BEEP BEEP VROOM 🌵🏍️💚

Tennis ball hail forecast in southern WI. I got caught out in a hail storm some years back. 2" ice balls and dang they hurt. Cannot imagine.

I puked. For some reason this year feels more fraught than the prior 20+. Perhaps it's the over arching freakout about "things."

DH just headed out for a 10 day motorcycle trip. Queen wanted to ride with him. 🦮🏍️💚🌵

English is a language rich with words. Why oh why do so many series/movies reuse the same ones over & over? Example #1: The Ethan Hawke series The Lowdown is not the same as the movie Down Low. Oh well - we're still watching it.

Wondering if weaving a cattail reed hat will be my summer project.

Dog park stories: I met a guy with 2 Golden Retrievers. 2 year old brother & sister. Their names? Chick and Magnet.🦮🎾

Race restrictions on neighborhood covenants are still on the books in dozens of neighborhoods in Tucson. San Clemente just removed theirs -about time! 🌵 www.kgun9.com/news/communi...

Miso soup in the morning anyone?

Certified Interpretive Guide training starts in 5! Will be 3 Saturdays of 6 hour online learning with a 4th Saturday for our presentations. Let's GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 🌵🏕️🐛

Auspicious start to the day! Was walking & spotted a bird in the street. It was a baby cactus wren (I think). I picked it up in both hands and warmed it. Placed it near some mesquite. Went back 10 mins later and nowhere to be seen. 1/2

@banditelli.org is missing out on the Southern Arizona bird action!

As people in my community are released from ICE detention due to fucking shitty fucking horrific bullshit flimsy rationales, how do we mend their trust and spirit? How do we mend ourselves?

Highjacked or hijacked?

Exhausted but still trying 🌵💚

Why do I bother putting a pithy subject line together in an email when no one reads it?

I am so exhausted and furious by the existential threats that are thrown out casually by the psychopaths running this country.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying a pair of Hooded Orioles in my backyard. Desperately clinging to things that remind me to find joy. 🦜🧡🌵

Turning on my competitive self is akin to giving my dog a training treat.

Playing the new Crossplay from the NYT with a friend and my competitiveness is quite something. Trying to just have "fun" but srsly ....

Easter is over. Time to redecorate. 💩🐇

How should I as a non Christian respond to people greeting my with 'He is Risen?' Want to be respectful but not get sucked in to a conversation about something that doesn't make any sense to me. 🤷‍♀️

Hubs and I spanked the computer tonight.

Admitted on a training session that I'm feeling raggedy.

Roadrunner pair mating at Sabino Canyon today. 🌵💚🪶

The damn is about to break.

Border wall construction has started in the Patagonias near Kino Springs. They are digging trenches to install panels, clearing the border road and making it more than100 ft wide. As of today, they are also installing border wall infrastructure in the Atascosas and Pajaritas. It's brutal. #NoAlMuro

Virga are in the forecast for today.

Urban cowboy camping

After the sprinkles moved through the desert turned soft and inviting.🌵🏜️

I may have exclaimed 'FUCK YOU' when diving into headlines just now.

Decided to depart an activist group I've been a part of for over 4 years. It's a wrenching decision. Per Brit "Red" Schulte in 'Read This When Things Fall Apart. Letters to Activists in Crisis. "You have to move at the speed of trust. That will likely feel slower than you desire to act."

Intersecting Venn diagram of sorrow.

Curve billed thrasher in my backyard singing its heart out. 🪶💚

Breaking a mason jar with chicken broth was how I wanted to start the day. Floors are nice and clean now tho so winning I guess.

Dark Winds S4e1 had a landscape montage that included saguaros. In northern Arizona. I'm not usually prone to nitpicking like this, but c'mon.

Manual teeth brushing is more grounding than using an electric toothbrush. Follow me for more pro tips!

I bring you Greek Easter Eggs. I adore them and they always have such interesting variations. Onion skins are magic.

Making Greek Easter eggs for next weekend. It's been a few years since I've done this. I'll post the results in a couple of hours. The color is unparalleled by using onion skins instead of chemical dye. 🇬🇷❤️

Scored a new tshirt at the #NoKings rally today. Fuck ICE in Ocotillo font!

My next door neighbor and I text each other during the dawn chorus to squee about who's singing. 🐣💚

Apologizing to the dishwasher for opening it up mid cycle LOL WUT?

Mood.

Anyone just want to scream at the felonious admin, tech bros and right-wing influencers to SHUT THE FUCK UP!??

We still have data right? Give me that over 'recent memory' FFS. #maui

'Did you just fart?' I asked my dog while unmuted on a Zoom call.
