He wasn’t perfect, but he was intelligent, educated, hardworking, articulate, moral, inspirational, and self-aware. He worked toward a better life for all Americans and tried to improve the situation he inherited. I miss those days when we had hope for a better future.

Winter came back for a few days to remind us who is boss. Days of rain followed by a few inches of snow. Appreciating the moisture💕. Waiting for the aspen to leaf out.

Privatization of prisons, medicine, education, war, has not worked out. These private for-profit prisons are hell holes that must be shut down. Public institutions should be run by the public and held accountable.

Mt. Lassen from Highway 36 (with way too little snow this time of year). You can see lots of burned trees in the distance from the Dixie Fire a few years ago that burned about a million acres of forest and many homes. #mtmonday

Retreating into my happy place once in awhile helps get me through this difficult, frightening time
Collage combining elements of nature - flowers, trees, water, mountains - in primarily cool colors of greens and blues with two deconstructed female faces in upper half of board (one hiding behind a pine tree. The back of a man’s walking with two children toward a lake dominates the lower left, and a strong red flame while could be fire or eruption draws attention to the upper right quadrant. The red is mirrored in a tropical bird’s face.

Was exciting to get together again to protest one year of this hideous regime. Only about 65 people there today, but got lots of honks and enthusiastic waves from passers by. Also, a couple younger people stopped by and were happy to hold American flags and signs. Hoping more will come over time.

Winter has settled in for a long visit in the mountains.
Snow-covered pines and firs on mountain pass.Wet side of Morgan Summit (6813 ft. above sea level) during winter storm. Shot taken while riding in car. Nowhere to pull off as snow plows were barely keeping up with road. The whole forest looked like a giant snow globe after shaking.These majestic trees make a person feel minuscule by comparison.

My walk yesterday in the quiet cold on the last day of 2025.
Evergreen trees standing dark against a cloudy sky with the sun barely breaking through in the center of the clouds. Although it was a color shot, it appears almost black and white.The previous scene from farther away with more foreground of snow.Bare deciduous tree branches with 
ravens perched quietly upon them against a light blue-grey sky.

First snowfall of the year, which is late for us, but it was a doozy. Too many people must’ve been wishing for a white Christmas.🥴

I started doing the sip and dips for charities once I retired from teaching. It is a lot of work, but everybody always seems to have so much fun, and it gives me a way to focus on my art and stay sharp.

Big weekend! Tomorrow we come together to protest the abuse of the many by the few, and then on Sunday we P.E.O. Sisters put on a sip and dip painting event to fund our scholarships for women. Looking forward to lots of joy💕

Great day in Susanville! Over 120 enthusiastic, energetic patriots rallying for democracy. Lots of positive responses from drivers by - honks, thumbs up, waves. Maybe our red county is changing at least a little….

It seems like leaders who are brazen enough to openly defy the truth, laws, rulings, morality, and historical precedent can get away with running roughshod over the country because there is no effective mechanism to stop them as they pump out propaganda to cover their actions. Congress, help!!

Working on posters for Saturday, and wondering why there isn’t a way to get access to ICE holding cells by LA representative. Who makes sure laws are followed? There are no laws without enforcement!

Sorry about Medicaid being that way about lack of choice😔, but it sounds like your therapist is NOT a kindred spirit. I wouldn’t try to change a mind that is so self-avowedly “moderate”. You’ll make yourself nuts. Just know you are in a good space on Bluesky💕

Enjoying our perfect weather. Chloe is in heaven with so many places to run and hunt for rodents. She was one tuckered old girl last night!
An unusual plant next to the buttercup in the middle of the wet meadow. Any ideas what it might be? Lily family?? Grass??She may be less than fifteen pounds, but she is fearless in the forest.An alligator just warming up and none too fast right nowA bolete a bit past it’s prime

Another beautiful meadow. It is also a major area for free-range cattle grazing. The ranchers take the cows down to the valley for the winter and then bring them up to feed on the grasses here in the summer. Goodrich Creek runs through Mountain Meadows year-round..

More of today’s idyll
I am always happiest out of doors in the fresh air and close to water.Chloe doesn’t know she’s only 15 pounds. When she’s in the woods, she thinks she’s a great huntress.Hunting for chipmunksThis is the loveliest season in our woods which can be quite dry and dusty later in the summer.

Went for a walk by Robber’s Creek today. It only runs for a few weeks in the spring when the snow melts and flows into the meadow.
Many of the trees in this meadow have blackened bark from a fire over a decade ago.This is Staghorn Moss which is actually a lichen. It has a brilliant neon green color.Wildflowers among pine needles

They are deporting preschool citizens undergoing cancer treatments with their legal immigrant moms, refugees who collaborated with our military, supposed Venezuelan gang members, and foreign scientists with no due process; BUT, he lets in a cartel family? WTF?

Wow, Musk gets approval for AI development and chooses to teach it to propagandize to support his agenda. Trump transports entitled Afrikaners to our country citing “White Genocide” there.
Elon Musk programmed Grok to propagandize X users on the topic of white genocide in South Africa. Fortunately, so far, Grok straight up admits it when questioned about why it was introducing false, unrelated material into queries.

I used to teach my students this to explain how people grow morally and ethically. A person at one level may aspire to be better, but fail from lack of commitment or courage. DJT functions at a 1 and 2 level. He is morally stunted.

When I hear people describe Trump as transactional, I keep recalling stage three on Kohlberg’s chart. “Transactional”is just a fancy way of saying that he’s a tit for tat kind of person which is a very low moral development./1
