Eastern Yellow Swallowtail butterfly on thistle flower; my back yard, this morning.

A strange thing happened last Monday. I’d been keeping the ”Earth Day Greetings” broadside from the Berry Center (pictured), on my bookshelf since receiving it; Marilyn had decided to nap after lunch (unusual for her-more typical of me), and it was soon quiet.

Grandpa Ott’s Morning Glory, one of the two seeds that helped establish the Seed Savers Exchange. I love how the lower part of the horn is nearly translucent, which in the right light can make the flower look lit from within:

I don’t believe that this kind of nonsense should be occupying any time at all in the mind of the Commander in Chief of the world’s largest military.

Right now, from my POV, Uranus & Venus are nearly conjunct. I’m not joking…

This guy walked out of a corn field into my life a decade ago. He obviously enjoys domestication, & spends the 1st hour (at least) of every morning right here, purring like a fish tank aerator.

It’s not just “white people” that do this; there’s this field of study called “Anthropology,” where people of all colors study the patterns of cultures all around the world. Glad I could help!

This, from Snyder’s “Thinking About” Substack, all rings true.

All of these ideas for Anti-ICE protesters are good, self-protection measures.

10” of powdery snow & temperatures hovering in the single- and low-double-digits for the next entire week is a new look & feel for this place.

Back patio area of my home under 10” of new powdery snow, into which I’ve shoveled trenches to hold sunflower seeds for the smaller birds.

Having the cat on my lap keeps us both warmer on winter days like this week. It’s not supposed to get above freezing here until a week from tomorrow, which hasn’t happened here in over a decade. Tuck in, Kitty Boy…

My cat, on a small curry-colored quilt, which is on my lap, keeps us both warmer.

Seeing photos of the #NoKings protests around the country, I’m heartened: We are Stronger than MAGA hate. Here’s a pic from the #NoKings protest in Evansville, IN:

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall, my first scientist-hero, who clearly saw other primates as our sisters & brothers. I’m deeply saddened by your passing, & grateful for your life & work.
