These beauties are in full bloom. It happens like clockwork every year. They are more than 20 years old. I don’t do a thing to them except keep them in partial sun and make sure they get water. #gardening #northflorida

I remember seeing children who needed life saving care DIE because they were denied treatment by insurance companies due to “PREEXISTING ILLNESS” how fucked up is that? Then along came President Obama who managed to set up the Affordable Care Act. What a wonderful POTUS he was.

Beautifully written. Fascinating story based on a real woman. The protagonist’s struggles will wear you out. Read when you have the strength to struggle with her.
