When New England weather can't make up its mind, you dress accordingly.

In other important news, I heard it's National Empanada Day today, and as a self-proclaimed empanada queen, I offer you one from my homemade batch. I make them at least once a week and they're gone in minutes. 🍜🍽️

Good morning, Bluesky. Trying to stay positive today (let's see how long that lasts). Finally getting around to sharing some beautiful scenes from Washington DC while I was there. The cherry blossoms were such little pops of joy 🌸

Pink cherry blossoms frame a garden path lined with colorful tulips and greenery, with people gathered near a fountain in the background. Pink cherry blossom trees line the sidewalk where people are walking in downtown Washington D.C.

Opposition to tyranny was expected at the #handsoff protest in Washington DC this past Saturday, but the witty and creative creative signs were such a joyful bonus.

Today's activity in Washington DC! So many in attendance!I have many more photos to share.

I'm standing in front of the Washington Monument at the Hands Off protest in Washington D.C. holding a sign that reads 'Resist' There are no kings in America!' with the letter I in the word resist resembling a flag poll displaying an upside down American flag. Large crowd gathered at the Washington Monument for the 'Hands Off' protest in Washington DC, holding signs and flags under a cloudy sky.

Hi Bluesky friends, sorry I've been MIA. Been a bit busy in D.C. I heard there's an event here today 😁

Chipotle tacos but we were craving hard shells and didn't have any so I baked flour tortillas in the oven until they puffed up, poked holes in them once cooled a bit and filled them. They were perfect little tostada bowls.

Was out late at a couple's PJ game night and recovering this morning with this. It might possibly be the best hangover food I've ever had. Thankful to the hosts for it today!
Bacon jam, goat cheese, sauteed onion, roasted garlic, and herb focaccia. 🍽️🍕🍜

A sort of pizza for breakfast..the best!

Wading into serenity.

We'd hiked for about and hour through a nature reserve of rocky trails and forest when it all suddenly opened up to this.
The peace and tranquility I felt here has been unmatched.

Ok, with everything going on, I feel like we need a break. Can I interest you in an empanada? I made about 2 dozen. Half beef, have veggie. Not enough for everyone, unfortunately but hope they take your mind off the chaos for a second as you're scrolling by. Buen provecho! 🍽️🍲🥟

Ok, enough raging about group chats from me today! As promised yesterday, here's a timeline cleanse closeup #POTD of these two beautiful horses I made friends with while in Ireland. Love them!

Two horses look right at the camera taking this photo. One is white & the other is a mottled light gray in color. Both stand behind a rustic stone wall in a scenic Irish countryside setting under a blue, clouded sky.

Good morning, Bluesky. Trying to keep the Monday blues away so here's a pretty #POTD!

Tomorrow I'll share a close up of these two beauties since they came right up to me to say hi while I was taking their photo. 🐴

I'm trying to keep away from the negative noise and work on making little joys my priority.

This #POTD 📸 is one of them. Can't wait for my irises to bloom again!

🪻 It's Spring!
🎉 It's Friday!
