Emigrant Lake is full, we haven't seen it full in years! The tree peninsula is an island now.

View of downtown Ashland from Hald Strawberry Park trail. The tall building is the Historic Ashland Springs Hotel and the gray half circle building is the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Elizabethan Theater.

Yesterday this Pine Siskin sat by me on the deck and we enjoyed the sunshine together.

RFK Jr. Just Kneecapped the CDC on His First Day...

They laid off half of its Epidemic Intelligence Service, otherwise known as the “Disease Detectives.”

The lay off affected 1,260 staff, reported NBC News’s Lewis Kamb.

Republicans have brain washed people by controlling media. And, by withholding federal money they are blackmailing us into submission. They are threatening those of us who don't fall into line & step with the new order. Sounds a lot like a book I read...1984!

My heart is so heavy. Those of us who stand up for democracy are being called communists. It's unbelievable how blindly people just believe what Trump’s fascist regimen tells them to think.

This is the most snow we've seen in the 37 years we've lived in S. Oregon, almost 16 inches and still snowing.

Trump’s FCC is now "investigating" PBS. The only news station I trust to tell the whole truth. Republicans are crushing our democracy and our freedoms on all levels.

"..one of the main tactics of tyrants is to create division and hatred through dehumanizing “others”.
Compassion and loving-kindness practices offer an antidote to help us get out of the loop of dehumanization and other-ing and remember that, at root, we are all connected."

After seeing the movie 'A Complete Unknown', I think we are in serious need of more songwriters like: Bob Dylan, Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seegar and Joan Baez to encourage fighting for our Freedom, our Rights, our Democracy!
