I’m going through about 60 oz. of syrup a day.

Same. The first big haul from my husband’s garden. Tomatoes are just getting started.

I just made a tomato pie. It had a rosemary crust and was pretty yummy.

Aid agencies that provide medical assistance to immigrant children received this received notice of this new policy in Tennessee. Don’t claim to be pro-life when you give parents this Faustian choice. #immigrants #Tennessee #TNGOP

So I voted yesterday. In case you live in Tennessee and aren’t aware, we have a primary going on for things like school board, county commission, and Roads Commissioner. I pulled a Democratic ballot and I had two names to vote for and one to write in. All were unopposed. But it’s so important. VOTE!

This is Goose, my grand cat. He’s visiting from the big city and enjoying his giant catio, ah my screened porch. I live in the woods so lots of new sounds and smells. I’m pretty sure he didn’t sleep all weekend.

I’m on vacation in Puerto Rica so of course we had to attend their #NoKings rally. They combined this with a protest against a billionaire development. Maybe 2000 people and tons of unions represented. Just as you’d expect, lots of music.

My husband is a tomato guy. He produces way more than we can eat. I freeze tons of sauce and give a lot away but it makes him so happy. From last summer as well.

Picked in my yard this week. They are confused and a bit early, but proof that spring is coming. Hang in their Blueskiers!

We purchased this view 5 years ago. This is the southern end of the Appalachian Mountain range, the oldest mountains in the world. They used to be as high as the Himalayan mountains but have eroded over millennia. I am one lucky human to get to watch over this landscape.

After not putting up a tree for the last couple of years, we put one up early this year. I do feel a bit more festive.

My grandkitty, Goose, came to visit for Thanksgiving. He’s a city cat so he gets very excited watching the wildlife outside my bathroom window.

Why are Republicans never held accountable? Why are they never forced to follow the rules?

The Franklin County Democrats spent a bit of time this evening writing postcards and phone banking to remind people that Tennessee has a special election for US Congress and we need to elect @aftynbehn.bsky.social! We are part of TN7 but she needs all hands on deck. www.aftynforcongress.com

The GOP hold a 6 seat lead in the House. One is in Arizona where a Dem has won but Johnson won’t swear her in. Another is in Texas in a safe Dem district where 2 Democrats must have a runoff that Abbot is refusing to schedule. The 3rd is TN7 where @aftynbehn.bsky.social is going to beat the MAGA!

Sumner County TN has already had to deal with Riley Gaines and the result was the head librarian in Hendersonville losing his job. Not she’s been put on the library board.

Winchester, TN in rural Franklin County. We had almost 200 enthusiastic participants. Victoria Broderick, congressional candidate for the 4th district spoke. We also combined our rally with a good drive and filled a small SUV with non-perishables. #NoKings

The one plus side to insomnia is that you get to catch the sunrise and the fog in the valley.
