I can’t understand how there is any pink in metro Atlanta for the PSC races. GA Power has a stranglehold on the consumers there. My power bills consistently went up there despite changes made to the house to make it more energy efficient. I understand that it’s even worse now. I 💙 blue GA though.

Hubs researched the Smithsonian Institution way of hanging Native American rugs and mounted the one we purchased on vacation in Santa Fe, NM. Today it was installed. So pleased we’ll get to enjoy it every day now.

“It’s a practice, not a perfect.” That simple phrase carries a lot of meaning. Creative Grief Studio Founder, Kara, tells the story of how these words first took root in her life and work.

This was the day before the military was moved into DC. Miller was trying to paint a dystopian image of the so-called violence when a cute little family strolled by with not a care in the world. Absolute idiocy.

The memes make themselves. Stephen Miller says that the DC streets are “more violent than Baghdad” as a cute little family of four strolls by on…the streets of DC. 🙄 I didn’t use a meme creator here. This was the actual closed caption on the video I was watching.

I can wring my hands with the best of them. Today I chose my peace. I checked in on the budget bill, but we could see where that was going after the Senate passed it. I didn’t let it commandeer my time. I checked on the wildlife & wildflowers. Made a little pottery and made plans with neighbors. 1/3
