It's cold here today.

It's not THIS cold here. This is the frozen Gunnison River in the dead of winter, but it's cold enough. I am happy to stay inside and post pictures of coldness online, and bake more Christmas cookies.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

Let the Christmas baking commence!

My favorite part of the holiday. What are you baking this year?

A little turkey-day humor for you.

May your stuffing be tasty, May your turkey be plump, May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious, and your pies take the prize, and may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs.

Can’t we have some? Just a little bite? Please please please please

The vultures are circling.

Little beggars. Good thing they’re cute.

Of course we dress up like we're going to bed when we fly. Every time I come back to the East Coast from seeing my grandbaby in Hawaii it has been a freakin' red-eye flight. Not dressing up to sleep in a bus seat for 12 hours. Sheesh.

P.S. I'm in a much better mood when I am comfortable.
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

George W Bush’s administration found lawyers to justify torturing prisoners

Now Trump found lawyers to justify murdering fisherman they say are smuggling drugs

This is why Mark Kelly and his colleagues made the video telling troops to follow only legal orders

And why Trump threatened to kill them

Vibrant red daylilies. I think I need to add some daylilies to my front flowerbed next year.

I am just feeling yellow flower happy today. It's been a good week and getting better. Despite all the weirdness of our world right now, there are things to celebrate.

What are you celebrating this week?

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

an oldie but a goodie. My first digital painting from more than a few years ago.

And I still love it as much as I did then.

What? You don’t have a cat pantry at your house? Where do you store your cats?

Tiny little mushrooms, hanging out in my forest.

Having your own forest is so cool. 10/10 definitely recommend.

To all those who serve and have served—all races, all genders, all branches of the military. For protecting freedom and democracy around the world and through the years, thank you.

Summer is definitely at an end. It feels like actual winter here this morning with a thermometer reading in the 20s. Brrrr.

Again: This entire shutdown fight is one big advertisement for #MedicareForAll

Making a broken system less bad is not a real answer and never was.
