A lilac bush near us is sprouting green leaves. Poor plants don’t know what season it is. Today it’s 21 degrees with the wind chill. Hope the poor thing gets to go back to sleep.

So here’s a mystery. We found this cookie on the latch of our back porch. My husband thinks someone put it there to goof on us. But IDK why anyone would. I think a squirrel was on the porch roof and dropped it by accident, and it landed there. See the nibbles on the cookie? What say you?

The portal entices me
To go back, back, back
In time before the frack, frack,
Fracking of our world.
Hear the hack, hack, hack—
The wrack, wrack, wrack
Of a nation in steep decline.

I know baseball players look younger and younger as we get older and older. But I mean, really? This is Connelly Early, pitching tonight for the Red Sox. He looks like he's still in high school. #goredsox #redsox #redsoxnation

RIP Robert Redford. A heart throb and great actor. I once showed his version of the Great Gatsby to a high school English class. The girls in class all gasped when his face came on the screen. Yes, I said, we're all in love with him.

This is outrageous. A draft dodger cosplaying as a Vietnam War warrior and threatening a US city. We ALL need to be screaming WTF. This shouldn’t be happening in our country.

Only 2 in 10 women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed at stage 1. Most are diagnosed at stages 3 and 4.
I was diagnosed at stage 3C.
Know the symptoms.

We adopted a stray. Turns out he was very abused: scars on his head, missing teeth, and a crooked nose indicate someone hit him hard in the face. Then there are the pellets in his abdomen where someone shot him.
But he is the sweetest, most lovable dog we've ever had.
Adopt, don't buy.

Purple haze shows off
The color of bourgeoisie
It’s beauty for all to quaff
It’s beauty for all to see.
’Tis but an iris aloft
Celebrating a jubilee.

Two generations
Interact with lots of love
While two other people
Get sucked in
To worlds that have
No bearing to the real.
Take heed the message:
Give more stories
Love more people
Come back to reality.
