good morning

crude doodle I found in one of my 3000 piles of doodles

2 people drinking hot beverages in the morning

Wild Hair: (annoyed and raring) Headlights used to be glass and they didn't yellow. Now it's all this plastic fucking shit.
Spiky Hair: (half asleep) mm-hm...

Wild: (leaning in to touch heads) I love you <3
Spiky: (smiling, possibly falling asleep again) ~~~<3

What a day.

Sweet potatoes with eyes so far sprouted they've become multiple hands and feets.

A chorus of tiny peeps today from the nest 👀 Not much to see as I couldn't get very close; Sir Wren quite upset at my audacity! Hopefully some better pics another time.

Never let it be said that I can't take a horrible photo of a bunch of sticks poking from the eaves.

The house wrens are back! and they're not taking anybody's shit

Tiny bird on a fence post, a stance of defiance. Defensance. Definiance. Defenati-- Listen, just don't fuck with a wren.

Howard Zinn: "To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something.

"If we remember those times and places–and there are so many–where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

"And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

TRUNDLES VISITED AGAIN!!! We were just eating lunch on the front step and she (I have decreed 'she') was just THERE. eating her acorn lunch too!! 🥹

Somehow it is snowing again and there is a black hole in the back yard.

A porcupine (presumably named Trundles) clings to the branch of a small sagging pine tree. Fortunately Trundles regularly eats pine needles and bark. (photo mine)

J P Brammer: "Despite what it might feel like, the future remains malleable. Indeed, every potential future is a frail and unlikely thing. Some are more likely than others, but the one we end up in is the one we breathe life into. What we must do, what I believe we were put here to do, is to breathe life into the world we want to see, to commit ourselves to it, to resolve to walk in it, to live in it, to build it. There are things worth living for, and these things are bigger than ourselves, bigger than any one person. My advice is to find people who agree, and join your breath to theirs."
