We don’t know who we are, until we understand where we have been. It’s our past that defines who we are today. It’s who we were, that makes us who we are. Embrace it all, the good and bad. Sometimes we stand tall, sometimes we fall. No looking back, only look ahead…

I’ve been getting meds from a Canadian pharmacy because I can’t afford to get it domestically. Yesterday I get an email informing me there will be an additional $30 charged per order to cover tariffs. Who are the morons that actually believe tariffs costs are not passed on to the consumer? Wake up!!

Playing with colors

Irish stew tonight!

I’m calling this one “Evening Glow” 9x12 acrylic

US cities with the highest crime rates: 1) Memphis TN 2) St Louis MO. Both states have Republican governors. You don’t hear Trump talk about sending troops to either place…hmm, wonder why?

Soup season! Homemade bean and ham soup

Don’t mess with us, we have a German shepherd on high alert and ready to attack!

Hate to see summer go, but look forward to the autumn arrival…the in-between time is calming and magical

Just captured this one on my deck this afternoon

A pile of puppies!

These folks are awesome!

The guardian

The face of contentment

On high alert, in case there are creatures from the depths (of a 4 ft pool)

Evening calm quietly surround End of day peaceful sound Time to rest drift off to sleep Put worries behind let go, don’t keep

Artist

Too many non-working holidays? Costing the country billions?

Friday evening on the deck!

Being a child of the 70’s, I don’t know her music…but what I do know is that she has more class in her pinky than Trump has in his entire being. What this idiot doesn’t understand is her following of young people, with one statement she could engage an entire generation of young voters against him

I’m all for balanced reporting and hearing opposing views, that’s responsible journalism. But I refuse to watch CNN as long as they continue to give this MAGA idiot Scott Jennings a platform to defend Trump. www.thewrap.com/scott-jennin...

So I have an old Blessed Mother yard statue I’m trying to bring back to life for my wife. I noticed markings (cracks) on the cheeks that weren’t there when I started working on it. Almost looks like tears, seems appropriate considering the times in which we now live.

My birthday boy! Uno turns 4 today! ❤️

Good lord one sick SOB!

Oh I know that look! 😬

Goodnight my friends…I hope you sleep peacefully with your tongue hanging out

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Privacy? What privacy?!?

Is he really this stupid, and is America really this stupid for electing him? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

You go Melanie!! This is the kind of fire we need in Congress! 🔥 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82cMrFn/

Every day there is another nightmare in broad daylight. Many days, there is more than one. Their intention is to overwhelm us, and we can not let them. #RESIST #UNITE

It’s time to relax, set everything aside, and just sleep!

Some lessons can be learned from the past and could be applied today, if we would just wake up, open our eyes to see, our ears to listen, and our hearts to feel. Instead we choose division, anger, intolerance, and revenge. It doesn’t need to be this way.

I did this little video on trump invoking the alien enemies act

People aren’t just showing up—they’re fired up. The energy is with progressive leaders, not the moderates or corporate puppets.

West Michigan today, still quite a bit of ice on Lake Michigan, but damn!! What a gorgeous day!!
