Happy 2025! Here's to more "horizon therapy" during quiet sunsets in National Parks. This during our last trip of 2024 in Joshua Tree National Park. Wishing everyone a healthy 2025!
When listening to experts talk about patterns in history, invariably, I learn something that shifts my perspective.

Still remember convincing my dad to buy an Apple Lisa in the late ‘70s. He ran a construction company & bookkeeping was done on a machine the size of a small pickup truck. I said he could simplify that process.
It’s all about the stories …

Love these ideas
Old chimney pots & earthenware pipes make splendid tall garden containers! 🪴 Transform Belfast/Butler sinks into miniature alpine gardens. Buckets & old metal cans create eye-catching planters. Drill drainage holes, add gravel, newspaper, & compost. Perfect for herbs! #Salvage #Upcycle #GardenTips

Privileged to read early copy of #SilentY by #KatherineBenfante.
Swept away in a thought experiment that seems so absurd, yet reveals elements that brush (sometimes too closely) with undercurrents in today’s world.
For lovers of Handmaid’s Tale, felt very Gilead.
