Pepper and I had a lot of fun outside today. Barking and chasing the neighbor dogs? 😆

Well he thinks he won.

Really? Simple exhaustion or pulled/split/confused with lower control? Sorry if that's vague. It gets complicated with disassociation. Hard to define.

You did work out hard today, I get pulled when I come closer towards the edge. I see that typically as exhaustion and need more ecstasy/break to rebalance.

I'm having a rough day too. Keep trying to push through it and avoid being online. Can't say it's working but got a lot of work done.

Having fun in the kitchen with the kids today. 🍪

Anyone else love street corn? Made jalapeno ranch corn and my second batch of cream puffs this week. Julia wanted to put ice cream in the puffs but I didn't think that would work so she settled for a bowl. 😊

Idk, might try her idea. Haven't filled them yet. I just think the pastry is too delicate. Probably will go with typical whipped cream or pudding.

Finished baked gluten free cream puff shells on an elevated wire screen. I'm waiting for them to cool down so they can be filled.

A black and white version of white daisies, a cluster of multiple blooms with the background looking sparkly. The daisies also have water beads on the petals.

Phone camera cannot handle the bright sun today. 😆 😎

Still, it's pretty despite the blurriness. Love this begonia collection. 😍

A close up of my begonia planter container with multiple blooms of pale orange, yellow and pink contrasted with white and green leaves. Pepper, a miniature Australian shepherd is in the background standing next to an outdoor sofa looking at the camera. Many of the leaves are spiky and sharp.

Was pleasantly surprised to find my beloved dahlias from last year in the variegated colors again!

I only had to climb behind shelves and dig to the back. 😆

Worth it though. These will bloom all summer and fall. Last year consistently changed colors too. Just endless beauty.

This is an abstract watercolor painting with green highlights and a yellow background with multiple natural elements and layers mixed together. I wanted to capture the grass and circular nature of being outdoors in the sunlight. This piece has a couple of invisible shadow figures standing on the left side and is open for interpretation. Personally, I like to jump in and feel the textures and it has a spinning sensation for me when I look at it but it may not be that way for others.

So much misdirection and confusion occurs on SM because people do not know where someone else comes from and the underlying social background they hold. Then it can become uncomfortable to ask.

For me, I live on the outskirts of the largest city in southern Kansas. It's modern and yet rural. Despite the chaos of the weather and divisive & fictional political noise, most people are very friendly. The fear that exists with communicating online does not exist in real life. #kansas

A little more about my background as I've had a rare life perspective and one of my missions in life is to help bridge the communication gap that is occurring between media vs extremists.

I was born to married teenage parents who were 'mystified' deeply in a semi-closed fundamentalist church. I found myself immune to propaganda back then and I escaped but I hold full emotional codes and empathy for that kind of worldview.

It greatly bothers me, how they are being abused and manipulated.
