So many people at the Beaverton #nokings protest! The boys came with me for their first protest. The energy was peaceful, serious, yet jovial with music and community.

"The great glory of American democracy is the right to protest for right." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Whole in Memphis, I visited the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel where MLK was shot in 1968. It was a moving experience.

Human*kind. Be both.

Winter storm just hit the PNW. I have onion starts planted in my garden. I know gardeners are supposed to be "hardy" 🥁 But I'm a such a worried garden mom. #PNWGardening #garden 🌱🥶

I got to play in the garden between rain drops today. I'm feeling anxious about my onion starts. Are they going to be ok? My cats and others think I built them the best litter box in the neighborhood. So I'm fortifying my defenses. Hubby pruned the pear tree too. #pnwgardening #gardening 🌱 #varmits

I may have a day or day and a half to spend in Memphis, TN in March. What should I do, and - more importantly - where should i eat? #travel #memphis

If you already answered on "the book of face", feel free to skip.
Unscientific poll:
In your PERSONAL life:
1) How many of you actually leave a voicemail when you call someone?
2) How many of you actually listen to a voicemail when you receive one?
3) What generation do you identify with most?

Day 3 I feel like this one and yesterday's book are a little obscure. #booksky #bookchallenge

Sitting at the DMV. Got here before they opened, line was already around the building. 45 min later, our number isn't even on the board yet.

20 Books in 20 Days that have stayed with me. Just covers, no reviews. Also no particular order.

I've seen this going around, and now that I've unpacked some of my books, I'll play. (I realize it doesn't mean literally with me. :D )

I just started A Wrinkle in Time today. I thought I'd read it back when I was a kid, but after finishing the first couple of chapters, I don't think that's the case. The book is so much a part of the literary ethos that I must have absorbed it through osmosis. #booksky 📚

I finally got my 144 onion starts and planted them this weekend. I should have done this back in Oct/Nov, so hopefully they will be ok. Can't wait to really get the garden going. 🌱 #pnwgardening
