So, Labor Day weekend, I do an Autumn decorations switch out on the Friday. I'm in Texas, so I will imagine the cooler days for a bit. I love seeing the library with the tree done up next to it. Super happy we have a rainy, somewhat cooler weekend this weekend.

Had Nevis and Kintyre to the vet for their yearly checkup. I love seeing the color difference between the two brothers. Kintyre is the darker one, and about 78 lbs, and a fraction of and inch taller than Nevis with his 76lbs. Kintyre also helps hold yarn when needed. 😆

Couple of random photos after a brief walkabout in the pasture. Texas pretties, and slime mold.

Kintyre and Ben Nevis enjoying a breezy, comfortable spring day in Texas. Heather told Kintyre she wasn't letting him back in. #oldtimescotchcollie #cat

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.
It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books
A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

Texas decided to have a cold snap. Currently 44F (feels like 37). Today is crocheting, relaxing to great music, staying cozy, worrying about the plants I booted outside, but are currently covered, and taco soup and TX toast. The soup smells wonderful.

Cory Booker ending his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor:
“Let's get in good trouble."
What a fantastic way to cap off his epic 25 hour and 5 minute speech.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
