Civil liberties are under attack in the USA like never before. It’s scary, it’s real — and that’s why I hope to raise $100,000 this week to empower the American Civil Liberties Union (@aclu.org). But I’ll need your help.

I simply can not bear another minute of the news today, so I'm spending the weekend canning and sewing. I truly hope that you'll be able to find something to do today that brings you a few moments of joy and relief from this flaming trainwreck.
Behold! Carrot and daikon radish pickles.

This week's canning projects were all about the cherries: 3 pints of Danish cherry sauce and 3 quarts and 5 pints of delicious cherry pie filling all topped off with 4 pints of green beans from my bean plants that are just starting to produce. I LOVE putting homemade food on the shelf! #canningsky

First loaf out of the new oven with Bread Proofing option. The proof temp was 15 degrees warmer than my usual temp, so I overproofed the hell out of it and then burned the bottom while baking because it bakes way hotter, but I'm pretty darn happy with this crumb! #breadsky #bakesky

I'm simply exhausted by all of this and I'll bet you are, too.
Here are some early morning flowers to cheer you up. #bloomscrolling #gardensky

These poor little guys took a beating in the recent rainy spell, but hopefully they'll get back on their feet this week. #bloomscrolling #gardensky

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

This is ominous.

This little painted rock was sitting on the ledge at the bank drive-up window this morning and it was truly a gift on this grey and difficult day.
I hope it brings you the same boost it brought me. Let's all just keep going.

As we all start planning/planting our summer vegetable gardens, please remember to add an extra row or two to grow food to donate to your local food shelf. There are going to be hungry people all around us this year.

Opinions, please? My plan: 1" wide white border, then a 2"wide purple border, then another white border. How wide should that final border be? The quilt will be 95"wide after that purple border and I only want this to be a queen sz so I can't get too carried away. Blocks are 14" #quiltsky

Question: I'm 64 and had my measles vax when I was a child. Given the fact that measles seems to be ramping up, does that vax still protect me or do I need a booster? #medsky

Ok, hear me out.
Thousands of people just lost their jobs, the White House is an international disgrace, there's a growing measles epidemic, bird flu looms on the horizon, the world is lurching toward WW3, and I'm supposed to care about a bunch of celebrities at the Oscars tonight?
Puhleeze.
