Today’s effort. It’s missing something, but I’m not sure what it is yet. Maybe something in the foreground on the right. #art #painting #Vermont

Today’s effort. #art #painting

Know what would have been a good idea at the National State Fair at the Mall? Misting stations, free water. My mind just boggles at the ineptitude. About as much planning as went into the Iran War.

Good Morning From The Drummer, My Friends.

How 4th of July is done. Have fun Boston! 🎆

No kings since July 4, 1776!! Let’s keep it that way. #July4th

Hot enough for ya?

My calendar painting for July. #Vermont #art

My post card painting for this year’s Postcard Art Exhibit @paeartforacause.bsky.social in the Netherlands is still available to purchase! Proceeds go to help those with Alzheimer’s. Many others available too! All only 45 USD. www.postcardartexhibit.com/product-page... #art #postcardartexhibit

So the 250 celebration I envisioned was actually planned, but Trump hijacked it & made it about himself. Of course! www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Storm’s coming. #Vermont

Got some good news!

Basically birthright citizenship is how this country was built.

We have birthright citizenship!! 🇺🇸

If you want a National State Fair, You want the best each state has to offer - food, music, tractor pulls. That way you get variety & pride. Food is cheap & subsidized so people can try different things. There’s agriculture & pies. Lots of pies. Lots of rides. A celebration of America. Jeesh!

I miss the great American tradition of not thinking about the president constantly.

My begonia showing off. #Vermont

The metaphor that keeps on giving. #ReflectingPool Everything he touches turns to slime. Holding America hostage.

Everything’s coming up roses. 🌹 #Vermont

A lovely day to hang out on the porch. #Monday #Vermont

Happy Father's Day 🖤

Dinner & a book. #SaturdayNight #Vermont

I didn’t know that unconditional surrender required that you pay the “loser” hundreds of billions of $.

Trump is incapable of admitting a loss, ex. 2020 election, this horrendous Iran deal. This inability is incredibly dangerous for the country bc he sees any deal he makes as a great deal. No perspective, no reality.

The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening! Tune in today on Obama.org starting at 11am CT as Michelle and I share what this moment means to us and celebrate with friends, family, and members of the community in Chicago.

Read Mary Trump’s book about the Trump family & Donald & it explains a lot. All of what Trump has done in his 2nd term is true to form.

A happy #Bloomsday to all! Hear Joyce reading from Ulysses and Finnegans Wake in two rare recordings from the 1920s: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/james-joyce-reading-his-work-1924-1929 #Bloomsday2023

Sunday sorted. #Vermont

Obama Appreciation Day June 14, 2026

Dinner & a book. #SaturdayNight #Vermont

Hubs made dinner on this hot, hot day. Chicken salad & melted havarti cheese on the baguette I got from a bakery in Quebec this morning. I told him, “I’ve died & gone to the south of France.”

Never forget those we lost at Pulse 10 years ago. #Pulse #Orlando #lgbtq #latinx

Neighbor hayed our fields today bc the world may be burning but you still need to hay. #Vermont

Vietnam War had ended the year before. Civil Rights Acts passed < 10 yrs before. Moon landing 7 yrs before Women’s rights in full swing, Roe v. Wade 3 yrs before. In 1976 we were progressing. We were alive. We were united. We valued education. It’s a travesty to be destroyed from within.

💖 meet the lovely, pika 💛 🪄 💜💛💙💚💜💛💙💚💜🪄

Few people ever find a niche passion that intersects with a niche talent and at an age when they’re unapologetic about both. Before the world says “you should be embarrassed.” He’s gonna end up being a world renowned ornithological researcher or educator.

Good morning! #Vermont

Suicidal empathy is not the problem. It's not even a thing. What we're seeing now is in fact a suicidal lack of empathy. The billionaires & Trump's stranglehold have no interest in the American Dream, living wages, healthcare, affordability. They only care about $. Their greed will destroy us.

this is my kind of company motto right here

Banks are in part driving the lack of affordable homes. In the 60s people used to be able to save a bit from their paycheck & earn 5% interest. Bank mortgages were also around 5-6%. Now interest on savings is ~1% & mortgages are 6.5%.

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers For especially in the month of June There's a wealth of happiness & romance All in the golden afternoon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEQu...

Ossoff: "We see a faithless president self-dealing while he depicts as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation into reckless war, sends prices soaring, and plunders our healthcare to cut taxes for those who already have spectacular wealth."

I always liked the pots of little roses from the grocery store but when I got them they would inevitably dry up & die. Hubs got me one for Mother’s Day & I replanted it right away & put it in the sun so it could die in peace. But,
