Such a beautiful pupper. Breaks my heart, though I know it’s in a spectacular environment, it’s still homeless 😖

I’ve fostered and flown quite a few to homes in the US, but it hurts my heart every time.

Thank you! It was my first time watching sunset from my land since I bought it. Was amazingly special. Then, the SpaceX rocket exploded above, and things got really weird lol. I’ll post that one another day x

Love that! One of my besties’ brothers lives in Ennis, so I spent most of my time wandering there, and then through the state, and that was, frankly, spectacular.

Sometimes, I play in my kitchen when I’m actually #home.

Rack of #shortribs, two ways. One in #stout and one in #Shiraz, four hours long and slow in the oven, with roasted potatoes and asparagus.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

A field in the foreground appears to be blowing in a wind, as the sky in the background grays and bands of rain fall on mountains in the background, on the horizon.

Green mangroves and iron shore flanked by a blue and white dock reach out into clear waters, with varied shades of blue, as clouds on the horizon indicate an impending rainstorm.

Teal blue deck chairs sit on a brown tile deck, opposite a cornflower blue dock with white railings, overlooking crystal waters of the sound, with white and gray puffy clouds on the horizon, and greenery lining the sound.

No, it’s the opposite of, not reverse. It’s a saying that we have where you don’t just look at the clouds around the sun, but you flipped to the other side of the sky, and look at the reverse of the sun setting, which is where you’ll find some of the most beautiful colors, Thanks for the snark tho!

Simple ingredients, well executed, fully consumed.

“Griddled” cornbread/johnny cake, with honey, and a sunny side up egg fried in the same pan. A nod to #turksandcaicos while I’m home in #newzealand.

It took Darth’s breath away (see what I did there?)🍜

Two pieces of cornbread brown in sizzling hitter in a pan along with a sunny side up egg, all drizzled in honey, on a gas cooktop.

A cloud covered sun illuminates the field below it. There are trees in the right background, with a taller swatch of weeds and wildflowers on the left foreground, with flattened versions of the same to the right.
