A whole crybaby segment of the U.S. population has never taken a Zumba class, and it shows.

Still haven’t taken the tree down because A) who gives a shit and B) The pretty lights are keeping total despair at bay. Might just keep it up as a symbol of light until the darkness is driven out of this place.

Minneapolis, she’s percolating. I can see the green with my own eyes; the red only through my phone.
Faint green and red northern lights above some trees.

Pulp making dreams come true last night in Minneapolis. I’m 29 and a half years older than when I last saw them play here, but I rode it out in the front row like it was 1996.

Basically just gonna watch and post about birds from now on. Here’s one from a couple of weeks ago in Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree, California.

Costa’s hummingbird protecting her nest at our place was a particular treat.

Back from five days in the high desert and actually not back because I’m mentally still in that magical place. Getting up before sunrise every day and watching the desert wake up is divine. Jackrabbits, coyotes, roadrunners, gamble’s quail and 11 other lifers for me. Can’t wait to go back. #birds

We plant tithonia every year here in MN and we typically have TONS of monarchs on it all of late summer-early fall. This past year the numbers were way down. Will be planting some more milkweed asap.
