We’re just hanging around

Awww… thank you for your concern. Garden, substitute teaching, and a cold have kept me from checking in much with social media. Still here though, and fine. Thanks again, my friend

A day of harvest for me. 🍅 🫜 🥬
Enjoy yours and look for that equilibrium in an often crazy world 🌞🌒 #Mabon #equinox

Bit of an August harvest 🌻🍅🥦 #smallfarm #harvest #garden2025

Still holding strong. The #smallfarm is taking a lot of time right now. 😘

Thinking of a trip down under. Where might you suggest?

Doing well, my friend. Hope all is fine with you!

I wish there were a, smell this, feature, because the fresh cut basil is absolutely amazing 🌱 #basil #pesto #Growyourown

I have put up as much as possible! Today, elderberries and more kale.

Happy #Caturday from the boys 🐾

This looks like a 2028 trip! 🖖🏻

I told my kid to bring the grandchildren over. I added an above ground pool 😂 #summer2025

Confederate statue toppled during Black Lives Matter protests will be reinstalled — NPR The statue of Albert Pike, a Confederate general and Freemason leader, was vandalized and taken down on Juneteenth in 2020. It is the only statue of a Confederate general in Washington, D.C.

Please explain to me, because I truly don’t understand, how can this be acceptable to America POC?

Some things in life just shouldn’t be this difficult. I am trying to do one last renewal on my teaching certification. I have all the coursework required, but the process is a nightmare. UGH! #retiredteacher

Every year I like to try something new. This year I hope to dry nasturtiums to save their peppery goodness. 🌼 #gardening #growyourown #smallfarm

Welcome August 🌾🌞

It was upon a Lammas night,
When corn rigs are bonie,
Beneath the moon’s unclouded light,
I held awa to Annie;
The time flew by, wi’ tentless heed,
Till, ‘tween the late and early,
Wi’ sma’ persuasion she agreed
To see me thro’ the barley.

–Robert Burns (1759–96)

A quick trip to the #garden 🌿🫛🫐 #growyourown #smallfarm

As a retired middle school teacher, this is a home run! 😂😜😂 #teaching #writing

🔊 Listen Now: Pete Buttigieg warns Democrats can't go back to status quo after President Trump Morning Edition on NPR One | 11:20

11 minutes and well worth listening. The end speaks to fear. In the 2024 election, I experienced, for the first time, concern about putting a Harris sign on my lawn. This should not be our country…

When did you realize you were an adult? For me, 40 years ago in an apartment in Maryland, I looked at the sink and knew if I didn’t wash the dishes, they would never get done. #adultlife
