Beautiful early morning walk at the Lake. Osprey eating her catch on the tree above me, blue heron, and this swan whose mate is laying on a nest nearby,yesterday a young Bald Eagle. Today I’m taking a break from news to energize my soul. Water color painting and a long hike.

Well, I am learning to navigate through Bluesky. I’ve given up Facebook. I spent the afternoon watching Bernie Sanders rally in Los Angeles, though I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t bring up Vet friends. I do realize that it is up to us to take back America.
