He is just a fraidy-cat. My husband was there for me through both of our sons' births. I love a courageous man.

❤️ 😍 ❤️

This is so inspiring. Warmly recommended. #Spring

He has killed grandmothers.

I love the sounds of baseball, especially of the ball hitting an old glove, and that chime that an aluminum bat makes (I loved to sit and watch Legion Ball!) You will get to hear them all.

My brother and sister-in-law (in Durango) say they are actually grieving the lack of a winter--and not just because they like to ski. Doug has showed me some very stressed aspens (from climate change). And that was almost 20 years ago.

Spot the difference…

A shiny creature! Or RADIANT, as Charlotte the Spider would say.

I love rainstick sounds!

A cat and a dog sit peacefully and expectantly side by side on a rug. The cat is black, and has shining green eyes. It is a very soft cat. The dog has a wiry coat, is slightly larger than the cat, and is sitting on her haunches. They are waiting for dessert!

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I accidentally turned on the sound at one point. My cat appeared, tail lashing and eyes squinched!

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

The tones in this shell washed onto the shore, and its beautiful edges. #colour #patterns

I think JD’s face has frozen that way.

So, the low-energy grandpa was just the opening act for the dark racist stuff

Trump just described voting as "the greatest privilege of them all."

We don't call it a privilege here. It's a right.

My mom’s was low today, and she is a 92-year old Republican who despises Trump, so I hope she’s listening in!

trump going on about corruption and then slandering somali-americans makes my blood boil

He’s giving a presidential Medal of Honor to a member of the men’s Olympic hockey team?

the state of the union is mens hockey thank you and have a good night

“The hottest country anywhere in the world.” That’s a good description of Trump’s dumpster fire.

Sitting in the hospital, I am hearing family members of dementia patients saying to each other sadly —“maybe she’ll go back to acting normal.” That’s always the hope, but it won’t get better.

The Rabbit, by a branch of red berries in a snowy field.

There was once a rabbit who dreamt of wild adventure, of liners sailing to Brazil, carrot fields in Norfolk, creameries in Normandy. I have a small life, he said. But before he died, he looked up at his beloved human & he realised that a life of love is never slight, not at all.

Do they though

It's so comforting when you know you can count on a great team! Sounds like she is in good hands.

My mom's tastebuds have changed so much in her 90's that she declared, "Subway's sandwiches don't have the flavor they used to. They must have changed the recipes!" And that restaurant chain ought to get an award for Consistent Sandwich Taste for Over 50 Years.
