I joined a local vocal group. They only perform a few times a year and the practice schedule is not too crazy. Finding the bits of joy where I can.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I wish Christmas could be Thanksgiving Part II. I simply want to spend time with family and eat delicious food. No gifts.

JFC, definitely not a movie thing. 🙄

people are going to post AI slop...sometimes they just do not realize it at the time and have the good graces to delete it but if they are told and keep posting it your safest action is just to block them because they will continue to spread it

Oh. my. goodness. 😢

Currently practicing this song for upcoming gig. Relevant. youtu.be/6NXnxTNIWkc?...

This post from Dec. 8, 2024.

Does Canada need science teachers? My son will be graduating spring 2027.

My son is afraid his friends will disappear. This is why.

Looks like I'll be playing my carbon fiber ukulele tomorrow. Rainy day at the farmers market. At least we'll be under a tent.

Was momentarily confused and then I let out a snort-laugh. 😂

This was such a nice moment of seeing this little guy looking at me while I was reading on the deck. #photography #wildlife #deer Goodness, as I was writing this a red-shouldered hawk flew by. I will be on the deck the rest of the day.

Just this evening I watched two videos about emigrating to Canada. More for my two sons than me.

If they only knew...

I hiked over 3.5 miles this morning. The weather was gorgeous. Sunny with highs in the upper 60s. #photography #appalachia #hiking

I just remembered I have a small bag of peanut butter M&Ms in my purse. Probably too early in the morning to eat them though. Or is it?

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I just finished reading a book. Started it this morning. Lark Ascending by Silas House I’m going to have to sit with it for a while. #booksky

I cleaned out the linen closet. That’s enough adulting for today.

"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...

Worst dream last night. I dreamt that my son was arrested for trying to prevent his best friend who is Latino from being taken. They’ve been friends for years. My son was beaten while in custody. I kept telling the officers that I was his mom. It was so real. 😔

Saw a purple #mushroom on my hike earlier today. In fact I saw yellow, orange, red and brown mushrooms as well. #photography

No plans for the first time in a while this weekend. So. I’m going to: Hike Read Play my ukulele Rest Repeat

I’m ready for #fall. Yes, I really am. #photography

What are some good ways to put a bad day behind you… that don’t involve alcohol or drugs? I’ve been reading and watching Taskmaster on YouTube, but when I stop it all comes swooping back into my mind.

Sweet jesus in a manger, today had to be one of the most stressful workdays of my entire life. 😳😳😳😳

On Sunday during a break at work, I sang in the stairwell after making doubly sure nobody was around. I was very surprised by the acoustics!

Have this photo set as my phone wallpaper. Makes me smile every time. 😊

Me waiting to go to work this evening. *sigh*

By the way, this is an excellent video comparing nylon and steel string guitars. Definitely leaning towards nylon. #musicsky

Honestly, I'd rather emigrate, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Lifelong dream though to live abroad. Ever since I was a little girl.

What is the most progressive state in the US and can I move there tomorrow?

Somebody is considering getting a nylon string guitar. That somebody is me. 😂 youtu.be/QtGIVy5tMtU?...

I just saw the phrase “plant parents” in an IG ad. Are you freakin’ kidding me?!?

I want to go on a vacation. I need to go on a vacation. But I'm overwhelmed by the idea of planning a vacation.

Things not to do when you’re tired: Cut your own bangs. ✂️😳🤦🏻‍♀️😟

The good news is that I can definitely carry a tune. Have to work on being less “breathy” though. She gave me voice exercises to do every day. 😊

Had a dream that there were a couple of black bears in my bed. I was so tired, even in my dream, that I told them, “as long as you’re quiet, you can stay.” 🥱🐻🐻 🛏️

Si del cielo te caen limones... Si el piso te viene con ojos...

Playing around with a picking pattern on my banjo ukulele for Wayfaring Stranger. It just kind of happened organically. Wrote it down so I wouldn't forget, but I don't think I will. #musicsky youtu.be/Ti-FtTz8t5U?...

I had never of heard her until I listened to the latest episode of Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me with @petersagal.bsky.social What a beautiful voice. youtu.be/avjI3_GIZBw?...
