After a long hike, and lots of running, I still made it before sunrise! The only soul, I was treated to a breathtaking view of South Africa's Blyde River canyon, the calls of baboons echoing in the the distance, and birds circling below.

My lucky day! I came across a Sierra Nevada Ensatina newt while gardening today. I have not seen one of these in many years. Nice to see this lil’ newt out and about looking for a tasty insect to munch upon.

In between vacuuming & other chores, there are soothing cups of tea, beloved pages turned, & a pup who is ever-so-slightly annoyed whenever I get up to do something, other than fetch her a treat 😅

What does Thanksgiving really represent today?
Is our Divider-in-Chief actually bringing Americans closer together?
Is the choice for Democrats really “woke” vs. economic populism?
