"I’ve probably been to 100 political protests like this in my life, & there have always been counter protesters that show up. Until today.

I hear birds singing, birds we usually don't hear until late March or early April. It's concerning because it's another indication of messed up migration patterns.

I'm enjoying my 2025 reading challenge, rereading some of my favorite authors from my bookshelves. I'm starting with Elizabeth Goudge. My list includes Booth Tarkington, Taylor Caldwell, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien.

We're doing a thorough culling of our bookshelves and wow, what a Memory Lane experience this is. I want to reread so many of these books before sending them out the door. George MacDonald, David Grayson, Zenna Henderson, so many! It looks like I've established my 2025 reading challenge.

Augh, I've had to block so many new followers this morning. A couple of them ONLY repost. No thank you. I want to interact with people who share their own thoughts and interests at least part of the time.
