Amazing sunset driving home from work today, outside Raleigh North Carolina.

MISSING DOG! This is Hoover, he belongs to my wife’s nephew and he went missing Saturday night 8/1 from a very small town, Andes, NY. He has a leash attached so may have gotten stuck. Neutered and microchipped. They’re frantic to find him, please repost. #LostDog #LabRescue #Dogs #Hoover

It’s been 2 1/2 months since I hugged this girl for the last time. Today I found her old heartworm prevention and realized I have to donate it, can’t wrap it in cheese for her anymore. Crying all over again. Taking grief as it comes. #DogsAreFamily

We’ve been in a drought for weeks, got one good overnight rain and this bizarre mushroom literally showed up on our walkway overnight. Like an alien invasion. I’d better pull it before it walks in the front door. #Mushrooms #Nature #Plants

This is delicious (smooth and flavorful and I’m picky about coffee), supports conservation and sustainability, comes in a wide variety of flavors and the bags are gorgeous. Great cause, great gift! Just sharing. www.anglerscoffee.com #Fishing #SaveThePlanet #Conservation #CoffeeLovers #Coffee

I hear there were soldiers in formation at the Raleigh airport, just a guess but perhaps Sgt. Michael Swinton is coming home to North Carolina. Wherever his body may be, RIP and our hearts are with the family. #IranWar

Shared by a friend, and I agree!

Who says you can’t teach an old dog new games? My first time playing today (some friends gathered to teach us newbies) and sure enjoyed learning. The app is entertaining but hands on was the best.

@georginadoodles.bsky.social Our cardinals brighten and inspire my day every morning with their saucy, resilient, beautiful personalities! Frame sizing for us is tricky (prints not standard US inches) but I got a custom mat and affordable regular frame online. Thank you so much! #art #watercolors

I’m exhausted tonight but this was worth putting some sentences together to oppose this obscene project. We begin to die when we become silent about things that matter. It’s easy to comment, just click link. Screenshot of what I said is attached. #EarthMatters #SaveOurForests #ClimateEmergency

Did you guys see this headline from the AP? Republicans cut federal subsidies to help people pay for health care and MILLIONS have had to drop their coverage, premiums have doubled or tripled. Meanwhile we blow billions on wars and all the other Republican rot. We’re ruled by evil people.

Grateful for love. #HappyPride #LoveIsLove

You can develop the severe allergy to red meat by being bitten by chiggers. It doesn’t have to be ticks. That’s my PSA. Wish I had known, would have been even more careful while gardening. #Alpha-gal

Brad Pitt as Achilles in Troy.

Next week in coordination with the community our amazing church is having a Pride Sunday service (and I get to play drums and sing an original song). YouTube 10 am livestream like every week. God loves and welcomes us, friends. Am so #grateful to be here. #HappyPride

Some denominations just get less like Jesus and more like misogynists every day. #BaptistBan

Been working hard in our yard since spring and in spite of tons of protection have lots of #chigger bites. Now apparently have the red meat #allergy, didn’t know chiggers carry it. Getting tested tomorrow. Very bummed. #gardening

Rest in peace so deeply loved, Murray. You can catch a chipmunk and not even hurt it.

We lost our old dog on May 13. Wife was going to donate her old big dog bed. I hugged the bed today, smelled Darla’s fur on it and nope. Bed can stay in my bedroom just fine for whenever I need a Darla hug from beyond. #DogsAreFamily

Happy Pride month from my girl Darla (last year), now over the rainbow bridge herself and so dearly missed. Like so many #Dogs she exemplified love. We should all be so kind. #HappyPride

In honor of #Caturday may I present Hamilton, our handsome cross eyed boy.

Was just thinking of starting a new book tonight and up pops this new little gem of a novella (54 pages) published a week ago by my favorite Queen of Horror #cheriepriest! WOOO HOOO! Am so sure it’s deliciously creepy, can’t wait.

This is good, I would have been so disappointed in her if she had performed for those goons.

This is our dog Murphy. He’s almost 15 now and yeah we know he’s old but we just found out he has a mass in his chest and may be on a shorter way home. Just lost our other dog two weeks ago so we’re already blue. Prayers/good wishes appreciated, we just don’t want him to suffer, of course. #Dogs

First #kayakfishing catch and release from the big lake near where we now live. Was going for bass but considering it was very cold and pouring rain, I’ll take it! A slow day of fishing is better than any day of work.

What a beautiful dog, am so sorry you’re going through this. Lost my girl three days ago, she was in my arms with a belly full of treats, happy and loved beyond words. Somewhere they are free and frolicking and waiting for us. 💔

Had to send our old rescued girl over the rainbow bridge yesterday. She went peacefully with my arms around her and a belly full of treats. Her love was everything and I am hollow without her. Hold your kids close. #DogsAreFamily

Some birds are trying to decide if they can nest in our front door wreath. Our cat Hamilton says GO FOR IT! #catsofbluesky #birds #cats

We got trapped in the house all afternoon yesterday because this sweet girl was digging multiple nests for her eggs right next to the driveway and we didn’t want to scare her with the car. #turtles
