This is Frankie. He ran outside like he always does, only to find out his yard had been replaced with a white void. 12/10 (IG: frankiethenorfie)

The original sold but there are prints! Some are using them for marches!

Adore lily of the valley.

Mine stayed on the porch like “Mom, you’re crazy if you think we’re going out there.” They finally went out with me when I went to take care of the 🐓.

Here's when you'll get your tax refund from the IRS Tax season is underway, and the IRS expects 164 million people will file returns by April 15. If you file electronically, the IRS says it should take 21 days or less to receive your refund.

The IRS started 2025 with about 102,000 employees and finished with roughly 74,000 after a series of firings and layoffs led by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Here's what to know about this tax filing season — and when you could get your refund.

“Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, & started being who had the power to keep that faith.” Change of Heart , a novel.
So indicative of our current time. This time it’s under the name of Christian Nationalists who want to get & keep the power.

A breathtaking scene of glowing light pillars created as streetlights bounce off floating ice crystals in –30°C cold.

😂😂😂😂😂

Amazing.

In the fundamentalist church I was raised in females weren’t allowed to wear pants & had to wear panty hose when we left the house. When you snagged your hose & started a “run” you used clear nail polish to stop the run from getting bigger. Couldn’t use the polish on your fingernails tho.

Work of art.

YouTube video by MS NOW Minneapolis pastor: ICE 'pointed a gun at me' and 'put me in the back of an SUV'

ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️

San Francisco’s Ocean Beach!

@schlazor.bsky.social behold, your handmade snowflake on my handmade lamp.

I’m all over it but hubby was in ER today with shortness of breath & congestion from residual Covid.

Try to get a Baker Creek if you haven’t gotten one already. I remember when their catalog was small & black & white.

Agree wholeheartedly.

And you wife likes the baked goods over dead animals unless it’s a steak. 😁

@schlazor.bsky.social got your Christmas card. Love the picture & appreciate your finding joy in the small things.

Pretty!

Hubby & I are on the very tail end of Covid. I understand the sick 🤢 thing. Sure hope you get to go to the NYE party.

I’ll take Boomer Sooner. Thanks.

You might try Perrone’s hot sauce as well. It’s wonderful. My Mexican son in law turned me on to it.

Since I put the tree up (kids are coming) & decorated it I refuse to get down on my knees and unplug it every night. Hence, we have a big night light until December 26th.

I just finished watching Grinch and Cindy Lou Who do their thing. Just love it.

I only put mine up on the Christmases when my kids are here with their kids. I’m the one who has to do all of the decorating so why do it if there’s just a hubby who doesn’t care?

Poor mama. 🤗

Queen & Leo Sayers. Most people don’t even know or remember Sayers but I really enjoy his music.

Yummers!!!
