WTH is going on here

3/9/2026

Steph here. I am absolutely bursting with excitement and flower pics over here, but I haven't been posting on social media. My mental health is so much better when I avoid the doom scroll and focus my time and energy on real life analog things. So here we are on my website. I know it's still digital, but there is no doom scroll here. Just pictures and updates from myself, Jason, Jango, and the flowers.

I will still post updates on Instagram, but I will include way more pics and info here at Freakin Cheerful. If you haven't already, please join the newsletter list to have these updates sent straight to your inbox - no scrolling necessary!

Right. What's blooming at Freakin Cheerful right now? RANUNCULUS!!! Our hard freeze didn't bother them one bit, but they are definitely gonna slow down after being in the 80s for a few days. I'm out there every morning harvesting blooms and enjoying the little pops of color while I still can. I leave about 50-70% of the flowers for the pollinators - only snipping the flowers I just can't pass up for flower photography (see below).

THEY'RE SO PRETTY!!!
Seriously, I yell that at them sometimes.

Don't worry. I give the neighbors flowers so they put up with my frequent joyous outbursts.
