I adopted my sweet girl Blossom in 2019 when she was 4 years old. I had to say goodbye this March. She was my constant companion. We walked miles every day. Everything reminds me of her. I am grateful I rescued her because she rescued me. 💔

This is how 2026 has begun for my husband and me. We are fully vaccinated but here we are. I wanted to just rest but then ICE killed a mother and the Administration is lying about the incident. The paxlovid can’t cure my rage.

I get away from the madness by hiking the beautiful NJ Pine Barrens. Yesterday I did a short 3 mile hike through one of our beautiful cranberry bogs. Hope you enjoy the serenity.

This is a photo from Longest Yarn D-Day Project which I saw in Cape May recently. It was created by knitters/crochet enthusiasts from around the world. Again. These are knitted figures representing every hour of the invasion. Enjoy.

I am also almost 80 years old. If I looked like that I would stay indoors all day. I’m heading out for my 3 mile walk and then come home to clean my house. HAPPY LABOR DAY Mr. Moss

I am privileged to have been followed by such great people on this platform. I think I’m caught up but if I missed you I’m sorry. My sweet dog is having a problem with her left hind leg. Many vet visits, lab tests and meds. Leg is still not right. Hug your fur babies.
