This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

Obama-- shown here with Ruby Bridges herself-- hung the original painting in the White House. It's buried in a warehouse now. I hope. Unless one of Trump's henchman set it on fire.

At the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum, Van Gogh painted from memory and imagination—fields, stars, and wind.
From his bedroom window came The Starry Night (June 1889): turbulence turned to vision, the sky alive with motion and faith.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

It’s dance show weekend for my daughter, she’s been my own little muse for my dance embroideries. As a senior now she’s got lots of costume changes to do, so I’m looking forward to watching and getting more inspired… Wish her luck! 😊🪡🩰

Each month has its own quiet beauty — snowdrops in January’s pale light, sweet peas in June’s warmth, sunflowers glowing through late summer. My 2026 slim wall calendar gathers these moments together, with a plant photograph and a seasonal quotation for every month.

All the leaves on our ginkgo tree have fallen, carpeting our driveway in sunshine. Also, it took me ages before I could consistently type "ginkgo" correctly, so I am happy to have an excuse to use it today.

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃
