Loves family, pets, and plants. Enjoys needlepoint, painting, reading, and sometimes cooking. Once a pianist, then later academic, in former iterations of this life.
The last week has been hot in temperature but chill in vibe. I finished this snail embroidery piece, our Pyrenees finally made it to the groomer! (she must feel a million times better!), kitties finding Costco boxes, and our five chicks moved from the garage brooder into their back yard coop!

A reminder to members of the U.S. Armed Forces that you took an oath to support & defend the Constitution, NOT the president.

This isn’t legal, Elon.
Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

I think I'll begin crocheting a soft, summer weight wrap this week. I'm in love with this yarn; hopefully I can allow enough air between my stitches to let the wrap drape and flow.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.
