Think "Green Acres" except Lisa dragged a willing Oliver out to Hooterville to be farmers.

I haven't had snow on my birthday since the day I was born! Hubs took me sledding for my first-ever downhill toboggan ride. Happy winter!

My friends in FL thought I was NUTS for leaving after 10 year-round summers. I'll have everyone know that I'm nuts for many other reasons.

Thinking about this poem this morning. Near misses, scraping by, bouncing back, and the big warm whatever comes next.

I finally had the space to display The Inherited Nativity. As luck would have it, my caganer fit in the scene beautifully.
Until next year, Tiny Pooper. May we be blessed with peace and prosperity in the days ahead.

I'm starting my last day of 2024 at my local library. I have to return some videotapes, renew a book, and see about joining the Book Club. There's something special about libraries - as I get older, the ✨️magic✨️ stays the same.

Loved seeing my great-niece (5) and great-nephew (3) last night. She's getting a real unicorn from Santa, and he knows the dinosaurs weren't real in "Jurassic Park" (except the T-Rexes, they were specially trained for tne movies). May we all dream so big!

So is Luigi Mangione the copyrighted product, or is it the phrase "deny, defend, depose"? Asking for a friend.
‘United Healthcare’ Using DMCA Against Luigi Mangione Images Which Is Bizarre & Wildly Inappropriate

Adding: plant native milkweed to your area, and be sure to clip it back once the monarchs should be on their way. Check migration maps and planting zones, and keep it native and natural!
Have you heard the news?

The Biden Admin will protect monarch butterflies.

It's unfortunate that it's needed, but It's good this administration will protect them.

Monarch butterflies will get federal protections as a threatened species.

Do your part & plant milkweed.

Monarch butterflies will get federal protections as a threatened species
U.S. officials decided to extend protections to monarch butterflies after warnings from environmentalists that populations are shrinking and the beloved pollinator may not survive climate change.

Just moved to a small town, and the library has been a very important resource! Rural librarians are masters of the stacks and keepers of town knowledge. Showed me to city hall and the "easier" DMV, then introduced me to "The Good Life" and some Rose Wilder Lane. I'd be lost without the library!
Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.
