These pretty blue flowers were in the alley we parked at to go to the bar for dinner. #BloomScrolling

In my happy place this weekend. 🌄 The leaves aren't out all the way yet, but everything is turning green.

Oh, and Jill Biden was in the area yesterday and today.

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

I just closed about 70 open tabs. I have 9 open now and I feel so organized.

There was an owl hooting last night. It was loud so it must have been right in the backyard. Scared the dog and she was barking every time the owl hooted for like an hour. The owl would hoot, the dog would bark over and over again. 😂

So excited to do lunch Saturday with some old friends that I haven't seen in a long time.

Son's rock tumbler has found a home on a sound dampening mat inside the backyard shed. Could not imagine trying to find a home for this cacophonous machine anywhere in our living space.

Question: What traits or qualities made you fall for a person?

For me it was her kindness and empathy. Are these trait worth falling for or is it considered shallow??
