Thank you @lifesafeast.bsky.social I’ve made your recipe a few times and my family’s really enjoyed it. After the holidays, a perfect comfort meal.
So my dear friend @mamafoo2000.bsky.social and I lunched in a famous, iconic Parisian brasserie this week and of course had to start with their famous, iconic (French) onion soup. After a few spoonfuls, she said "yours is so much better" and I won't argue.

Beautiful holiday scene Laurette- magical!
I have a few “Palace Picks”.
This is Hinton Ampner near Winchester one Christmas. Chosen because their theme is usually based on childhood but beautiful for adults too.

Exquisite beauty from @gardenopus.bsky.social Look at these blooms!
🌱❤️Please pardon the rerun - this double Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) NOID asked for another chance - she felt I'd not painted her in the best possible light on the first go-round. So here she is in all her Holiday busyness! Amaryllidaceae

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Good Morning! Time for #TidesOutTuesday art challenge

As a photographer, of course I see opportunities everywhere for an image. I thought this shell looked like the sky leaking out those sunbeams or "solar stilts" as they call them in Iceland.
