“Go ahead, it’s a free country” my son said. He was baiting me. He knew the tirade I would unleash, and I did. Folks, we do not live in a free country. I know I am preaching to the choir here. But we need to come out and say it as it is. To everyone. (My son agrees, it was a mood)

So, in Harrisburg, OR, the annual “old fashioned 4th of July” fireworks started like this: the first few lighted the field across the river from the town. Engines from the towns on both sides put it out, and the fireworks resumed. (Historically that field is hay, likely not yet cut)

Close encounters. I am guessing the canine is more vicious than the feline and I have the scars to prove it 🤪.

On my soapbox again. Whatever person nurtured you, who shaped who you are, the one you turn/ed to when you need/ed a friend, that is “mom”. That is the human who mothered you. Don’t let another person dismiss you by saying that person is not your “real” mom. Dismiss them!

Happy Mothers Day to those who celebrate.
Here is the sweetest mother/son music video done by bass (and so much more) acapella artist Tim Foust and his mom, Dena Foust.

I’m weary. Tired. Not defeated. Just catching my breath. Soon be ready to actively resist more. Take a breather if you need to. Better to rest a bit than to burn out. We need you.

A large #paintedturtle sunning itself on the pond. There are several turtle species in it.

1/? An acquaintance posted something today that has spurred this rant. RE: going places with disabled persons. If you consider someone a friend, but won’t go anywhere with them because of their disability, then you are NOT a friend. Be you, that’s fine, but don’t pretend you are a friend.

A sweet moment today. I use a rollator, and I am old. Walked to the pharmacy, then to bus stop - which is next to a middle school. I stopped to adjust some things, and this delightful boy, about 11, came from behind me and asked me if I needed any help. How thoughtful and caring. (See comments).

Not a perfect photo because it’s zoomed in, but caught an #egret with a (relatively large) fish in our pond. They always seem to eat them on the far bank.

The Rhododendron bush outside my window. Fortunate to live in a nicely landscaped and maintained complex. There are perks to higher density living. Appreciating beauty and positivity where ever it can be found.
