“Chinese snowball”) from the #BellafloraFarm collectors #garden . The picture was taken at dusk with a flash, so the pompoms look like they’re suspended in space and glowing with a #pale fire.

Sometimes #history can be poured into a bowl. This pot of gumbo I made for my students contains the foodways and folkways of three continents: African okra and rice, Native American sassafras, French roux. Southerners are a creole people with a creole culture. #dailypicturetheme

Sometimes #history is sitting on a tabletop all sassy and ready to bloom.

Pelargoniums (common name geranium) were brought to the US from Africa in the early 1800s. 🤔

Famous plant nerd Thos Jefferson for instance grew Pelargonium inquinans at Monticello. Kinda makes u think…

This was my first #Try at potstickers.

“Pleating” the wrappers is probably the hardest part—that and not having an army of daughters to help me finish!

A pound of ground pork makes a PILE.

Good thing they’re delicious.

And freeze easily!

#noliesdetected , fam.

EU mandates a minimum of 4 weeks vacay PLUS 10 days of annual leave PLUS 12 paid holidays. 52 days vs 14 here.

American businesses still trying to replicate standards set during slavery, when they controlled every instant of workers’ time and coerced productivity with whips.

I am a married cohabiting parent with middle class means and only a few kids (read: privileged AF) and I am here to tell you that 1 week off at the end of the year is not enough.

I been back on the grind for 1 business day, and I need to go back on vacation. I can't imagine, w/o this privilege...

1st #tarot pull of the year for my morning meditation & it’s a good omen for my 2024 projects: 10 of Discs, depicting a woman giving birth in the warm circle of a supportive community.

Circular decks like #Motherpeace provide more nuance than trad upright/reversed readings. Slight right tilt… 1/2

Good morning! It’s my anniversary! At 12 yrs together, Covid was raging—we were on lockdown in a state with no domestic partnerships so—
we threw on some glad rags, Aldi roses and woodland greens for the bouquet,
a friend’s garden with its tinkling fountain the perfect chapel. #happilyeverafter

Our community garden was a #rescue mission—abandoned lot in a former “mill hill” where we built raised beds & a pavilion, held gatherings & classes.

The pandemic should have been a death spiral but here we are, in masks!, keeping it growing.

Still going 2!

Apparently Omid Scobie’s #Endgame is being mocked by, of all people, #rotarat Valentine Low, whose book also had abysmal sales in its first week. Makes me curious about this constant round of royal tittle-tattle. Is it possible that, aside from #Spare , interest in the royals is actually… quite low?

Tweet from VL mocking OS, in spite of similar sales.

Technically we live just outside the city limits—I can get to work in five minutes! But the #forest that surrounds the lot is so dense we have complete privacy.

Country in the city—my favorite way to roll.

This is my five-star review left on Trust Pilot this morning. Let’s pile on the trolls with positivity y’all!

5 star review praising Bouzy for a troll free experience.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzy

Yesterday, I asked everyone to leave an honest Trustpilot review, and I only posted the request here. So, how would someone who was "suspended" just happen to see my request, and decide to leave a one star review hours after my request?

The #pause that refreshes. 🤣🙃😘

It was hot @ the #atlantabotanicalgarden so we stepped into the Longleaf Cafe to cool off.

My drink of Empress gin, a cucumber- & blood orange-infused syrup w/ orchid garnish was a feast for eyes, nose, & taste!

Sometimes it feels like I’m on a #search for my childhood, specifically that childhood sense of joy.
Where did it go?

And then sometimes I feel like I find it—like when I discovered this carousel at the state capitol's mall and the guy gave me a spin!!!
