I was so lucky to live for a short time in Puerto Rico. It is truly a magical place were nature feeds the imagination. Inspired, I created art. I like how my artwork turned out. I'm happy it's proudly displayed in it’s new home in PR.

Colorful handmade mask hung at the top center of a hand painted wooden canvas. The mask is an interpretation of the Vejigante style mask using the town flag of Lares, Puerto Rico. On hand painted wooden canvas frame there is a flag of Puerto Rico. On the top red strip the words “Orgullo Boricua” and on the second strip to your right is a Coqui frog on a leaf. Below the flag from your left to right are the Morro and in the center the words of the town "Lares, Puerto Rico followed by two Palm tree set on a black glittery night.

Fall Weather blues ... should be cooler instead we hit high 80 degrees, sunny, clear sky and overall a beautiful day. Enjoyed a walk in the park while looking at the changing colors of leaves. Grateful.

Good use of ripe green plantain... so I made this hybrid Puerto Rican breakfast. #GreenPlantain #Plantain

Basically, I stir fried on pan the ripe plantain with a dash of olive oil until each side as a golden brown. I also made a diced red potatoes cooked in olive oil with freshly cut basil.

I'm sad. I'm worried. There too much happening in the world, at home, and now this, our little Sally is sick and staying at Vet Hospital.

Sally (black and white miniature cat) in carry at the Companion Animal Hospital in Austin, TX. Dr. Alfredo Geigel Ortiz is the only person I trust with her. Sally is dehydrated and currently receiving treatment. I hated to leave her there but it's for the best. She needs help.

Gardeners, Questions? Where are the bumble bees? I managed to capture this guy but I have NOT seen more pollinators... Very concerned. I check daily to see if there are pollinators... and it's a low count. What are you experiencing?

Public education is for everyone. Invest in it instead of gradually dismantling it and calming that it doesn't. Voucher plan DOES NOT work ... look at other states that has implemented it. Don't do the same mistake.

A well funded public school does work and works quite well.

Voucher students perform 24 percentile points below public school students in math. Vouchers aren’t helping—they’re hurting. Let’s invest in our public schools where students can succeed. HEARING IS TOMORROW, TAKE ACTION NOW: buff.ly/SXWERVU

Shout out to sevenmilemountain.etsy.com
for making a better world. Sorry to hear sales dropped since the change of leadership. I do not support tariff and it's a damn shame this country is causing so much harm to small businesses and pretty much everyone globally.
