It seems just yesterday these sunflowers were fresh and new. They're now dried and drooping, but there is still beauty in their aging. I can relate.

Healthy turnout in conservative Western NC (think Madison Cawthorn) for the No Kings Rally. No one seemed to suspect my sign was a plagiarized Thanksgiving Day greeting card.

Mayor Barbara Volk proclaiming June as Pride Month in Hendersonville, NC today. The Pride Festival has come a long way in our conservative town since the first potluck picnic in 2019. Mayor Volk was there for the first one, and it took great political courage to issue that first proclamation.

It’s sad no one speaks of Tubman or Wells
as they pass in the Pentagon’s halls
Not King, Rustin, nor Nina Simone,
Ali, Fannie Lou, or Du Bois
No talk of Baldwin, Chisholm, or Parks
sullies that 5-sided site
Pete hopes to honor all warriors of color
as long as that color is white
as they pass in the Pentagon’s halls

It's Carl Sandburg's birthday. Poet, Lincoln scholar, collector of folk songs. In 1945, he and spouse Lillian moved to Connemara, their home in Flat Rock, NC.
A fitting quote for today:
"In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes when you awake in the morning." - Carl Sandburg.
