I also found solace in nature today in Upstate New York.

What a beautiful day in lovely Upstate New York!

Upstate New York is a lovely place.

If you ever visit New York state, go to Green Lakes State Park near Syracuse.

Bo says hi.

I visit Watkins Glen at least once a year and never tire of the beautiful views.

Rescue dogs are the best friends you'll ever have. Here's my best friend adopted six years ago: Buddy.

Here are some more creative signs from my local No Kings rally in my little corner of Upstate New York.

Aidan agrees with you. He's one of my two beautiful black cats.

Hundreds of folks showed up in my little corner of Upstate New York for No Kings. I'm always amazed at the creativity of my fellow protesters.

Buddy wishes you a happy birthday.

This is Green Lakes State Park near Syracuse, NY. The park actually has two lakes: Green and Round Lakes.

My crocuses are out here in Upstate New York.

My Buddy was glad to hear the news of Noem's firing, too. It's a victory for dogs over the evil puppy killer.
