#GardenSky I built a wall around my overgrown potatoes, in hope of planting some carrots in the exposed soil. The beans and eggplants are setting on & the zucchinis are producing well! Amie built a fountain for fun soundscape too. The tomato forest is restoring our faith in the space we grow them.

Enjoyed a first time experience this past week with my family, entering a natural cave (a lava tube) known as Ape Cave in Washington near Mt. St. Helens. It was chilly, dark and we were surrounded with fascinating geological formations. We even saw a unique bug only found in caves here!

Grief. Not talked about enough in our culture. The pain of loss doesn’t follow predictable patterns or rigid guidelines and timelines. Sometimes it catches you in an otherwise mundane moment or while you are busy tending to the living. This week, remembrance found me in the blossoms of a red poppy.

#gardening Was going to share some photos of ‘flowers in my garden’, and found a bonus surprise: Tomatoes set on already!

Spending time with a dear friend this Memorial Day and saw this growing in the garden:

So enamored by the success of our Purple Peruvian Potatoes this year! We received a few seed potatoes at a local Farmer’s Market a couple years ago, saw limited results our first year, and they are growing dramatically this year! #gardening #farmersmarket #pnwgardens

Just finished @travisbaldree.bsky.social ‘s third book and find myself wanting even more! If you happened upon Legends & Lattes (I found a copy in a local free little library a few years ago), you know Viv. Then perhaps you met Fern in Bookshops & Bonedust? They meet again, then adventure whisks in.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve always enjoyed catching sight of these tiny wildflowers - Pacific Starflower. Imagine my surprise when I noticed them today on my Seattle neighborhood!

“Can the singer enter into his tale or the designer into his picture?” What a beautiful way to ask about the concept of God drawn near, not just as a baby born in Bethlehem, but also as One who brought healing in his time and in ours. Thanks for this @tolkienwonder.bsky.social ! ❤️

The Wonder of Tolkien@tolkienwonder.bsky.social · 5mo ago

We all feel it, the sense that this is not how things are supposed to be in the world. #Tolkien felt it too, and he embedded the hope inside his story.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Reminiscing of a trip over 10 years ago to visit Ireland, with stops at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the Guinness Factory in Dublin.

Mid-March surprise late winter only snow of the season in Seattle!

If you have a chance to see The Notebook, The Musical, with music and lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson - go! Midway through at The Paramount Theater Seattle and loving it. Pack your tissues, it’s a ride with highs and lows!

U2 became the latest high-powered musical act to condemn the federal immigration raids with the surprise release Wednesday of a six-track EP that kicks off with a song for Renee Good. www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

U2 releases Renee Good tribute song 'American Obituary'

"These songs were impatient to be out in the world," singer Bono said of the band's surprise new EP, "Days of Ash."

Corporate media executives are selling out the First Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians. This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture — the kind that comes from the top. The real fight in this country is not left vs right; it’s top vs bottom.

U2 released “Days of Ash” EP today. Read the stories and find links to lyric videos of the resistance songs here: propaganda.u2.com

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

@fathernathan.bsky.social I was pointed to your substack today and Oomph! It resonates. fathernathan.substack.com/p/when-they-...

When they struck down Alex Pretti my own life flashed before my eyes and how easily that could have been me

I was newly ordained, and our church ran a small outreach program that provided food to folks living on the streets.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. 1/
