To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

But we could still afford modestly to set our own wild cherry in a chosen place at the eastern or the western corner of the garden: I say eastern or western because the reddening leaves would then catch either the morning or the evening light, sunrise or sunset. #gardening

There is no need to emphasize the loveliness of the wild cherry in the spring, its great puffs of white appearing like the smoke of a train inexplicably stationary in the middle of bare woods. #gardening

Americans are facing a health care cliff: premiums are set to skyrocket when open enrollment starts on November 1.

This needs to be handled now—not in November, not in December.

As one MN farmer I met last week said, between this and tariffs, it’s a “perfect storm of ugly.”

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

I'm a Hoosier farm girl. Today, my travels took me through nearby Mentone, Indiana--"The Eggbasket of the Midwest." It occurred to me you might never have seen a statue of an egg, so here you go! Happy Weekend!

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

The justice, in public remarks, didn’t name the attorney general, who has come under fire for comments to target people over “hate speech.”

Horrific to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. Political violence must be always and totally rejected. Praying for him and all who may have been injured or impacted.

This is a tulip poplar that my mother planted in 1970. It has been struck by lightning twice. And then it gets back to the business of living. Blessings this Labor Day!

When you see a human or dog
who’s really good at something -
like Sports or Games or Music -
you know that they are
good at it
because they didn’t mind being
bad at it
for a very long time.
If you really want to do something
go ahead and be bad at it.
