A poem: My kitchen window is dirty But these morning glories are purty.
Since they're calling for wind & hail tonight, I want to share evidence that things are blooming in my yard: a big lantana, my pomegranate tree, a couple of coneflowers (though they look sad), and my chili pequin plant (which is actually in a pot on my porch.) Not pictured: potted jalapeño plants
Things have been grim today. Here's my cat Francesca as a palate cleanser.
Today was the Just For Fun Parade. It was, as advertised, fun!! Live band, bubbles, great costumes. Spectators were throwing beads at us, I met a woman named Carondelet -- after the street in New Orleans -- and we confused quite a few ppl. Comfort the disturbed, disturb the comfortable!
The whole staff of a local sandwich shop quit because of continued abusive treatment from one of the owners. I stand in solidarity, even though I will never have my favorite sandwich again.
I was born and raised here, but today I became just a little more Texan.
In non-social justice news, I have a bag of locally-milled buckwheat flour and a mini waffle maker I got at a Goodwill in New Orleans. I'm unstoppable!
Went to a gorgeous church in New Orleans, St. Anna's Episcopal, this past Sunday. There was a brown baby Jesus. The service was great.
Home from NOLA. It was great. Didn't get to do everything, but got to do plenty of the unexpected. Hats off to this sexy taco on Carrollton and the sign forbidding ICE access beside it.
I don't know what this is supposed to mean but it looks like "Open bottle, take drugs, eat macarons."
Having a li'l Dustbowl Sampler in Central Texas today with wind damage & grass fires & this ... #txwx
The boyfriend and I have had a great time in West Texas. The stargazing was unbelievable. Here's Venus.
When you're at the riverside and there's a black dog 6 hours before you go see a Led Zeppelin documentary
Gawd, are the Dems good for anything other than sending fundraising emails? Has anybody read the fucking Constitution lately? Anyway here's my adorable kitten looking like she, too, is fucking fed up ...
Deploying the stockpile of kitten pics as timeline cleanses for y'all
There was a flock of robins in my yard earlier, taking advantage of the water and bird seed I left out to help some little critters before the sleet/graupel/snow starts
