Another abundantly awesome view! All those tiny florets, individual flowers forming the composite head of a #Sunflower. Nature is mesmerizing! #nature #flowers #florets #gardening #synchronicity #pollinators
With a #bookfair coming up soon, I put my art on coffee mugs to go with books, cards and photos. The beach photo was my first book cover, and the red shoes were an oil pastel. Now on #ETSY! #BooksBirdsBeauty #books #indieauthor #shoes #stilettos #giftsforher #marketing #reinvention #inspiration
The circle of florets—or the cosmic trefoil—continues to contract. I’ve never been so fixated on a flower in my life! #flower #sunflowers #nature #pollinators #trefoil #geometry #countdown
The unveiling continues like a slo-motion wave. #sunflower #florets #nature #geometry #bloomscrolling

As the rows of florets edge toward the center, I feel like I’m hovering over a cake in the oven, waiting for it to be “done” #sunflower #gardening #nature #pollinators #flowers #bloomscrolling
I love the “learning history” part of thrift store treasure hunting! To wit, this #Munich salt glaze beer mug featuring the historic #Hofbrauhaus, the iconic #Frauenkirche cathedral, and the Christ-like child on the city’s coat-of-arms. #Germany #beer #stein #travel #cobalt #history #Europe
Joyous and ephemeral bursts of color today on a garden walk. #bloomscrolling #flowers #daylilies #nature #garden
For some reason I thought about weddings this morning, then wedding dresses, then remembered I used a photo of my own for a short story cover. From the long ago past, when I had a waist. #shortstory #fiction #wedding #weddingdress #divorce #imagination www.amazon.com/dp/B009KP4O44

Fair point. The GOP certainly doesn't give a rat's a-- for the Constitution unless it can be used to leverage a result. Likewise, the ordinary mortal worried about rent and groceries understandably prioritizes feeding their kids over parsing the Founders' intentions. www.npr.org/2026/07/29/n...
To win over working-class voters, Democrats need to stop talking about democracy
Working-class voters have moved away from the Democratic Party. Winning them back is key to the party's future, a new reports shows. But first, the messaging has to change.

It'll take a couple of GOP senator's wives connecting the dots between their kids' asthma troubles and the stoves for this to get any traction in the present Congress. #asthma #breathing #gas #gasstoves #fossilfuel #health www.upi.com/Voices/2026/...
Replacing gas stoves with electric stoves greatly reduces asthma symptoms - UPI.com
Cooking on natural gas stoves is an under-recognized and important source of indoor air pollution, creating nitrogen dioxide and other compounds.

A couple dozen Cedar Waxwings played musical chairs in a dead tree this morning, once in a while visiting a nearby birch to pose! #birds #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #cedarwaxwings
