Our country was founded on NOT having a King. Today is no different. I support an America that is "for the people and of the people" just like Abraham Lincoln said in his Gettysburg Address.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!
My mother painted this for me many years ago.
I'm honored to share it on this special day of tribute. ❤

For the record, I'm not interested in AI actors, AI songs or singers, AI written books or articles, and certainly not AI memes that degrade others. AI has it's place assisting humans, not replacing them.

I call this photo "The Hitchhiker"
Coming back from grocery shopping we picked up a hitchhiker. He rode with us for about 2 miles down a 55mph hwy clinging to the window until we turned into our subdivision and he got off by a big field. Hope he enjoys his new home.😊

Let Freedom Ring!

Watching all these recent events had me wondering why it seems that some never pay for the damage they do to the world and others... which led me to write this poem.

A world without a heart is like a world without light - just a cold dark place spinning in space. I still believe that love and compassion can fill the empty void. I refuse to give up hope.

For some today's filled with joy, for others it's filled with sorrow. But for all, Mother's Day means the gift of giving someone the beginning of life or supporting them in life. Mom's take many shapes — they all deserve our honor & respect. They make the world a better place!

I took this photo of the American Flag this week on a stormy day here in Nashville. Some might see it as the darkness descending. But I see it as the "Light of Democracy" rising up to conquer the darkness. Hold on and don't lose hope. Together We Are Strong!

Mad respect for actual artists. I'm much better with words, but still, there's a wonderful sense of abandonment, of being able to lose myself and live in the moment when I'm drawing. This is "Henry" (my neighbor's dog) who I like to call "Woo Woo" after his sweet bark.

What we need are laws that stand strong, not norms that are easily broken by those with no values or morals.
What we need are representatives with backbones, not spineless capitulators staying silent on bended knee when their voices so desperately need to be heard.

Beautiful & rare sight called a downburst was captured in Gallatin Tennessee from the severe thunderstorm that moved thru Sumner County 4/5/25.
