Yesterday this orchid, which was presumed dead, bloomed again. It had been outside and sort of “out of sight out of mind” after my brother passed. I just happened to notice it sitting there so I brought it into the Fla room and gave it a sip of water. This is the same room in which it’s owner (my brother) had passed away on Jan 4. Even though my brother was under around-the-clock care he passed when nobody was sitting with him. This flower bloomed in the same way...when nobody was looking. I feel like this small event has helped me mentally smudge the room of some very painful memories. ••• #mybrothertheman #orchid #easter #itsthelittlethings #flower #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwkjg33Bp-j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hn5tf0wh20bv

Annie loves Zeppelin. Doesn’t matter if it’s Mick playing in the living room or Jimmy on TV. #acd #australiancattledog #dazedandconfusion #1969 #myideaofheaven https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYhUlzhocG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15q15vnk9szsr

Annie was under the weather yesterday but she’s back to her old self today. Look out squirrels! 👀🐿🐕 • • • #annabellegrumbles #australiancattledog #acd #queenslandheeler #redheeler #doggyfriend #rainyday #centralflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLUMq1hGVM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eg5905u6zkm5

Sometimes I call her Annabelle Grumbles when she’s dramatic, but today Annie is as chill as she can be. ••• #BeLikeAnnie #chill #adogslife #redheeler #australiancattledog #acd #cattledog #smartandcute #fritobonedito #antoniobonedaras #alienlifeform #alf #annabellegrumbles https://www.instagram.com/p/BoR3dOHF_ld/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18zpwh1eeli2k

AncestryDNA is pushing out the latest refined ethnicity estimates, so if you’ve taken the test and haven’t logged in lately you might want to! I’m glad my Irish/Scottish % now reflects the info I have in my tree and also happy to have a more refined region for my previously vague “Scandinavia”. ••• #AncestryDNA #genealogy #ancestry #dnatest #dnaresults #ethnicityestimate #ethnicityestimates #familytree #english #welsh #irish #scottish #german #swiss #norwegian #french https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn3czjxFHEZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eb275p3qimfi
