Mindfulness and courage. I have yo keep dragging my mind back to it.

Orb & heron — taken in the Galapagos many years ago.

Horse noses. Speck again. He got a good grooming today, he’s shedding out his winter coat.

Whoah! Wtf!

The latest Toikka glass bird, the Baby Crow. I really love this simple bird.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall the moment a 19 year old DOGEbag got access to the VA system only to realize the VA still uses VISTA - a proprietary MUMPS-based programming language from 1978.

The daily Harry.

The Kaj Franck creamers & pitchers and the Toikka flycatchers (and the Light Green Baby) in my kitchen cupboards. So finished with that! The black swan in the lower left cupboard is an egg cup.

The peach flycatcher. I put her in my studio, but she needs a little ribbon around her neck.

I’d originally wanted the peach flycatcher to go with the butterfly pitcher, but it didn’t go. So I got the gray recycled flycatcher from Damsténs and I think it goes much better. I’ll take a photo of my kitchen cupboards so you can see everything all together.

I got a Toikka Whip-poor-will, and it goes well on the mantlepiece of the fireplace. I wanted a bird with the spiral so you could see through it — Toikka has a few species like that. The spiral color is a dark green.

My Toikka flycatchers and Kaj Franck pitcher pairs. One more to go! #Toikka #ToikkaGlassBirds

Support Ukraine.

Horse noses. This is Jedi, one of Speck’s pasture mates. He’s a Morgan horse that Annetta bought out of a kill pen.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

A gray squirrel on our back deck. We have hells of fox squirrels so she’s special.

Send it to hr@opm.gov
I sent mine.

FEBRUARY TEMPERATURE POTHOLDER CHALLENGE
I decided to do oblong. The left-hand one is high and the right-hand one is lows. It’s woven with the bottom weft as February 1, but when I bind it off I’ll turn it around so that’s at the top. My temperature colors are on the knitting needle holder.

Boy do we have examples of this today!

I hope so.

The Toikka Turkey Fowl arrived today! It’s so pretty. I was waffling because of the opacity — but it is just translucent enough — it’s a beauty. #toikka #toikkaglassbirds #toikkabirds

Thanks Holly. ❤️

Ok, time to push the book! 100% of royalties go to the monastery construction fund, nonprofit Thegtse Ügyen Samdrubling. Weave on, all of you. It’s relaxing. We need that now.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Gotta agree with you.

Do you still think there’s any hope of reversing this within 4 years? I don’t. I hope I’m mistaken, but it looks as if our country’s gone.

Hugs. What can I say? I know.

I don’t think there’s a path to recovery. I hate to say it.
