Finally seeing pods on the bean vines. 🌱 A reminder that sometimes in leadership, the hardest part is trusting the process. Growth doesn’t always happen on our timeline, but steady care brings results.

First solo trail walk with just Miss Mattie today. 💜 We went off-trail, paused at Big Rock and the dry creek, then climbed a bit—things we hadn’t done in a while. It was quiet, sweet, and a little sad. We miss Oakley, but we carried him with us. 🐾🌿 #MissMattie #ForOakley

What’s China’s space program up to? Can the American prairie be restored? And why on Earth are birds snooping on prairie dogs? 🌔 🌱 🐤

All of this and more today on Science Friday… the 13th. Tune in to your local public radio station to listen from 2-4 p.m. ET. buff.ly/redWzZq

I write down 3 things I'm grateful for every day. It’s like a daily love letter to my life. Gratitude helps me stay grounded—and science says it boosts mood, sleep, and even relationships. A small habit with big impact.
What are you grateful for today?

If pure joy had a face, it would definitely look like this. Oakley is living his best life — sunshine, tall grass, and all the good smells.

When I was on City Council, the media said things about me that weren’t true or fair. I got mad but never said, “Let’s ban Fox from City Hall.”

A free press matters. Even when it’s uncomfortable.

Public broadcasting matters too. It exists to inform people.

Just finished The Library at Mount Char for my “Branching Out” read in the Chapter Chasers Challenge. Dark, weird, intense, and totally original. Not my usual genre, but I’m glad I stuck with it. Fantasy meets cosmic fever dream! #ChapterChasers #NowReading

A few days ago, I skipped yoga and made brik instead—feta, black olive, harissa, and cilantro folded in egg roll wrappers and fried to crispy perfection. Self-care looks different every day. That night, it looked like kitchen therapy.

Some of us are very excited about that downpour—towel time & all! After weeks of dry weather and with the Table Rock fire just up the road, we’re beyond grateful for the rain. Hoping it brings relief where it’s needed most.

Do you see what I see? That’s my oregano, poking through the leaf mulch in The Old Muscadine Field. Bought it half-dead for $1 in 2023. Planted it anyway. It thrived, came back last summer—and here it is again. Tough little plant.

Trump also said special education will be handled by HHS.
HHS isn’t equipped to oversee public education or uphold IDEA protections. This move risks students with disabilities losing critical support. Education policy belongs with education experts.

Trump says the Education Department will shed oversight of student loans and special education President Donald Trump has begun sketching a roadmap for dismantling the Education Department, with other agencies taking over responsibility for federal student loans and programs serving students wi...

“The Republican president said student loans will be handled by the SBA.”
The SBA supports small businesses—not student borrowers. This isn’t reform. It’s confusion, inefficiency, and risk. We need student-centered solutions—not agency swaps that don’t make sense.

Yesterday was all books, naps, snacks, walks (with Oakley & Mattie), and a little yoga with the retiree crew. They chatted about gardening, book club, art classes, and field trips. I’m just trying to touch my toes—they’re out here thriving. Color me ready to retire.

On our walk, Oakley & Mattie found one of Trent’s shoes… in the woods. The other was still on the porch. Trent’s been sick for days, so how did it get there?

Google says foxes steal shoes—especially leather ones. Guess we have a fashion-forward fox in the neighborhood! 🦊👟
