The day these doofuses are out is the day I’ll throw the biggest party EVER. And I don’t even like parties. Heck, I’d rather write a paper about a party than go to one. But rest assured, I’m throwing a doozy.

Those warm, dry stretch’s are exhausting. Hope you get more rain soon!

Good morning. Looks like you got some rain. We had quite the storm roll through here around 3:00 am. Badly needed rain.

Guilfoyle is yet another example to prove Trump cares only for himself. She remains loyal to him and he pretends he barely knows her. Sad and pitiful.

I’m not Catholic, but I’m sending all the prayers and good vibes I can for Leo. He gives me hope for the world.

I thought of you a few minutes ago while watching the weather report. Glad you’re stocked and ready!

They really are. They sit on my back porch in the mornings, staring in the kitchen window as they wait for me to fill the bird feeders and toss some seeds and nuts out for them. They have me trained very well! 😅

Love this one, James. Your country lanes are the best. Squirrels are busy here, too. Saw one yesterday carrying an impossibly big black walnut. Poor fellow could hardly waddle with it in its mouth. Such a delight!

Wonderful. Could you send the Ents to Washington D.C.? Maybe they can straighten out the lunacy?

I keep holding off on picking them all because I keep seeing pollinators on them. Argh! Haha - that is classic! Faye does the same thing - eats the Zinnias whilst glaring with her guilty looks. 😅 I have to put everything up high where she can’t get them.

Ann Ahrens 🇺🇦 @aahrens430.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I always have to remind myself that plants have a life cycle. I guess it just feels so strange to see them die when it’s still so warm outside. My Zinnias are doing the same thing and I still can’t bear to cut them down!

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY IS NO KINGS #4 (Details at: nokings.org) We must turn up in MASSIVE numbers to show the world we don't support this Administration or a criminal president who has enriched himself to an obscene level at the expense of everyday hardworking Americans! #GettingReadyToDump-tRUMP 🟠💩 👎

The only problem, Mr. Mullin, is that the ads aren’t about America. They are about Trump and you know it.

Exactly. They quote the parts they like, and those are taken out of context.

Lovely, James. That scene really invites you in. Makes me think of Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese” poem. Hope you and yours have an enjoyable Sunday.

That anyone would even have to write that headline is beyond comprehension. Shame on Trump and his cronies.

News reports about the 5-yr old boy whose father was shot in front of him say “the boy was unharmed.” PSA: THE BOY WAS NOT UNHARMED. What kind of world do we live in where we can make such a statement and think it’s correct??? The boy will spend the rest of his life trying to heal.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love #TedLasso more, they go and end the season with a voiceover of Annette Badland reading Mary Oliver. ❤️

It looks scary, for sure. My heart sunk when I saw it had upgraded to a hurricane.

Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says. Lost for words at the insanity in Trumpistan, a truly sick dictatorship. Like medieval times, executions offered as a public spectacle in a country that claims to be Christian. What next?

Fort Hood attacker's execution by firing squad will be livestreamed, Pentagon says
Pete Hegseth says the execution will be public, but a legal expert says the "unprecedented" decision is on "uncertain legal terrain".

Hegseth is honestly sicker and more demented than Trump.

Sometimes I think Hegseth is sicker and more demented than Trump.
