Recently read this book. It’s very thought provoking and sadly, very topical today. Thanks, Melvin for writing this unflinching narrative. #Juneteenth #Fridayreads

The joys of growing and picking our own lettuce every single day. Snow peas also picked today. These are growing in planters on the deck from $1.00 heirloom seed packs. Self-defense from the ever-rising prices at the grocery. 🌱 #TheOutpost

THIS is what is needed in this country, not book bans and library funding cuts.

I’m very disheartened by the shamelessness of Republicans in Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Missouri, and now THIS. Republicans know they can’t win with their ugly policies that benefit the super-wealthy and punish everyone else. I hope Beth Macy wins Cline’s seat.

For those still interested in tracking poverty measures and the complete failure of this wicked administration, 1st Quarter ‘26 numbers show a 13% increase in new families seeking assistance from our local food pantry ministry. Gas prices keep going up every single day - wait until 2nd Qtr.

Dappled sunlight on one of the many containers on our deck. Fresh gem lettuce every day, coupled with scallions in another planter every day, snow peas to come. Doesn’t taste any better than that, and beats the daily increasing prices at the grocery. 🌱 #veg
Snow peas and gem lettuce thriving in small container on deck. Dappled sunlight shining on plants. Portable irrigation system up and running with misting. Growing some of our own food - priceless.

Stealth planting to prevent the deer from finding and munching this lovely Purple Speedwell pollinator. Planted by the foundation and nestled between two yellow/green pine shrubs with sharp needles. The bees were happily buzzing on this in peace a few seconds later. 🌱

A tale of resistance. Bluebells planted in two separate locations. Location on right says “No way deer, you won’t keep me down. I’m fighting back.” May we all be as resilient as nature. 🌱
Bluebells untouched by deer. Delicate purple flowers on narrow green stems and bright, narrow leaves. Bluebell leaves chewed by deer, but fighting back and flowering with resilience. Purple flowers above leaves munched almost to the ground by deer.

Simple pleasures. We are growing as many vegetables as we can in containers this year (not only to thwart high food prices and the voracious deer, but it’s also good for body, mind, and spirit). First batch of spring onions thriving. 🌱

For those keeping track of poverty measures and in direct contradiction to those saying the economy is great because of the stock market and “inflation isn’t bad”, our local food pantry ministry provided over 200,000 meals in 2025, a 12% increase from 2024. Not so great for people in need…

Don’t we all need some good news after the deluge of horrific news this month? This is it. Thanks for sharing this very positive news, @pestilence4all.bsky.social 5-years of follow-up data are a big deal. Phase 3 studies already underway for multiple cancer types. This translates to HOPE.

History repeats, doesn’t it? To people of faith, if your religious leaders are STILL silent about everything happening here in the U.S., maybe it’s time to find a different community of faith that is not afraid to call out injustice and hate and focuses on those in need. We did exactly that.
