It's hotter than hell here and will be until Sunday or Monday. It's Frozen Chi Chi* time. *A Pina Colada where vodka is used instead of rum. Cuts way down on the sweetness. Always yummy. Come on over and enjoy a beverage! 🍹🧉🍜 #HotHotHot

Growing up in Eastern MA, everyone you knew was either Irish, Italian or a combination of both. Once you leave this area, the change is quite significant.

A very stormy day here yesterday. High winds brought down trees, limbs and leaves all day. A meteor exploded over northeast MA right in the middle of the storm. There was a loud explosion and the house shook for 5 - 10 seconds. I thought a tree had come down on the house. 😳

Last week, a friend and I did a Warbler Walk with Audubon. We went through a heavily wooded area and came across these beauties! Look, but don't touch! They're protected. #PinkLadiesSlippers #Spring

Sunrise in The Bronx.

95° here today. It appears everyone had the same plan. #BeachDay

Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms, sisters, aunties, nonas, best friends, bonus moms, Godmothers, teachers, nurses, caretakers of the earth. To all of the women who nurture; who provide a safe space. Thank you for showing us all what unconditional love looks like. #MothersDay

This pretty, little Indigo Bunting has been hanging out in my yard. I think he is nesting close by. He's not shy! #birds #nature 🐧🪶

A full moon on Beltane. Today is the midpoint between spring and summer. Blessed Beltane to all!

Old Man's Beard is a lichen that I sometimes find covering trees around here. I found these today. #Lichen #Nature #Woodlands

Eggs in a Vernal Pool. Let's see what hatches out.

Earth Day, 2026. Blue and green, the colors of life. Love your Mother.

Patriots Day and The Boston Marathon. My nephew is running and the Sox should be in their Marathon unis; blue and yellow. The duckies are ready!

I went to a Mosaic workshop on Friday. I passed by The Old North Church which had 2 lanterns hanging in its steeple commemorating "two if by sea" 251 yrs ago. While at the workshop, I made this little bowl.

My nephew and one of my nieces came over yesterday to learn how to make Italian sweet bread traditionally made at Easter. The torch has been passed. Buona Pasqua a tutti! 🐇🪺

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate! Hope springs eternal. ⚾️ #OpeningDay #Baseball #Let'sGo

At the florist today. #signs

The extended forecast calls for the continued above normal temps. Hell isn't receding. It's organizing. #ClimateChange

Ostara Blessings to all.

Congratulations Venezuela!!! And thank you, Team Italia, for being so wonderful. You fellas know how to play baseball right -- with joy and kisses and pride that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Lock him up for the next 10 years. ⚾️ @redsox.com

He's levitating.

Forza Italia! 🇮🇹🤌

Morning all… This is my best shot yet of our galactic neighbour. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the nearest major spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, located about 2.5 million light-years away. So in this photo, we are seeing the Andromeda galaxy as it was 2.5 million years ago.

Happy Pi Day to all! Let your nerdy self shine! How can you not be romantic about baseball? #PiDay #MathIsCool #GeeksUnite #BaseballIsNotBoring

On the way into the big city on Sunday.

🤌

It's absolutely beautiful out there this morning with everything covered in ice. Spectacular to look at but not to drive in.

Sums it up quite nicely.

This thing has an eye and it's spinning. Winter hurricane. I dug out the generator and the snow isn't heavy. That means it's blowing around as it falls and filling everything back in. Driveways been plowed twice. Stay warm and safe!

A Saw Whet Owl who was probably migrating through, since it hasn't been seen since.I also saw this juvenile Bald Eagle on the marsh. Fri, I finally got a photo of the Chestnut-Collard Longspur spending the winter here, far from its home.It only took me 3 days.All photos taken at an ethical distance.

Lots of good energy out there this evening...Lunar New Year, a New Moon, Shrove Tuesday, the first day of Ramadan. We've left behind that which no longer serves us. Now we harness the energy to move toward new beginnings leaving fear behind.

Look around today and understand how very loved you are. 💝❤️ #ValentinesDay #Galentines

I was too busy looking at Pedro and missed the shout out to MLB. #Acuña

The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

Super Bowl Sunday or Superb Owl Sunday? I'll stick with the owls. Taken at an ethical distance. #SuperbOwlSunday #EthicalBirding

Happy Truck Day to all who celebrate! ⚾️ Statistically, Boston reached it's lowest temperatures of the year last week. More daylight, warmer days and the hope that a new baseball season brings. #baseball #TruckDay #RedSox #DirtyWater

Full moon at sunset. The moonrise was through low clouds but the real show was behind us. #moonrise #sunset #SnowMoon

Reading the news today and decided to kiss Dry January goodbye a bit early. America, we deserve better.

"But lines have become unmistakable, and I think history might judge silence as complicity at this critical inflection point." "And if those who claim to be the law are permitted to kill without consequence, then the law no longer governs them — and soon, it will no longer protect anyone."

Yesterday afternoon at the florist.
