Our community garden spot is finally coming together! We built the fence, laid down cardboard paths with mulch, and today I planted zinnias, cosmos, calendula, onion seedlings I started a few weeks ago, plus nasturtium and sunflower seeds. Spring goodness is unfolding right here. #communitygarden

“Our concern when the president started dismantling the Department of Education was not the bureaucracy, but the funding. And now we know, he’s actually shortchanging kids. He would gut K-12 programs by $5.4 billion. Support for student aid is slashed.” - @rweingarten.bsky.social

The dreaming process is in full swing for this year's community garden spot. 🌱🌻 Three raised beds, mulch walkways, and rows of squash, pumpkins, flowers, and radishes filling the space. Decisions will be made soon—seed starting time is only weeks away! #GardeningDreams #CommunityGarden

Right now, it's just snow and footprints, but in a few months, this 15x30 plot will be overflowing with squash vines, veggies, cosmos, and zinnias. In times like these, tending to what I can grow feels like an act of defiance and hope. The dreaming starts now. #communitygarden

Kevin Hassett on Trump's avian flu plan: "What we need to do is have better ways w/ bio-security & medication & so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens. To have a better, smarter, perimeter...they're killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don't really fly"

Peanut vs. The Snow. She had the boots, the suit, the determination… but absolutely no interest in being there. A true role model for all of us on this snow day, if you must face the cold, do it in style, but make it clear you'd rather be inside. #ItalianGreyhound #DogsLife

A sunset, a quiet beach, and a small dog with big thoughts. Tiberius knows the world is shifting, the future uncertain, but for this moment, there’s only the glow of the sky and the whisper of the waves. Holding onto this feeling like a lifeline. #Chihuahua #ItalianGreyhound #DogsLife

Journey knew. She saw the signs. The world was unstable, the government teetering, and she said: time to go full dinosaur. Layers of protection, spikes for intimidation, and an air of prehistoric elegance. Honestly, she had the right idea. #ItalianGreyhound #DogsLife

David always knew the best way to handle stress, hide in a pile of comfort. I’ve been on the same strategy lately. Everything's a mess, & the government isn’t helping, so I took a few days to burrow away like a tiny, overwhelmed chihuahua. Still here, still watching, just emerging from my toy pile.

Confidence level: Gertie strutting into the weekend like she owns the whole trail. Tiny but unstoppable. 🌿🐾✨

Once upon a crisp fall day, Tiberius and Journey set out on a grand adventure. 🍁🐾 They conquered leaves, sniffed everything, and most importantly—survived way more exercise than they bargained for. #HikingLegends #ItalianGreyhound #Chihuahua

Peanut joined us on this day in 2017 and was the heart of our trips for four amazing years. From Key West, where she met a dolphin & found her favorite toy, to countless road trips, she lived a life full of love and exploration. Missing her today and so grateful for the memories. 🐾 #ItalianGreyhound
