🐾 MEET COCOA, our baby boy who burst into our lives from the lifesaving rescue @thelabellefoundation which has been working overtime to rescue dogs in need of foster and forever homes during this crisis. We are so grateful to them for rescuing Cocoa, a pittie mix who was born with a cleft, as a baby, bottle-feeding him to good health so he could light up our lives and fill our home with much more love. #dontshopadopt #rescuedogsofinstagram

Someone in the comments suggested I do Poison Ivy make up because of my new red hair so here’s two sort of okay takes: one is normal everyday hot botanist (hotanist?) Pamela Isley and then swipe for cartoon crazy Poison Ivy. Did I only do one side of my face? Absolutely. Pretend it’s an homage to Harvey Dent.

Gaby as Poison Ivy? Approved. No notes.

Getting to know the desert. What strikes me most about these saguaros is how, in the harshest conditions, they continue to grow, branching outwards continually, stretching towards the sky, while still remaining firmly rooted at their base. And on their many crowns, flowers that smile for a day, then fade. That doesn’t need to be a metaphor. It’s wondrous in itself. 📷 by @bekahdc.

I am an East Coast babe myself, so seeing the desert never fails to astound me. Things like that just GROW in nature? What on earth!!

I miss being loved, and cuddled, and back scatches and neck kisses, feet rubs and bedside laughter. I miss ur hands around mine 😍🙌💍

Ms. Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple” has long been a title that’s spoken to me on so many levels. How special it was to read her words for you. …So listen to “The Color Purple” only on @audible while you’re peeling that 🍊Link in bio.

Remember, it’s ok to slow down. Be grateful for the stillness we rarely give ourselves. Find your routine and let it be your strength. Be grateful for the little things. Move your body. Stay positive. And most importantly, smile. We got this! 😊Beautiful photo pre-quarantine by @enpointe

Happy 51 to me. Thank you for so many lovely bday wishes. The sun came out specifically so I could wear white on Memorial Day. (I’m kidding, kids. Wear white whenever you want.)

STARTING A STARTER. Day #1. Thanks to @artbeast123 for the encouragement and direction to grow this beauty of a bacteria. Sourdough starter. Let’s do this. Left the tap water out for 24 hours to get rid of the chlorine and be like filtered. Added 4 tablespoons of flour and water together. Feeding tomorrow. Rubber band to mark his growth. #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #grow #growth #bacteria #lactobacillus #ferment #masonjar
