This was a delight to read! I’m looking forward to visiting Scotland again this summer.

I saw the series and the movie on Acorn. And now I learned there is a new show called Small Prophets by Mackenzie Crook. Looking forward to that one too!

The Flow by @amyjanebeer.bsky.social , is a thoughtful and engaging collection of experiences with rivers, springs, ecology, and grief. It makes me want to explore England and Wales. Highly recommend reading it for retired geology teachers or anyone interested in nature! #booklist

I heard “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly”

Is McQ hiding fren?

Orange-brown prairie grasses cover the crest of a ridge under a blue sky.

A bare tree on the shore of a still frozen lake points upward to a sundog in the blue sky. The sundog shows hints of red and orange.

Well, Schmitt is from Missouri so…. writing as a Kansan

With a fringe on top!

Two men crouch on the grassy covered ground as they hold a shovel and metal detectors. The sky is blue. A cut-away into the ground shows some buried treasure.

detectorists is a balm for soul in these troubling times.

Stalks of golden prairie grasses lead the way to a hill overlooking an icy lake. The evening sunshine slants through thin, wispy clouds of a mostly blue sky.

“mountainous inhumanity” is what it feels like here in the US now. So much for that “beacon on a hill” approach. But still we have to try. It is so tiring and wearing down. I guess I’ll go for a walk.

I’ve enjoyed this soup this winter. Quick, one pot method. I don’t use the chipotles and still good.

Pleese keep awful Babby fahr, fahr away frum hims.

Happy Birthday! I hope you can get outside or do something fun today, just for you. I share mine with him, June 14. As my brother texts me each Flag Day, “Happy Birthday, I’m sorry you have to share it with that awful man.”

I walked in the sunshine for two miles and that helped turn the rage into a plan to be more active in my community; to take the energy and put it to work for others. i found a local group that needs help tutoring. I wish some amount of peace for you tonight.

A brilliant blue winter Kansas sky shows two hikers and their dog in silhouette. The fore and midground is composed of golden prairie grasses stretching 4 ft tall.

Feel. Do. And take care of yourself. Go for a walk and cleanse your soul.

That is cool! I didn’t know they had other voices. Thank you for sharing this.

Scattered low-level clouds are reflected on a smooth, blue lake surface. The near shoreline consists of gray limestone blocks. The far shoreline is forested.

So warm it is shirt-sleeve weather.

So they used Concur too?

What is a favorite memory, if you would like to share.

How did it go? Are you recovering with a book and blanket?

My bacon just did that!

That robe sounds cool! I have unicorn NoSo patches that I use to repair my puffy jacket and other camping gear. You are a cool grandma!

I hope things continue to improve for you. Thank you for adopting an older pup and giving him a loving home.

I love that! Haven’t played Monopoly in 5-6 years but I still have the hand-drawn board my Dad made after my Mom found the pieces and money at a yard sale. Congrats on your win!

I’m thankful you are remembering those parts of her, especially her laughter. Peaceful wishes to you.

A green and purple ground cover plant in a rosette shape is covered in white, needles of dew that glisten along the fine hairs on the leaves of the plant.

A tiger tabby cuddles on a person’s legs across which is spread a soft, white blanket. The cat is looking at me with an expression that says “Hey, pay attention to me and rub my belly”. It is not a trap.

It is a warm and foggy Christmas in Kansas. Missing My Mom and Dad. I did get out for hikes yesterday and today. Comforted by Thumper Kitty. #JoinIn
