Rust stained on purpose because when am I ever going to wear a white linen dress

For the last two years, Chili had been living with something that looked and acted like Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Over the last couple of months it got a lot worse, despite large doses of steroids. Two weeks ago, the time came for us to say goodbye 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

found this moth in the driveway yesterday. where are its antennae???

Here it comes!

Why did it take me so many years to notice that Big Audio Dynamite’s “The Globe” samples The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go?”???
