@fpwellman.bsky.social Congrats on the win, Fred. On to November!

It's so great each year when the butterflies return to my garden. #butterflies #nature

Does anyone know where/when protests are taking place this Sunday in the St. Louis region? #stlouisprotest #nokings #flagdayprotest #stlouis

There is no word in the English language to adequately describe the anger and frustration and disbelief that Americans are feeling….

Quilt progress. I love how these fabrics are working together. Spike and Sweetums have come to supervise my work, so progress has slowed a bit. #quilts #cats #crafts

While cleaning out my uncle's home to sell, I collected all the cotton sheets, shirts and pjs from his home in order to make a quilt. Starching and ironing on my grandma's ironing board really connected me to the generations of ironing while watching their "stories" #quilts #crafts #sewing

Kitty update at 1 year old. #cats #catsofbluesky

Should I be worried? The kittens were left alone and I think a serious brawl happened. Spike seems to have armed himself. Feral again, with weapons? #cats #catsofbluesky

I am experiencing technical difficulties starting at crossstitch. Both kittens, Spike and Sweetums, immediately claimed the hoop as the best place to sit in the whole house. #catsofbluesky #cats

With life beating the hell out of me right now, this tiny menace named Spike gives me giggles. #catsofbluesky #cats

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov Funding more and better training only sinks more money into an evil group of strongmen happily violating the law. Do not appropriate any more funding to this disgraceful private army. It must be deeply reformed or eliminated.

Does anyone know where I can get simple instructions for left handed crochet stitches that are in writing? I suck at learning from youtube videos. #crochet #yarn

Sweetums has taken to bringing a piece of quilting fabric upstairs each night. #catsofbluesky #cats #sewing #quilts

I finished a dress for my grandbaby for Christmas. First time I've tackled clothing. All my previous work was quilt tops. I hope it fits her! #sewing #crafts #homemade

MO peeps, Were you all getting texts from the Republicans providing instructions how to remove your name from the Missouri redistricting petition? #MO #redistricting #republicantricks

I have to give this 7 month old kitty hellion, who is all flailing knives, eye drops and oral meds by myself. I expect this 5 pound ninja will murder me in my sleep in revenge. #cats #catsofbluesky

Meet my new babies, Gonzo and Sweetums. It's been a long time since I had insane kitty energy in my home. 🤪

My new kitties were just introduced 24 hours ago. #cats #catsofbluesky

The best time to watch birds, squirrels and chipmunks is right after the feeder is refilled. #nature #pets #birdwatching

I will be so sad when this little guy moves on. I planted this new garden spot this spring, and enjoy watching his visit every day. #hummingbirds #birds #nature

I have to say goodbye to my sweet girl Eartha Kitty tomorrow and my heart is breaking. She had the chance for one last time to rest on the deck today and get some sun. She's been with me 15 + years. 💔 #cats

An exceptionally dark 4th of July this year. I am rapidly losing my relative “optimism” about the short-term future of U.S. democracy and society. Perhaps the most depressing part is that it is being dismantled so easily by a rather incompetent force.

No Independence Day celebration for me today. I'm going to watch dinosaurs eat people alive. Oh wait, I've been watching that for 6 months. #resist #4thofjuly

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill, 37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare. 27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance. 578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

Does anyone ever get a call thru to Hawley or Schmitt's office? I am constantly screaming desperation into the voicemail void. #hawley #senate #mo #stopthebill #aargh

I just finished the quilt top for my granddaughter. This was so much fun to create. #quiltsky #quilts
