From The Week magazine, this week. Trump, making history whiter by erasing the brave contributions of Black soldiers in WWII by removing a cemetery display in the Netherlands. So wrong to try to cancel culture. We will remember are restore.

Fall molt in progress. Liz Taylor, the Lavender Orpington hen, is re-growing feathers and looks part porcupine with the quills sprouting on her wings. In full feathers, she's a lovely, fluffy hen. She did a big molt, and dropped a lot of feathers at once. We will both be glad when she's done molting

Edge (of Darkness) and I are celebrating 2 years since his gotcha date. He was a youngster. His foster mom doted on him, and it shows. He has 4 legs, but only 3 feet - congenital. Doesn't slow him down. Life with Edge is never dull. He's a BAD cat, but loving and adorable.

The news is depressing, so I'm celebrating Caturday and the end of Daylight Savings Time with Wash. I wish I had a tail I could curl like that.

Baby chicks hatched 9/15 are growing fast. They love being out in the small coop and run. They do short hops flying across the run, mock-fight each other, and take dust baths like real hens. Colors are very different than as chicks, and will probably change a bit more as they grow. Pretty pullets.

I was at friends who foster underage kittens for Faithful Friends Rescue. The tabby gang of 4 are 6 weeks old and wild tiger play kitties. It was great to watch them play and hear them thunder across the room. Oh, kittens.

Therapeutic sewing while watching "My Cousin Vinnie". Pattern Emporium's "Be Mine" top w/balloon sleeves in quilting cotton from Hawthorne supply. NY Times said recently that sewing is "in". I never knew it was out. Love that a cropped top makes me look taller instead of my 5'1". #garmentsewing

This once more proves that colleges with sports teams are an athletic franchise, with an education side hustle. Buyout for fired UF coach Napier is $21 MILLION. Glad America knows what's worth funding. We are a crazy country. Follow the $.

The Gainesville, FL protest was well attended, with many fine posters and costumes, including a giant Trump puppet with accompanying signs and musicians. All present were of one mind about loving America, democracy, and thinking Trump was hurting the country and people. Peaceful. Heartening.
