My interests, and posts, are a hodgepodge. I’m a Democrat who enjoys baking, books, and candle making. I use my dog, Teddy, for likes and post about other dogs who need homes.
Oh, so #TongueOutTuesday is a thing? Well, Teddy’s got ya covered.

Wantagh, #NewYork, look at this sweet lady. She’s at Hempstead Animal Shelter and is waiting for her person/people to bring her home. She needs a patient, adult only home. Compassion can do wonders.

Good morning, All Good People.

I unwrapped the Barmbrack Tea Bread I baked on Tuesday. Baked bread with lots of raisins in it, butter at the ready, w/a cup of Tea with honey, maple syrup, & vanilla syrup. With all the world’s falling into hell, right now, it’s the little luxuries, ya know?

Exploring my ancestral roots through traditional bakes. I made Barmbrack Irish Tea Bread a couple of weeks ago. It was good, but this one looks better.
Hoping I find the coin for wealth, this time.

Good Morning. Hope your day, and your week, is happy, happy, joy, joy.
And Happy New Moon in Scorpio Week.

I wanted a selfie of me and Teddy, yesterday. And I just have to share this. Look at how cute Teddy is.

Just finished “We Live Here Now.”

I love a good haunted house story, but a haunted house story with a twist? I cannot recommend this novel, enough.
I first saw it as a recommendation by Stephen King. Turns out that guy knows what makes a great story. Who woulda thunk it? 😉😏

This morning, I ate a leftovers breakfast. Chicken noodle soup I made on Saturday and bread I baked on Sunday.

My dog, Teddy, watched me eat, after he’d had his own breakfast. When I finished the bread, he walked away. So I know what he wanted. I’ll take it as a complement.

Dogs are the absolute best. They are pure love, even when they’re spoiled rotten.
Ever since I brought my Teddy home, I’ve felt a drive for all dogs (and cats, horses, bunnies, gerbils, hamsters, etc etc) to be safe and well, with their people, because a Soul Dog is a Blessing.

Going through my photo library and found this one. I was in a park, and I saw this tree, with lots of interesting bark texture, so I took this photo, pointing the camera up the tree, against the bark.

If I can do surreal, I’ll do surreal.

I started reading “Nobody’s Girl,” Virginia Roberts Guiffre’s posthumous memoir, a couple of weeks ago.

It isn’t an easy read. And that’s before she meets Jeffrey Epstein.

I had to take breaks from it, because it is horrific. But, as hard as it is to read, it’s so much worse to….🧵

Uh, yeah. Follow the link to find an event near you, marked by a dot on the map. Shouldn’t be a problem.

Stay safe, Brothers and Sisters. We have each others’ backs. I send Love to you all.

Blue reminds me of my boy, Boo. This was him being greeted by my Golden Retriever, Gracie. Boo ended up being 110lbs of gentle giant.

Happy Schnauzer Day to all the Minis, Standards, and Giants. My Teddy says hello to all the Schnauzer pet humans.

#Home isn’t always where you’ve ever lived, but it’s the place where you feel like your heart is all around you. For me, that place is Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
It’s a town for the Artists, the Hippies, the Spiritual, the outcasts, where Beauty is never ending and all are welcome.

I’m originally from Dallas, so my roots grow from big city concrete and traffic jams. The first time I saw a deer, I thought I’d been transported to another universe (to be fair, it was in Kansas, so it was kinda another universe).
Never really got over that feeling.

I’d tried, for days, to find the angle, the positioning the objects, the filter to capture how I wanted this still life to look.
I’d assembled things that are symbolic of me: my Native purse I carried at pow wows as a kid, a neo hippie lamp, a Victorian tea kettle, for a #stilllife #photo titled…

Found a baby #bird, this morning, on the ground, lying in its back in the direct baking Sun. I made a makeshift nest out of a planter and hung it in the tree the bird fell out of.

I checked on it and saw a white shiny something I got video of. Anybody know what that is?

Funny trick to the eyeballs, this morning, while out to get #photos and video. Out in the country, I passed something that strangely looked like a child in a white shirt bent over. I turned around to check and, as I got closer, I saw it was hay sticking out of a white sack. 😆😅

Didn’t think to look inside the envelope. This is more information about Puppies Behind Bars’ mission and how donations are spent.
June 3, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Puppies Behind Bars is an amazing organization that trains incarcerated individuals to raise Service Dogs for Wounded War Veterans, First Responders, and law enforcement.

The incarcerated individuals benefit by giving back to society.

Dogs are the best.

Happy Pride to All the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community.

From an Ally, it’s difficult to articulate my feelings about what I’ve learned from my 2SLGBTQIA+ friends & family, but what it boils down to is Truth, Courage, and Love.

On a side note, the best hugs I’ve ever had was at Pride.

I’ve been doing the Plant Mom thing for a while, over two decades. No matter where I’ve bought plants, I always expect them to be root bound.

But I have never seen one this bad.

Always repot your #plants, as soon as you can. You never know how trapped their source of nutrients are.
