#BlueSkyArtShow #Growing Here's an original song (music is art, yes?) about growing: Letting Go youtu.be/b12hxx0uGWY?... AND this photo of our ever- #growing back yard/jungle--a slice of heaven at a confluence of communities where highway noise and forest sounds compete for dominance!

A heavily overgrown creekside shows muddy brown water surrounded by a jungle of green growth--from ground cover to trees that reach over the creek to almost connect with the trees on the other side. The small hole in the scene--between the tops of the touching trees and the smaller ones further afield--showcases a pale blue sky smothered in pink cotton-candy clouds lightly illuminated by the setting sun. The entire scene is lush and lovely...reminiscent of a Maxfield Parrish painting...but REAL LIFE beauty!

I feel as if I'm right on the trail with Mr. Steffanos and his occasional companions! This very-approachable book is well-written, scenic-ly descriptive without being boring, and includes many chuckle-worthy moments. Would recommend!

I love this song...and I love what you do for your neighborhood. Thank you. Because I, too, love our country, I wrote a contemporary version of Woody's song. (It comes in at 2:02:00 of this 3-hour video: www.youtube.com/live/CcH--m3... )

I've been playing concerts to deer in the woods... ...to mixed reviews. (Yes, I'm completely serious. It's been an absolutely riveting experiment!)

Scumbelina@xnrock· Jun 20

Since June began, I've had: - a peacock on my car! - 4 fox sightings - 3 deer stay for impromptu concerts - a rainbow sighting - a falling star sighting, AND - THIS fortune: (Surely SOMETHING good is around the corner...!)

Scumbelina@xnrock· Jun 11

Um...y'all...I don't want to give you too much hope...but I got this at lunch early last week. Then, later that same trip, I saw a falling star as I sat in a field. For those who believe in signs and portents...get ready...

A square canopy features cascading colored lights amongst a field at night. Stars can be seen in the distance.

A bright white moon rises among leaves of a tree.

A person in the distance plays with a large sparkler amid the smokey night air surrounding a bonfire.

Happily received, and 'hugged back' by these adorable little piggy faces!

Three tan or black long-haired piggies cluster at a fence, hoping the photographer will toss food their way. (She did!!)

So...who had "Peacock on My Car" on their 2026 bingo card? (Big thx to @heavydishongry.bsky.social for spotting it!)

Scumbelina@xnrock· May 27

Did you know you can rent (and Captain!) canal boats for multi-day voyages? We did that!!

Funny you should mention that...

Trump's terrified head is superimposed on a fake movie poster for the movie, "Get Out." The White House is shown in the background, sporting its historic rainbow light pattern from the Obama administration. The 'poster' reads, "Just because you're invited doesn't mean you're welcome." Writing and directing credits are printed below, and are attributed to America's Voters.

Boy, Spellcheck *really* doesn't like German...

He dresses like Barbie. (Anyone remember Little Annie Fanny? He's like the male version. "Oopsie! My buttons are popping!!") Those buttons and seams of his are doing some real heavy lifting...

It's not Red-vs-Blue. We distill down to Cooperators-vs-Competitors. Cooperators want to do the most good, for the most people; Competitors face life as if they alone matter. It's the party of US-vs-the party of ME. One empowers & protects the community; the other cares only about self. Which R U?

Three cats--two orange, one gray--share a burgundy cushion atop a computer chair with a blue sweater hanging off the back. They are all looking at the camera.

Well, THIS sounds like a fun dose of reality (for the READER, *not* the protagonist!)! Some might call this karma... @plotlesspodcast.bsky.social

Scumbelina@xnrock· Apr 19

Saw this and thought of you...

Scumbelina@xnrock· Apr 11

A friend recently sent me this. I think the cat approves.

An orange cat looks up from its place on the ground as a person in an outdoor chair holds Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle", a book with a sky-blue jacket.

Scumbelina@xnrock· Apr 9

Well, this is my Idea Man. He whispers to me the evil things I'm to do next...

An orange cat stares at the camera, waiting for his picture to be taken. He did not have to wait long.

If you see this, i implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

THIS design is called Suave MF. I find it quite 'suit'-able...!

Scumbelina@xnrock· Mar 31

So...I'm going to be a guest on @plotlesspodcast.bsky.social this week! Our hosts are two women with a novel passion, bringing us along on their journey. I'll talk about songwriting while *trying* to be relevant to their audience of prose and poetry writers. Gulp! I'll post the link once it's live.

I see your Woody Guthrie and raise you a set of contemporary lyrics:

Scumbelina@xnrock· Feb 20

Fixed it!

Scumbelina@xnrock· Feb 17

Bring it! But if they start posting as their own accounts and want to follow me, I'm going to have to block them...

Scumbelina@xnrock· Feb 13

Glad to see you taking the gloves off, John. Folks in your position are always forced onto such a narrow line...with haters on both sides criticizing you're 'too nice' or 'using crude language'. The Church is dying from MOR disease. Thx for always speaking out. Photos: Wild Goose 2019 (free to use)

"Don't worry, Cricket! Did you hear the good news about the stock market?? I'm just gonna celebrate by shootin' off my gun. Watch this...!"

I ran into this person one year, waiting in line to vote. Spot on!
