First time growing "Peach Melba" Nasturtiums. Who knew one wee plant would produce so many blossoms all at once? These are definitely on the "favorite annuals" list. #countingmyblessings

This little rose bush didn't look like much when I brought it home last year, but look at it now. Always something new to look at in the garden. #countingmyblessings

Someone has decided to eat "all fresco" this week. She's been hanging out on the front porch more and more, and has taken to declining going inside at her supper hour so Chad has taken to feeding her out here.

The Madleen was boarded by the IDF in international waters, its crew kidnapped and its vessel jeopardized. This is piracy. The Madleen's mission was humanitarian. They were unarmed, yet trying to deliver humanitarian aid, something Western nations will not. We demand their immediate release!

Kick 🇮🇱 out of the UN. Cancel all international contracts and treaties. Surround them militarily and make them stop! They're starving a trapped civilian population...please make them stop...

This year I've been working on starting more of my own plants from seed using recycled materials- e.g. 5 toilet paper rolls and half a 2L milk carton, reshaped and filled with seed sprouting medium. This will go into a bread bag until the seeds sprout. Can't wait to see how this works out.

Such strength in the form she demonstrates here. And I love her little grin of satisfaction at the end.

Leaving this here for anyone who needs reminding not to underestimate themselves.

NL Power wants a 7% rate hike starting in July despite profit reports from last year?
This is why utilities should NEVER be privatized. Energy is an essential service. Shareholder capitalism and greed are at the root of many problems. The "free" market is anything but. The 99% pays for it everyday.

Boycotts are not about "cancelling" a person as an individual, it's about countering the resources they have to spread a hateful message, it's harm reduction. The people most negatively impacted by her messages do not have the same means to defend themselves. www.facebook.com/share/12LPvt...

Planning a small garden plot is a fun way to garden when temperatures hover near freezing. Still sprouting seeds too. How do you make spring feel closer?

Tonight, I'm struggling to process all I've seen and read today. I did read a book today that you might want to check out - just published and available as an ebook. I also upcycled the sleeve of an old sweater I just felted - made a dog coat for my wee one.

CONTENT WARNING: This video is the stuff of nightmares.

It destroys all the lies IDF came up with.

This is what they do over and over again.

They commit an atrocity, lie, then the Western media treats their lie as credible.

Sometimes I make my own knitting patterns. Sometimes I use patterns made by others. This is the Close to You pattern by Justyna Lorkowska, available on Ravelry.

Trump doubles down & promises more arrests & deportations of people whose free speech he does not like (while deliberately lying and claiming its "pro-terrorist.")

No due process. No charge. Trump is pretending he's judge, jury, and executioner. This Is FASCISM. www.qasimrashid.com/p/ice-abduct...

Canada is at risk of succumbing to right-wing, authoritarian populism. Think I'm exaggerating? Read this, and then we'll talk.

Socialism for the ultra wealthy, but not for the other 99%.
"Shortly after becoming CEO of a cash-strapped Tesla in 2008, Musk fought hard to secure a low-interest loan from the Energy Department...holding daily briefings with company executives about the paperwork and spending hours with a government loan officer."

And now he hates government.
Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding
Government infusions at key moments helped Tesla and SpaceX flourish, boosting Musk’s wealth.
