Happy birthday to this sweet old man o’ mine. Pasta with meatballs, rosemary focaccia, and this personally-requested peach upside down cake. Made with nectarines 🤷♀️
Tonight’s focaccia. All the toppings except the olives and flaky salt are from the garden: basil, tomatoes, chives, fennel, rosemary ☺️ Post baking photo in comments
When you forget to put your Tasmanian Devil in her crate before you mow 🙄🙄🙄 #bulldog #englishbulldog
Good day’s work in the garden. Planted tomatoes, peppers, onions, peas, potatoes, squash, and still have plants in the greenhouse. Bud break on the grapevines. Bees are buzzing. Beautiful day in the Umpqua River Valley.
Me, on the right, waving my big ol gay flag. Young man, Wolf, asked if he could stand beside me. He stood quietly and held that flag for 2 hours. Asked how to get involved. I gave him info, my card, and told him how important what he did today was. Small, conservative, southern Oregon town. 🥹🥹🥹
Cogburn, Chanticleer, and Goldie. 3 of my handsomest fellows. #peakheathen #pnw
Greens and peas on the stove. This book. This fire. That chair. Green glow of Ducks game on the tv. My entire plan for the day.
Always an exciting day on the farm, when the spring hens begin to lay. How cute are those first tries?
Hey buddy. How ya doin? I know, it’s not working. They’re so mad now. Here’s a thought: LEAN INTO IT. They love it when you’re the big alpha male. Own it. Tell them your testosterone level was higher than anyone has ever seen, and when you showed up at Epstein Island, the women went crazy…
Me, weedeating the backyard. Smarter, not harder, right? #peakheathen #pnw #backyardgoats
I know it’s not rational. I know it’s not feasible. I know it’s not remotely possible. But sweet baby Jesus on a cracker, we need to be 2 countries /1
I wish you peace and freedom. I wish you visibility when you want it, and privacy when you don’t. And to any right-wing transphobes: Fuck off. And when you get to the fence with the sign that reads No Fucking Off Beyond This Point, climb that fence and continue to fuck off into oblivion. 🏳️⚧️
Good morning from the Umpqua Valley. Beauty in spite of the shitshow💔 Support your trans friends. Make America Good Again 😢
