Ferdie likes his “keys.” I like my sofa cover. 😂 Life with puppies! 🐶 💕💕

Thank you! He’s not even conning me…he really is that sweet! 😂

Oh, I am! He’s a total delight. And also a little ornery, but that’s the spice of life. 😁

I agree—a sad decline. Not that it’s ever been without its problems, but it’s far worse…almost impossible to avoid the nastiness.

Most definitely! 😂

Thank you! 🐶

Thank you!

Figs! My first. No need to say more. 😂

I need to spend more time here and less time on FB…so toxic these days. So, here’s a pic of Ferdie! My 13-week-old Cardigan Welsh Corgi, sent to me, I have no doubt, by my beloved Trily, who passed away earlier this year. Bittersweet, but more sweet than bitter. 💕

Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Greg Casar on stage in Tucson in front a crowd of 23,000 people.

Tucson, Arizona today.

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

23,000 showed up.

Few things are more professionally satisfying than taking a building that almost no one would have felt comfortable stepping foot into & creating a welcoming & inviting space. ☺️ #restoration #renovation #commercialrestoration #carpentry #finishcarpentry #retail

Signs of Spring! Potted up last Fall and set into the greenhouse this Winter, I moved them out to enjoy this warm weather. The honey bees were thrilled—food! 🌸🌸🌸

Top F.B.I. Agent in New York Vows to ‘Dig In’ After Removals at Agency James E. Dennehy, the highly respected leader of the largest and most important field office in the bureau, said in an email to staff that the F.B.I. was in “a battle of our own.”

Someone, who used to know better, told me today that it’s patriotic to support the president even if you don’t always agree. This is the excuse being used by many to explain their acquiescence. Actually, this is what a patriot is: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Dear Canada and Mexico,

We’re so, so sorry.

I’m enjoying Winter, don’t get me wrong, but I’ll be delighted to see these beauties again when Spring rolls around. From my garden last year. Roses are my favorite. 🥰

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Great to know—thanks!

I can see that. I’ll have to explore it more. A decade ago, I found it clunky, and Squarespace was a snap to get really good looking websites (which was the priority at that point), but SQ has a lot of limitations and add-ons are pretty expensive.

I agree. (Apple user here. 😂) I’m a bit stuck on Squarespace since I’ve built many a website. I thought it was the best option when I started. Not so sure now. I always found Wordpress clunky, but maybe things have changed. And, admittedly, I am not a techie, lol.

Lol. That certainly makes sense. I just wondered if it was somehow superior. 😊

Why Word Press specifically? (‘Ive only used Squarespace, but not for this application.) And is there such a thing as best practices for getting started with Word Press?

I agree. One of the main reasons I’ve shifted part of my focus to working in regenerative agriculture. 😊

Something beautiful from the garden. “Dortmund,” a beautiful climber from Canada that does surprisingly well in my Oklahoma garden. Pic by me. 💕👩‍🌾
