Now that the extra ugly couch is gone, one more loom fits in the great room overlooking the hayfields and the barn. There is nothing better than watching a snowstorm while weaving with the fireplace ablaze and a hot cup of tea. #Weaving #ReadyForWinter #MyHappyPlace

No sir, what you are as a lifelong liar. This was not what you said when you stumped in my town and pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes.

If I had been strong enough to pull myself up onto the lowest branch of this tree, my fat old ass would be climbing it as far as I could go. #sycamore #tree

The last time I had my teeth cleaned, the dentist told me that their office now offers Botox injections. No thank you, I earned every single one of these wrinkles. #ShamelesslyAging

Why is the department of customs and border patrol flying in circles for 4 hours after dark nowhere near the US border? I think this sums up the administration—flying in circles and wasting taxpayer money while adding massive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. #Idiots #waste

Sunday night is officially spoil your turkeys night. I come home from the farmers market with watermelons that had a soft spot and raspberries that were getting fuzzy. There is also a crate of peaches and one of nectarines. Thanksgiving is going to be lit. #turkeys #wastenothing #Farming

I swear my car has an invisible bumper sticker that says Single Woman Who Likes Cats. Found this one alongside the road beside its desiccated mother who met an untimely demise. I already have one named Lucky. Name suggestions?  #ProofOfCat #KittenTax

Once again, they ignored the women. “Knowing what we know now…” How many women need to speak out against male politicians before somebody finally believes them? #ezraklein #platner

Parking this here to revisit after I read the books. Both of Wilson‘s translations of the Odyssey and the Iliad are on order. And maybe I will even rustle up a movie date. What’s Epic About the ‘Odyssey’? Everything. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/p...

April 4 to July 7. What a difference! This is why Native Americans domesticated turkeys long before The colonizers arrived. Native, naturally fast growing and they are very personable when reared from poults until puberty. Then they become assholes. #Turkeys #Thanksgivingdinner

To all those agricultural influencers who advocate for automatic water stations for livestock to save time & effort, I say, no thank you. I had eight minutes this morning while filling the stock tank to watch the dinosaur hunting frogs in the pond. #birdsky #heron #farming

Perfect day to cut the hay. Spectacular night too swoon at the moon. A quartet of owls, ravens, turkeys, and bullfrogs lay down their improv session. The moon is the color of raspberry sherbet & I’m putting up sour cherries. #summer

Excellent interview with one of my favorite artists. It’s too bad that the author led with her as the wife of Lou Reed. www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...
irishtimes.com
Laurie Anderson on Lou Reed: ‘He said, I’ll get on a plane right now. We got married the next day’
Being back in the city where her husband gave his final concert was a reminder for the artist that there’s no demarcation between life, art, politics and love
