A Cicada transformed in my garden today reminding me that sometimes you don’t need to look further than your own backyard for happiness #insectthursday #wizardofoz
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. #politicstoday

I’m having a hard time with the news ever since our president bombed Iran. I am distracted from my work, crabby at the slightest trigger, and wake up at night anxious. Walks and not over doing it seem to help but I’m so tired of the media buzz. #taketime #itsthelittlethings

Change is an interesting energy. Some folks thrive on it while others push back. No rain for several weeks makes me crave change. #hope #change #everystepcounts

We walked and rested along the North Shore today and the stones reminded us about the rhythms of the Earth. Remember, power and erosion create change. #naturespeaks #lakesuperior #pressure #change

I keep writing to my republican congressman Pete Stauber. I continue to ask hard questions. His team replies include "woke", "misinformation", "out of control", and "Although we may disagree on this issue, I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts." #Hope #Resistance #DefendTheConstitution

The US border with Canada is one of the longest unmilitarized borders in the world. At our town hall yesterday someone asked “what can I do?”
@agellison.bsky.social reminded us about the importance of kindness on the small scale. Every little bit does count. #kindness #leadership #usborder

I am overwhelmed with the political distractions attacking our democracy. How are folks finding balance? #springequinox #staystrong #keepfighting

Spring in Minnesota reveals all kinds of surprises. We saw this where the snow melted away near our back door. A fascinating find. #itsthelittlethings #nature

Minnesota is "on notice" from the Justice Department for allowing transgender athletes to play. If Bondi and the Justice Department did some fact checking they would learn that this is a very very small number of kids. They are all bullies! Leave the kids alone. 🏳️‍⚧️ #LGBTQIA+

The last time I was at the Gulf of Mexico was 2019. This photo tried to capture a stunning sunrise we witnessed on March 21 at dawn. It was very close to the Spring Equinox that year - which was March 20 at 4:58 PM, the night before. #gulfofmexico #walks #springequinox
