We were able to see the northern lights here in NE Kansas. Drove out of town to get a good shot, but could see them in town above the Missouri River. Using a phone camera helps bring the colors out. #northernlights

It's aster time! I have never seen so many monarchs, bumble bees and other pollinators in my yard. I had 6 monarchs on my New England aster at one time! Maybe they are on their migration. Anyway, shows how important late season natives are. 🌱 #nativeplants, #pollinators

Finally, I got a monarch cat on common milkweed. First time in 3 years. 🌱 #nativeplants #pollinators #pixel7pro

A buckeye butterfly feeds on my late season liatris. I can't remember what I planted, but I think it's aspera. 🌱 #nativeplants

Inter-species kerfuffle: behind the eastern tiger swallowtail is a monarch battling for the same zinnia. After a brief dust up in the air, they took turns feeding on the flower. 🌱#pollinators

A fritillary of some kind feeds on my Red Whisker Clammyweed, Polanisia dodecandra, on a hot Kansas day. This is my first time planting clammyweed. It's an annual but I have the feeling I'll be seeing it for years to come. 🌱 #nativeplants #pollinators

Purple coneflowers are my favorite. Here are 2 of the 4 species I have: Echinacea pallida -pale PCF - and Echinacea paradoxa - yellow coneflower. This year I have successfully saved most of my PCFs from the ravenous groundhog. 😄 #nativeplants🌱

Gillenia stipulata, American ipecac, is blooming now, though the plant is known more for its striking fall foliage color. I thought it might be ruined when the groundhog chewed it down this spring, but he actually helped it be less leggy. 🌱 #nativeplants

You are not alone. Andor: "I have friends everywhere"
Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

I lost many butterfly milkweeds in my backyard over the winter, but this one growing out of the front steps is doing great. 🤷

The bumble bees (several species) are loving the white wild indigo. They are also crawling inside my penstemons. So interesting to watch. 🌱 #nativeplants #pollinators

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.
Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.
