Some friends know me. Bright yellow warbler & daisies card 😃❤️, as I enter 6th week of cancer treatments on a year-long plan. So far, daily radiation & daily Chemo PILLS are tolerable. Next phase: Infusion chemo (ick.)
One task at a time. Couldn't do this without my wise ol' bear.

Scenes like this have become almost common in Missoula (& elsewhere in Montana) This: Sunday morning 7/27/25 at very busy large intersection Reserve Street /Brooks St.
Most people drive by, "Oh, those idiots again."
Most likely imported haters, but not sure.

@mkinmt.bsky.social What is this ? Two feet tall. Bunch of them in a potted flower container. Looks like the pre-flowering stage of nasty Field Pennycress weed. .

We've had a rough couple of days (and years, really) in my family but one thing is rock steady: We Go Together.
Together, people get through almost anything; side by side.

What's in your yard, this April day? My old Kim Williams Nature Diary Calendar (1989 Missoula, Montana) predicts possible sightings of yellow warbler & yellow-bellied sapsucker. We'll see. Lots of rain here; #warblers may show up. #birds #birdsofbsky

Please, will take just a moment. Montana Homeowners r tired of governor’s b.s. "studying" huge unfair property tax increase that cost us thousands each!
Call/email your MT Leg State Senators to pass real Property tax relief for you. Tell them to vote Yes on HB528 ‼️
Accept no substitutes.

This reminder is important in all aspects of life but most often strikes me in politics, when speaking to candidates or elected officials. 👉🏾 To monkey-wrench the body you're serving in, to "blow up the system," allegedly to effect change, turns you into oligarch-style "bad guys" like Drumpf/Elon.

I believe I would be dead if it weren't for my #Medicare health insurance coverage. Just one tiny example in pic. Necessary health care is unaffordable without my Original Medicare plus Cigna supplemental plus WellCare Rx Part D.
