Living and gardening in rural Washington, previously AK,SD,England, MD. Loving retirement. Hating what is happening to our country. Struggling to find hope.
I uncovered this little Northwestern Salamander as I cleared an area where I could pile leaves that I had raked up at a neighbor’s yard (I don’t have deciduous trees, she likes her lawn raked up: win-win). I put a little bark hut over him. I hope he does okay.

I leave most of my garden pruning until spring because I know the birds eat the seeds of the echinacea, etc during the winter here in WA. But I didn’t think my dead coleus in the containers would be of interest to them Glad I saw this. Junco was enjoying the coleus seeds.

No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I lived in Palmer, AK for 19 years and have been gone for 4 years. My heart is still there. Last week I went back for a short visit and it felt like going home.

Putting together a playlist of songs that are appropriate when someone despicable dies. First song that comes to my mind is Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. #playlistfortheevildead

A walk around the garden to gather flowers. My kindred spirit grandmother had grown a beautiful garden in West Virginia. I wish I could remember what flowers she grew so that I could recreate her garden. I remember it was laid out in a grid, with gravel paths in between. The flower details are hazy.
