Got a food stamp raise and a family member is coming home from prison.
Flowers in the garden are amazing.

That's exciting, especially the family member.

What flowers are out in October? I'm trying to think. We just have a buddleia flowering.

Zinnia, marigold, asters, impatiens, petunias,morning glory,touch - me - nots, roses,various wildflowers,lantanna,celosia,cannas and the mums are just starting.I’m surprised they all bounced back from the first drought.Now we are in drought number two and I have to water again.
I haven’t seen them in three years, because of Covid there was no visitation and I really couldn’t afford the drive anyway.
We will be having a big family reunion in a few weeks and have rented an adorable rock cottage for the event.

My thread can be more than one thing and that other thread is massive, it's like shouting in a crowd. I'd like to have a conversation with people.

Conversation?! *Runs for her life!*

Why are you running? I just thought randomly posting a comment on a thread was a bit dull and I'd like some actual interaction

I'm running away because of my own inadequacy..... I'm not very good at conversations.

The 'dull' threads suit me most of the time.

Sound lovely! It's always funny when Americans talk about 'mums' because that means 'mothers' in Britain :lol:

A family reunion! :heart:

You can practice conversing here :flower:

I am just as bad, I'm hopeless at conversations so I want to practice

I got rid of my TV a LONG time ago and don't have much of a social media presence. Since then it seems like most news that filters in to me now is good news. I still keep half-an eye on local news, but not daily.

At first I was afraid I'd miss something, but after a while I've found that there isn't much that is going on that has any real impact on my daily life. The bulk of the bad news isn't anything I have control over, so I don't worry about it.

It just seems to make people angry and bitter and worn out... I'd recommend people taking a break from the 24 hour news cycle for a week and just see for themselves what its actually like. :-)

Nah, I don't always want conversation and prefer it that way. I used to force myself to engage with people and found it draining.

I'm content with posting when I have something to say, and posting on the one word threads and off the wall when I don't want much interaction.

I'll be sure to pop in this thread when the urge for conversation takes over!
