Good morning. I need my flower garden more than ever these days. Every day there is another disaster for this country. I have to take mental sanity breaks with my flowers.

She knows she is beautiful.

My greenhouse beauties. Soon I will be taking them outside for the summer.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Good morning! Do t let the craziness get to you today!

My sweet kitty is growing so fast.

Today’s events have left me feeling sick at heart. How will we survive the next few years when the first few hours were so devastating?

This sweet girl reminds me that there are still good things in the world. I will be spending a lot of time with her this January 20. I will not be watching the convicted felon.

I would like to donate to an organization that will help animals in the California Area experiencing these devastating fires. Can anyone suggest an organization where donations go to the animals and not an administrator?

My first post has to include Fluffy! She brings me joy in these troubling days.
