Flower farmer. Lover of old houses. Knitter. Proudly liberal. Dreaming of clean water and air but I live in Iowa where hogs out number people 7 to 1.
Cory Booker showed up and brought receipts.

Thank you, Senator Booker.

Now to get a sign ready for Saturday's march.

Tell me you are stressed without telling me you are stressed.

I ordered 10 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.

As I lay in bed, awaiting the sun to rise .... I wonder what fresh hell awaits us today. Or if he will just go fucking golfing.

Friday night. This is my life in my 70's ... not my life in the 70's. 😆

If you need to drown your sorrows in ice cream ...may I suggest Ben & Jerry's.

Cuz Blue Bunny supports cowards like Joni Ernst.

How to say you are stressed without saying you are stressed. I will go first.

I just ordered yarn for three new sweaters.

Want to know what is great about embroidery?

You get to stab something with a sharp object ... over and over and over again.

It feels so good.

I liked Meta when we talked about our vacations, our kids, what we were eating.

So here is toast with cinnamon sugar. Don't judge me. It is 5° in Iowa and I need comfort food.

Maybe it will sweeten your day.

Until then ... we need to tell Jerky Zurky goodbye.

Before my Social Security is "Musk-ed", I am trying to stretch my income.

I finally got wool/nylon darning thread for mending wool socks. First pair is done.

Not bad.

Do you know what makes you smile?

Flowers make you smile.

Order your Blossom Box starting 1/13 to grow your own beautiful flower garden.

We are going to need something beautiful to look at. Also it will cover those unsightly piles of dirt in the backyard. From crushing the patriarchy. 😉

I got to go to the Bradley Theater in Milwaukee to see the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra play the soundtrack to the Muppet's Christmas Carol.

This theater was built in 1915 and so beautiful! The MSO restored it in 2018. It was such a fabulous experience there.

Thank God for lifelines and top down knits. First try ...it's going to be okay.

Just doing my part to stick it to the patriarchy. Making my own clothes. And just to be real ... I have a sweaer I made in 1969 ... that I still wear. Definitely not fast fashion.

What's up, you ask?
Obviously me ... at 2 a.m.

If my status as a woman has been drug back to the 1960's , I might as well enjoy the music and hope for another British invasion.

I may look like this sweet old lady knitting away.

But I am silently chanting ...

Stab them
Strangle them.
Throw them off the cliff.

Don't fuck with post menopausal women.
