Laima

Candied Yam AKA Candy is our temporary foster dog. She's available for adoption through the #princegeorgescountyanimalshelter #fosterdog #adoptdontshop
She's super sweet, smart, low key.

Woot! Woot! 🎉

On one level, I find this hilarious but on another the politicalization is horribly wrong.

September 13, 2025 President Donald J.

September 13, 2025

Presidents have a duty to uphold the law and serve the people and this president just doesn't get it, or more precisely, doesn't care. It was never about the country or its people for him.

Pretty close to it. Last year I think we had full bloom the first week of August. It was also a lot hotter and dryer here last year. We had a decent spring this year unlike sometimes it goes winter straight to summer!

We spent a wonderful time glamping with the Poese clan this past week. Games, pool time, orange rolls, pizza, etc.

Hiding declassified files and presidential records is yet another way for the administration to dodge accountability. The authoritarian always seeks to limit your access to information.

UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe...

Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

😂💯

I believe it's a Zebra Swallowtail on our narrow leaf mint. #butterfly #zebraswallowtail
