Heartbreaking news out of Charlotte about the absolutely grotesque behavior by out of control federal agents.
Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

The ‘dog days’ of summer get their name due to their association with the Dog Star, Sirius, found in the constellation Canis Major.
The first visible rising of Sirius occurs during the hot stretch from early July to early September.
Woof.

I keep thinking about the ancient concept of hospitality, what it means to invite people into your house. The White House is our nation’s house; it doesn’t belong to anybody but the American people. To see it abused yesterday is such an insult to all Americans. That’s not how we welcome an ally.

Massive burst of energy for knitting, it’s like I invented it or something. When’s the last time I woke up and knit in my PJs? Maybe knitting will save us all. Or at least set us up with a pile of handknits, right?

What’s on your needles? I’m blissed out on a skein of Neighborhood Fiber’s mohair/silk. A long floaty river of burnt orange stockinette on a size 8 is really doing it for me.

It’s 10 degrees outside at the bird feeders, and I don’t know whether those bluebirds, cardinals, purple finches, tufted titmice, and yellow bellied sapsuckers know it, but they’re making my day. Feeding birds is the quick way to a mood boost.
