That green garden shed is delightful!

For anyone who doubts Trump's narcissism, here is proof on full display. The way he behaves around rich, powerful men is exhibit A in proof that he is deeply psychologically disturbed and has been for nearly his entire life.

This is beyond the pale. Completely, utterly, beyond it. "Things happen." I'm so embarrassed that this guy represents our country.

“…and an Illinois Department of Transportation employee, who is Indian, questioned if he’s aware of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at a resurfacing project in Park Ridge.”

Unbelievable. Check that. Actually, very believable from this racist administration.

Good news about Askum’s bandage. Now for the lampshade (cone)! Poor guy he’s been through it, as have you, John. Wishing you both a fine day.

So true. I can’t keep up. It feels like a whirlwind. Sometimes one wonders if one even wants to keep up! So much doom and gloom.

This is good news! Have struggled with sleep off and on and you’re right - brutal!

Have lingered in front of that painting many times. Grateful to have nature’s generosity in such troubled times!

Hope you were bundled up for that ramble, James. Beautiful sunrise. Rainy and mild here this morning. Starting to despair that we will see proper cold weather!

What a dapper fellow!

Which I suppose is technically true, since Trump was a democrat until he saw a golden opportunity to exploit the R's in order to become president.

Stunning, James. Can't explain it, but there is something incredibly hopeful about such a sunset. It's similar to this painting by Bricher just after the American Civil War. Hits me right in the heart every time. www.slam.org/collection/o...

I think we're still a bit too warm overnight, but I'm holding out hope! Will look forward to your snowy pics!

What a view - a cold and crisp view! Magical Scotland. A safe and enjoyable trip to you and yours, James.

I love this so much. Realizing this a few years ago cracked my heart wide open and healed so, so much brokenness in my own life. It continues to amaze and heal.

How cute are they? A good morning, indeed.
