I'm so sorry. It's such a huge loss. 😒

A blurry photo of winter trees in front of a body of water. The photo is dark and moody, and the color enhanced sky is shades of blue and purple.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of my last run before coming down with #COVID, and 3 years of #longCOVID. #Running was one of my favorite things, and I miss it deeply. I took this blurry photo on that early morning run.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I made bath salts as Christmas gifts for co-workers once, years ago. It was an easy and fun gift idea.

Photo looking up at a sweetgum tree with yellow autumn foliage. The leaves are frosted with white from an early snow fall, as are the bare limbs of the trees that can be seen in the background. A gray-white cloudy sky can be seen through the branches.

Happy #ForestFriday! This sweetgum looks majestic holding onto its #autumn colors in the wake of an early November snowfall.

Holidays lead to a significant amount of wasted food that ends up in landfills. To minimize this, create a plan to eat leftovers, donate them, & get creative in the kitchen. Bring the remaining food to one of the City's food scraps drop-off sites, where it will be composted. columbus.gov/foodwaste

The photo shows a view of forest floor. Autumn leaves surround two puddles of water. Tree trunks and blue sky can be seen reflected in the water surface.

A burst of #autumn color for #stunday! Ohio, a week ago when colors were at their peak.

Maple trees in full yellow and orange autumn colors. A wooden boardwalk with wood railings dominates the lower foreground of the photo.

Autumn foliage of green, orange, and yellow viewed across a small river, and partially reflected on the water surface.

Looking up at treetops, with mostly green leaves with a patch of orange and yellow Fall foliage. Whitish bark of a standing dead tree is visible in the center of the photo. Blue sky is visible beyond the leaves in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

I have been working diligently this past year on my physical strength and endurance. A year ago I was doing aqua therapy with a physical therapist. Last week, I walked over a mile in a local park. I'm beyond happy to be able to hike again!

β€œFascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧡

Today is the first day of astronomical autumn, and where I live in Ohio we are definitely in ecological autumn as well. The sweetgum trees are dropping their leaves, and maples, like this sugar maple, are getting ready to. And birds are at peak migration.
