I watched #Powertothepeople starting at 10 PM when Bruce came on. I loved it, very powerful. Brought back a lot of memories of the civil rights movement, the Vietnam era & the important role of music. And here we are again. Joan Baez can still sing!

Note to self: Never fly #TAP air. And avoid #Lisbon airport if at all possible. I would pay up to $500 extra to connect in a different airport.

Datura - reseed profusely. They get bigger than I want in my flower beds but look at all the blooms. I call them zombies because they are poisonous, the seeds are hallucinogenic and will turn you into a zombie (supposedly🧟). For the #FlowerReport from N NJ. Please support, your local #journalism

Not much grows in the Badlands of South Dakota. But I guess brown-eyed Susans can make it just about anywhere. Also added a cute survivalist bunny for the vacation edition of the #FlowerReport from SD.

I’m really happy with the way this plant has spread along my fence. Very reliable. It seems to be a good year for perennials here. For annuals it’s pretty slow due to the cold spring. for the #Flowerreport from N NJ and please remember to support your local #journalism.

I cut this Ivy geranium back & brought it in for winter. It’s near a southern facing window in a very cool room. It really can’t wait for spring. I still have snow in the yard but that should be gone this week. for the #flowerReport from N NJ. And don’t forget to support your local #journalism.

Wow! What an amazing few days. The attention this protest got has been hectic, especially for the Rt. 80 Resisters spearheading efforts to turn these actions into change! What did this accomplish? Since DHS contracts land use, we can use local zoning laws to stop them. (1/2) #ICEOUTOFROXBURY

I watched this last night. Very informative. The lack of strong local journalism is so destructive to our democracy. example: without public local vetting we end up with people like George Santos in Congress.
