Here's are some very cute newts from my back yard to try and soften your stance.

Grateful to have something else to celebrate today in lieu of this shit show. Wishing my mom (87) and Dad (90) a very Happy 66th wedding anniversary today!! Feeling blessed.

This is Linus. He's a sun dog but not a huge fan of this heat wave. Needs a splash pad I think.

This old girl turned 13 today! We have said what we thought were our final goodbyes to her three times in the last two years due to seizures, so feeling incredibly grateful that she's still with us today. Happy birthday, Lucy! #ShareGoodNewsToo

Hard to beat a hike with just my dogs, but I'll take an extra long hike with either or both of my adult children any day. Our conversations while walking in the woods together are some of my most treasured memories. Have been their entire lives. Now I love short hikes with my grandkids exploring! ❤️

That's great news! My news is small. I have a very cute visitor hanging out on my screen house. Weirdly calm. Let me touch its feet. Or am I the weirdo for wanting to touch its feet? Been hanging out about ten minutes while I drink my tea. A strange but good way to start my day. #sharegoodnewstoo

Every day is #EarthDay 💚 Missing Dr. Jane @janegoodallcan.bsky.social today.

The snowy silence was welcomed this morning, and it's pretty and all, but enough already.

A silent, snowy morning. April in Massachusetts, as always, unpredictable.

This was my second winter in a row being sidelined by foot surgeries, and today I reached my goal of being physically able to protest #NoKings on a local overpass. I went alone, had to walk a ways to get there, and only lasted 40 minutes, but it was very good medicine. #NoKings #Resist

Some of my favorite escapes into the forest in honor of International Day of Forests. Long may they live. #Nature

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Linus always loves the snow! ❄️

Some beauty to counter all of the ugliness. Dreaming of spring. 💐

A bright, white trillium found in the forest is always a sight for sore eyes. Counting down the days.

A plump, pink Lady slipper emerging from the forest floor. Counting down the days.

Random violet offerings. Purple poetry to welcome spring. Counting down the days.

A vivid neon green and dark chocolate brown striped jack-in-the-pulpit. A silent spring sermon to be treasured. Counting down the days.

Found this gem at a library near me. My grandsons are Wild about it!

Thanks for the recommendation. Hooked a few minutes into the 1st episode. A welcome distraction from the horror show. It's been 30 days since I last walked and I needed a break from climbing the walls. Sorry if this is too graphic. Feeling sorry for myself because I can't be in the streets marching.

"Bearing witness is a principle of Doctors Without Borders, no matter where we work,” she said. “If the descriptions of what our teams witness, see with their own eyes — the widespread destruction of the Gaza Strip, the wounded people, the spread of diseases as a result of the destruction of basic infrastructure, death, and the human consequences of genocidal violence — are unpalatable to some, the fault lies with those committing the atrocities, not with those who speak of them.”

Wanted to share some of my thriving community...

This was taken in May 2020 during COVID. We made it through that and we'll make it through this. At least I hope so.

On this winter solstice, be the light in the dark. #WinterSolstice

This cold moon is pretty cool. #Supermoon

I've never even eaten a turnip, but wanted to try growing something new for #Thanksgiving dinner this year. Not a bad harvest for a late summer planting, but no good ideas what to do with them. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Forest Goddess@a-reynolds· Nov 13

My grandsons holding hands during our entire hike yesterday, was also a good thing!

Forest Goddess@a-reynolds· Nov 9

Finished this in one go this morning, then took my dogs for a hike where they flushed a grouse only a couple of ft from me. I was as startled by it as I am when I write a good sentence, or even better, a great paragraph. Thanks for the Gentle Writing Advice @chuckwendig.bsky.social Much appreciated.
