The Fourth Daughter by @lynliaobutler.bsky.social is a fabulous read! It's her best novel thus far, & I couldn't put it down. Not only is it a touching, beautiful story of a mother's love, it's also filled with riveting information about Taiwan's past. Don't miss this one! #booksky #bookreview

My daily Monarch sighting was made better when I saw an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly on my Joe Pye Weed! My first one this year!

White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge — The Washington Post President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

No lower food prices.
No lower gas prices.
No lower healthcare costs.
No lower drug prices.
And now no mandated IVF care.
How about those campaign promises?!

Exactly!! Before I'd have monarchs visit (except last year when maybe I saw 1 all summer). This is the first time that it seems like the same 1 or 2 come daily. This year is a really good one for my native plants, so maybe that's part of it? There's a lot blooming right now. They love my liatris.

Another one showing them playing together. I love spending time outside watching them. One afternoon there were two pairs of #monarchs. #monarchbutterflies #plantnative

10-year-olds have a much better grasp of capitalization rules. My 8-year-old grandson does. It's a complete embarrassment that the president is so ignorant and demented.

This is a really good middle grade novel about locked rooms by @lindsayncurrie.bsky.social. It's a great choice for libraries and classrooms. Note: I gave it to my adult daughter before she went to a locked room challenge as a primer. She loved it! I did, too.
