I was outside when a sassy boi carpenter bee popped up, letting me know that the side of the garage was HIS territory, I love carpenter bees. They are so funny and they're good pollinators. If you're worried about them nesting in your deck or fence, just paint or varnish it to discourage them.

Marty was giving Zoe a bath, and I tried to get a photo of the cuteness. When I got close, Marty popped her head up and gave me the stink eye

I love Judy Collins. And I was so thrilled when I was a young teen that the song contains the word "ass". Quite racy for the times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvW2...

This morning Zoe was snuggled up on the cat heating pad. Marty was standing arched over her and eating breakfast. I tried to get a picture of them, but Marty moved when I picked up the phone. Zoe didn't look at all bothered by having her sister hanging over her.

3/3 I live where we get really bad weather when tropical storms move inland. Yes, I am furious about this nonsense. We NEED the National Weather Service.

2/3 Let me tell you this does NOT replace the National Weather Service. I live where there are tornadoes, and I need that warning. I live where there's no preparedness for snow, and I need that warning to stay off the streets with southern drivers who can't handle a quarter inch of snow.

1/2 I grew up learning how to read the weather from my parents, who were raised in the country back before modern weather forecasting existed. I know what a snow sky looks like. I know the eerie yellow-green that the sky often turns before a tornado.

NOAA is in the Trump administration's crosshairs.
You know the important work they do, but may now know that It's the descendant of the Coast Survey, the nation's first scientific agency, founded in 1807 under Jefferson. I spoke with maritime historians to put NOAA's legacy in context. 🧪🦑🌎🐟

A different type of song today. It's a hymn based on a poem written in 1845 by the abolitionist James Russell Lowell. Regardless of your religion, now is the time to decide for the good or evil side. Once To Every Man and Nation, by the London Philharmonic Choir www.youtube.com/watch?v=U21b...
