What the heck? Found three pockets of this ticksee What the heck? Found three pockets of this tickseed (coreopsis?) growing wild in my backyard. I did not plant these. Suspect they hitched a ride on the landscape rocks we brought in for our pondless project. I mean...how did one even bloom on a rock??? #wildflower #coreopsis #itshotoutthere #spring #springishere #gardening #yardwork #blooms #bloomingcolors #growingflowers #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #flowerpower #whatsblooming #gardenbeds #flowerbeds #flowerworks #flowers #flowerstagram #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #northtexasgardens #texasgardens #southerngardens #zone8
Boom, and then it got hot and humid outside. Dou Boom, and then it got hot and humid outside. Double white cosmos in what was supposed to be my pink ornamental bed. The May rains turned it into a mini jungle of irises, gladiolus, cosmos, salvia, felicia, agastache and lots of nasturtiums. I expect I'll be pulling out some crispy plants soon. #itshotoutthere #spring #springishere #gardening #yardwork #blooms #bloomingcolors #growingflowers #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #flowerpower #whatsblooming #gardenbeds #flowerbeds #flowerworks #flowers #flowerstagram #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #northtexasgardens #texasgardens #southerngardens #zone8
These Lollypop asiatic lilies @brentandbeckys look These Lollypop asiatic lilies @brentandbeckys look identical to the Sugar Love lilies I have in the front yard beds. Maybe they are one and the same. They are short, flashy and quite prolific in a mixed border. #lilies #spring #springishere #gardening #yardwork #blooms #bloomingcolors #growingflowers #growsomething #instaflowers #gardenpic #gardens #flowerpower #whatsblooming #gardenbeds #flowerbeds #flowerworks #flowers #flowerstagram #gardenpics #flowerporn #flowerpics #northtexasgardens #texasgardens #southerngardens #zone8
Werkit Wednesday for shoulder and chest. Had some Werkit Wednesday for shoulder and chest. Had some fails today, due to pull-up/pushup fatigue generated by a morning workout. Had to scale down sitting shoulder press, then I didn't make my 8reps on both my bench presses. Humbling. #barbell #dumbbell #exerciseball #june #strengthtraining #resistancetraining #weighttraining #lifttoeat #liftweights #liftingforgains #liftlikeanoob #liftlikeagirl #barbelltraining #aznlifter #fitness #foodiefit #foodiefat #fitnessmotivation #gettingstrong #stillanovice #workouts #workinprogress #fitnessjourney #womenwholift #defygravity #wheresmygainz #over50lifter
Senior puppies need their sleep, even with a treat Senior puppies need their sleep, even with a treat less than an inch away. I suspect my 17yo girl has finally lost her vision as she has been snapping at air when something gets too close. She's also unable to see food dropped in front of her. At first I thought it was doggy dementia but it's more likely vision and/or hearing impairment. Vet visit scheduled to discuss the myriad challenges facing my senior pup. #aging #seniorpuppy #seniordogs #ivdd #ivddsurvivor #dachshund #tweenie #dappledachshund #doxie #doxiegram #aging #seniordogsofinstagram #dogs #igdogs #dogstagram #danestagram #furkid #seniordog #loveyourseniordog #lovedogs #loveyourdog #lifewithseniorpups #adoptdontshop #furmomforlife

It's been a couple of weeks since I was @growdesot It's been a couple of weeks since I was @growdesotomarketplace but I'm still dream-salivating over the delicious eats. ☑️The Jerk Oxtails and Dirty Rice are a weekend-only special and is my #1 fave dish during my visit. Must eat this @jsinternationalgrill ☑️Ever had a stuffed turkey leg? Big drumstick with alfredo penne pasta piled high on top. A big dish for a big appetite. @jsinternationalgrill ☑️Garlic lovers dream: the crisp fried eggplant topped with garlic is soooooo good. Love love love garlic! Eggplant haters, try this dish! @peacefulthaibinh ☑️Finally got to try @2neighborshotchicken fried chicken tenders. I ordered hot, but it was a pleasant mild burn and good crunch. Not pictured are the finishers: 7up cake and super-smooth Oreo shake #oxtails #nosetotaileating #meatsweats #meateater #carnivoreeats #turkeyleg #eggplant #garliclovers #eatyourveggies #adventuresindining #foodpic #foodporn #foodstagram #diningadventures #takeout #togo #takeaway #curbsidepickup #curbsidedelivery #yelpfriends #yelp #streetfood #thaifood #hotchicken #caribbeancuisine #supportlocal #growdesotomarketplace
