Someone else always did this. Until they didn’t. Then we assumed the responsibility, lovingly. Happy Hallowe’en.

Fresh from our garden, with the addition of CSA produce, this morning I made 12+ cups of roasted vegetable sauce.😋Grocery prices are higher than I have ever seen, and this is one delicious and nutritious way we can resist and persist.

👇💯‼️

Yum!!!😋

Indeed.

Your comment made me smile. Thank you.

Thank you. We’re going to need banners, strength, unity, and love to weather the storms ahead.

Thank you. I am horrified by the passing of this Bill. 💔 Our independence is OVER. Still, we’ll carry our banner and stay committed to democracy whatever the consequences.

The dye painting is finished on the RESIST - PERSIST banner. Hopefully it will weather the storms. It may be used in a quilt some day…🪡🧵💙

And, quilty friends are THE BEST! Look what arrived in yesterday’s mail! 🥰💙💪🏻

Hold the line, keep up the pressure, and find flashes of joy where you can

I’m working to create a “banner” that won’t run/smear if it gets wet and that can also be folded and easily transported. I will use procion dyes to fill in the letters with permanent colors. 😉🌈💙💪🏻

Resistance can take many forms. Charity sewing on my vintage treadle. Picking lettuce from our garden. Becoming a volunteer at our local Library. Subscribing to a CSA. Naughty knitting. Fresh picked flowers on the gathering table. Walking on the beach. Appreciating nature. Are you resisting too?

he PAVED OVER the ROSE garden for fuck’s sake…

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered.

Every word out of his mouth will be a lie.

He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests.

He will lie to ALL our faces.

🤬

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…

Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

Some favorites from social media NO KINGS demonstrations today.

Kindred spirits joined in a NO KINGS demonstration locally. 💙💪🏻

Persist. Resist. rEVOLution. Lifting your voice and giving voice to those who cannot. There are moments of joy between shocks. Today was my first day of training as a Volunteer working at the Circulation Desk. Finding balance.

It was pretty amazing to see and to watch! 🌊 🦅 💙

Shark, it’s what’s for breakfast…! A juvenile bald eagle un.alive.d this 18-22” shark this morning. The shark was too big, too alive and it was TOO windy for the eagle to take flight with its breakfast!

Epiphyseal disc…?

Foxy fox following us…

A bifurcated tail…?!

Are you REALLY gonna flip ALL the horseshoe crabs over?! Yep. All 245 of ‘em!

Breaths between political chaos.

These socks are for my, soon-to-be, 93 year old Mom! One sock is for Mother’s Day and one sock is for her birthday!😂 Thanks for your kind words.😊👍🏻

Selfie elfies are finished and displayed together!

This was the first week of our Summer CSA!

Knitting these f*ck$ makes me happy. It’s a small peaceful resistance and persistence.

This morning’s sky during my Piper walk.

Continue daily acts of HOPE!

Doing my part to resist and persist while maintaining balance and having some smiles.

A pair of American oyster catchers on the beach this morning. Piper had a little play date. And, a Springtime favorite is lily of the valley flowers.

Morning beach walk with Piper, and afternoon gardening, also with Piper. 🌊🐶🌱💙
