The fringetrees are blooming this morning. So beautiful and delicate.

🤣

Mayapples on their spring journey

You could say the same thing about every company under discussion. If Salvadorans are working in a factory, fewer products sold impacts them. Either this is worth boycotting, or it isn't. NO CARVEOUTS

This mini sermon about what we can do was so needed this morning. Thank you. I will keep doing the good work I've been doing. And continue in gratitude for what I have and for the people with me as well.

Lovely quilt

They make every effort to minimize and rename the use of surveillance cameras. I'd want no part of a trail with surveillance cameras personally.

I keep them in a south facing window so plenty of sun keeps them compact.

I've bought geraniums every spring for years because I love the cheery colors and the way they dress up my porch planters. A couple of years ago, I learned that you can overwinter geraniums inside. I'll never buy new ones again when they come through winter looking like this! Joy on my windowsill!

A pink plastic crate holding 12 Kentucky coffeetree seedlings sits in front of a white limestone wall. Two fake snakes are curled up in the foreground.

Two plastic cups holding tree seedlings sit on the top surface of a white clothes dryer. Dryer vent tube and limestone wall in background.

Just planted my 12 Kentucky coffeetree seedlings into tree pots. I'll give them their first sun for a couple of hours, then move to shade. They'll come inside nightly for a week or so to ease the transition to outdoors. 😁
Plastic snakes to keep the killer squirrels at bay. It works for a while.

I do wish winter would end. Really, really need to be out in the garden with sun on my skin.

Made pine cone seed ball treats for the birds. Collected pine cones, rolled in unsalted peanut butter, then rolled them in a seed mix with peanuts and saw fly larvae. Hung out in trees with cotton twine. The birds love these protein rich treats.

Been there twice. Splendid place. Hope I get a chance to visit again.

Opossum eats whole Costco chocolate cake; fans have big feelings: ‘Me too girl’ “I feel this opossum in my soul,” someone commented on Facebook.

Possums have always been one of my spirit animals, but now I feel even closer to this one. It's like we share the same trauma!

Nothing like blood.. what a gorgeous book jacket.

Pro-level at saying
"I tried to tell you this would happen. Didn't I tell you?"

Nice story

Is this a feeder with a built-in camera? The picture quality is great.

Wow.. so wonderful

Snow forms a cap on a goldenrod seed head. A large bare tree and a large pine form the background.

Snow clusters in the needle bundles of an Austrian pine.

Dry feverfew seed heads create a light and dark pattern against snow.

Patches of bare soil and snow create a spotted pattern of light and dark.

Patterns of light and dark. These always seem to me a beautiful consolation prize for having to live through the cold of winter.

Nah, I don't agree. Plenty of dems are voicing opposition. Not a lot they can do though, being in the minority. The one strength Dems have right now is the ability to sit tight and let poo and Musk own the wreckage they are creating. Voters will revolt when they feel the impact.

The only thing more absurd than a judge as a web page editor is moronMusk as a web page editor.

Eaten by dogs would be a good start

Seedlings emerging from potting soil in a red Solo cup.

First true leaves appear on tree seedlings grown in a small container.

My Kentucky coffeetree seed test is a success. Every seed I planted sprouted on Day 10. I'll wait until spring to plant the rest outside, but these little fellers will need to be pricked out and potted on soon. Aren't those tiny leaves just the cutest???

Also there's uncontrivertible evidence that airline disasters are up 100% since Biden left office.
Trump has been in there for a week and we have 100% increase. Impeach!

Yet, zero airline disasters under Biden.

Well I have learned something new about city government that I don't like.

Being an unwittingly marketing ploy for a scam "university" isn't a good look for the city. I wonder if the alder promoting this is unwitting or did she get a marketing fee?

Why is half the agenda dedicated to promoting the fake university / honorary degree mill "Harvest Christian University"?

A poem to express some angst I've been feeling
