Queen is the name of our beloved dog. I was inspired.

The wrangling of the Emotional Support Chicken has concluded. She has taught me patience, ingenuity, and the value of persistence. I love her and can't wait to gift to a friend who's going in for major surgery in a couple of weeks. Yarn was gifted me by a friend who snagged it at a yard sale. 💕🐥

Queen doesn't understand the hullabaloo

Unrepentant golden retriever covered in sandy dirt sitting in a car. Her tongue is out and her gaze is soft and satisfied.

Heard from activist friend at Lochiel AZ. She's posted up at the first 200+ year old cottonwood that will be destroyed. She has a Yaqui cottonwood drum & is drumming for hours. She tied my knitted prayer tie chain w 100s of prayers around the drum & tree. I feel the love & energy of the drum. 🌿💔🐆🌳

Time for a gift drop off to a friend whose dog has had diarrhea for a week. She needs a laugh. 🦮🤪

My niece is going through old photo albums. Can't remember looking this cool but I'll take it. 1988 at the Shawangunk Mtns near New Paltz NY. 💚🌄

A man and woman looking beautiful overlooking the Hudson River. Sepia tones are very flattering. There's another random guy to the right who also looks era appropriate.

Astounding.

Queen loves watermelon. 7 years ago in Tucson. Listen with sound on to hear the drops of juice hitting the ground. #goldenretriever 🦮🍉💚

Careful what you ask for I guess. Looks like the worst is over for now. ⛈️

Today we picked grape leaves for dolmades. It's a tradition from DH Greek family & it's a joy to do once a year. We'll be wrapping 175 dolmas over the 4th of July. 🍇🌿🇬🇷 PS I accidentally arted. 💚

At Road America for motorcycle races this weekend. Been coming up here 23 years. Weather is the most beautiful we can recall. Oh, & some very good dogs here too. Throwback to 2017 with Queen wearing a track bandana hoping for a bite of bratwurst. 🏍️🦮

Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin today. Would love to go for the dawn chorus sometime. It's way past time to do some paddling into the interior. 🦢💚

Landscape picture of blue open water, a marshy spit with cattails and a blue sky with wispy clouds. The water is very still and reflecting the clouds.

Meh. My MAGA father gives me $100 gift cards to Duluth Trading every Xmas. I'm not keen on them & their quality has declined in recent years. Went to their flagship store in Mt Horeb WI and figured I'd try an expired Moon Cheese. Meh, I say meh.

Andrea Hoerr@awilddre· May 22

I love thrifting.

Deck of playing cards from American Trans Air. Guessing from the 1970s or 1980s?

Top headline on NYT to wake up to. Guess the editors think this is important, as do I. Whatever it takes to break their criminal courage block.

NYT Headline stating In a 'Rarity, Republicans Stand Up To Trump.'

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Grassland any bird pictured with grass.
