Saw one too many mention of LGBTQ+ community being referred to as a mental illness today. Someone actually commented on a post about gay men that AIDs was the cure to said mental illness. Appalling. Uninstalled all meta apps from my phone for now.

Happy Saturday! Enjoying some time outside in the deck overlooking our trees and taking in the view. The pups are enjoying the same.

"Terrible things are happening outside... poor helpless people are
being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." -

Anne Frank (Jan 13, 1943)

A wintry Saturday morning walk with the pups along the Coal Mines Trail in Roslyn. Mountain life, FTW.

Ruff life for these two love bugs! Forever napping, or the polar opposite.

I started Dry January a little early this time so I’m already on Day 25 without any alcohol. I don’t really even miss it. I think my entire relationship with alcohol could change this year. Hmmm…

A brisk MLK Day in our neck of the woods. Grateful our heat pump is killing it and it’s still 70 inside. Good day for a fire in the wood stove though.

A few of the amazing humans I’ve collected as friends over the years.
