omg, our boy Seth, who looked much like Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, used to choose 1 ornament/year to sacrifice to our feline goddesses. Only one. Miss that guy. One ornament/yr still drops, usually when we're in another room, & I'm convinced it's Seth visiting/reminding us not to neglect duty.

This cat is more James Earl Jones than James Earl Jones. So handsome and majestic.

The aptly named Hairy Balls milkweed covered in snow. It’s a volunteer re-seeded from a plant I got last year. Blooms later than our natives so a good source of fall food for garden visitors.

Before pneumococcal vaccines were available I had a colleague in Clin Micro who died from it. He was fine on Saturday when we worked together. By Monday at noon he was gone. Highly contagious and 12 hours from symptoms to dead in his case. That's what these ghouls want for our children.

Old doge, new snow. You're never too old to have fun in the snow. 🥰

Setting aside the fact that this guy thought it would be cute to return to the womb for a photo op, given the prevalence of phallic symbols in architecture, I find the choice of a vagina for public art outside an infectious disease clinic ... interesting. 🙄

The Trump admin is trying to legitimize - and USE - the Nuremberg defense, a failed attempt at defending Nazis who claimed innocence via the claim that they were "just following orders." Trump wants full impementation of Führerprinzip (leader principle).

da Vinci immediately comes to my mind as one classic example. His iconic image the Vitruvian Man combines both his artistic and his scientific skills.

She's so pretty, Ryan. Our younger girl won't tolerate costumes but she loves leaves. Happy Thanksgiving to you both and thank you for all the information you share here.

Temps are dropping fast & we have hard frost in the forecast. I'm harvesting the last of the mints to dry for our winter tea. Will pull up a few Daikon radish and carrots to snack on while we make our Thanksgiving dinner. Our garden provides, March through November.

The same reason it took two years for Obama's Kill List memo to be revealed. This started with Nixon, or before, was bipartisan, and has involved many (every?) President since who wants to do something they know is illegal.

This, literally, is the plan: 'If you don't look for it, it doesn't exist and we don't have to spend any money on it.'
Trump said it about covid in his first admin and some crackpot at Heritage decided to put that in the book as Rule One.
