Posting to pin because this photo brings me so much peace.
Two ducks on a pond under a tree at our local park. It was spring, so lots of pretty greens.

more christmas things this weekend
the christmas tree on the ice rink at the galleria dallas. photo taken from the bottom level looking up toward the vaulted skylight ceiling. the 12 days of chistmas clock at northpark center. description from the website: "The woodwork in contrasting colors and tones – redwood, birch, cherry, cedar, mahogany – lends depth and artistry. The clock’s original Twelve Days of Christmas carol was recorded onto a reel-to-reel tape recorder from a Firestone promotional vinyl album – along with a few pops and crackles. It was subsequently transferred to cassette and later to CD. A separate track of musical tones triggered the animation of each vignette, such as the kissing turtle doves and the doors opening in correspondence to the lyrics." red and white toy soldier statues with poinsettias and little trees on either side. santa's workshop at northpark center where you can get a very expensive photo with a fancy santa.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Few nursing homes can care for people who need help breathing with a ventilator because of ALS and other conditions. Insurers often deny payment for the best at-home machines, and innovative solutions are endangered by Medicaid cuts.
They need a ventilator to stay alive. Getting one can be a nightmare
