The second shows a close-up of holding hands and reads, 'but everyone I love is doing beautiful things and trying to make life worth living. ' Latter two panes of a four-comic story based on a poem written by Nikita Gill. The third has two a distant hillside on fire and reads, 'and I know I don’t have to believe in everything.'

It's our last day of a week in the Yucatan. We're so lucky to have a break from the relentless sorrow of what's happening across the US. Time to plug back in and see where I can help.

How our clover lawn looks like two months after rescuing dog #2. He likes his playtime.
Wide shot of clover lawn in winter, with a light dusting of snow and areas brown from extensive dog play. The two dogs are in the photo, resting for once.
