Bessent and Bondi are working overtime to make sure a bunch of rich pedophiles and Epstein accomplices are never held accountable. Following the money is one way to serve justice. Today I'm introducing my bill to force the Treasury to hand over its Epstein files.

Tigridia pavonia, aka Mexican day lily, Mexican shell flower. These produce blooms for weeks, but each lasts only a day. The blossoms attract the local bumblebees. 2560 x 1440 pixel #Deskpicture #Gardening #Photography #Flowers #Oregon

OTD three years ago I disturbed this yearling buck sleeping in the garden. He stopped to observe the kitten in the corn before departing as I herded him back to the open gate. No corn was damaged during this adventure. #Garden #Photography #Deer #Cat #Animals #Gardening #Flowers #Oregon #Wildlife

OTD ten years ago, the covered bridge was far more visible from the garden. Trees grow fast in the Coast Range rain forest belt. #Flowers #Garden #Photography #CoveredBridge #Oregon

OTD 2014 photo. Akita is still doing great, propagated around the garden and to friends. #Dahlia #Gardening #Photography

OTD ten years ago this Sungold tomato was getting out of hand, with immense vines growing up to fourteen feet long. I had to improvise more and more trellis and support. This year everything is later, big contrast. #Garden #Photography #Sungold #Tomato #Organic #Gardening

Happy National Sneak Some Zucchini On Your Neighbor's Porch Day. Each year I allow a couple of zucchini to fully mature on the vine so they keep all winter long. This photo is from the month of April. #Garden #Gardening #Photography

OTD last year, tree lily bloom was special. And they are fragrant. #Flowers #Garden #Photography

This tree lily is a favorite, spectacular bloom and fragrant too. Yesterday I took the camera for a walk in the yard. These two in one container, and four larger ones are blooming. #Flowers #Garden #Photography #Lilium

OTD in 2018 the single tree lily bulb was in full bloom. Today it has multiplied to six large bulbs and numerous smaller starts. #Flowers #Gardening #Photography

OTD two years ago, the tree lilies were really showing off. This year their schedule is much slower, but they have begun opening. I divided these bulbs into three containers with two bulbs each. #Gardening #Photography #Deskpicture

OTD in 2019, blossoms, blossoms, blossoms. #Garden #Photography

OTD four years ago I spotted a few visitors from the office window. They came by for lunch and enjoyed the flowers. #Garden #Photography

OTD fifteen years ago I found a camel. I had to spend some time with this friendly creature.

Donald Trump is now a war criminal.

Happy Summer Solstice. #Flowers are enjoying the season. Some of my lily bulbs are fully mature now and enjoying their overwinter repotting. #Gardening #Photography #Deskpicture

On this day in 2017 home grown #shitake were fruiting. #Mycology #Fungi #Mushroom #Photography #OTD

OTD is my fun morning routine, searching my drive. I name files by date. 2025.05.25 (which sorts chronologically when sorted alphabetically) so I see what happened in the garden, what bloomed, etc. on e.g. 05.25. #Portland #Rose #Garden in 2012, note the human for scale. #Photography #Rhododendron

#Strawberries are late this year. I've been planting tomato, pepper, and other starts this weekend without adequate nearby rewards. On this day in 2014: #Gardening #Photography

Where were you when it blew? My eruption photos include the last visible eruptions before May 18, as the vent was growing. On May 18 I slept in, was awakened to the news by a friend checking if I was alive. That morning fifty-seven people were too close and died. Photos: jqjacobs.net/photos/volcano

Happy first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox everyone. #Tulips OTD in 2014. #Flowers #Gardening #Photography

The dahlias are starting to sprout, a few in sunny spots had leaves, then it frosted. Now the early shoots are blackened. They'll recover. This Akita variety in the front yard planter, a prime sunny and exposed location, took a hit. #Dahlia #Flowers #Oregon #Gardening #Garden #Blossoms #Photography

I am impressed by how long these two tubs of tulip blossoms are persisting. They keep drawing me back for one more photo. Can you spot the blossom with a red patch? 2560 pixel #Deskpicture #Tulips #Gardening #Photography

The US spent roughly US$12 billion on global health in 2024. Without that yearly spending, roughly 25 million people could die in the next 15 years https://go.nature.com/3YBib33

Shitake growing experiment. Stacked wood bolts colonized for 2 yrs, wafers from shitake logs and their sawdust between alder sections. Some bolts larger than these two combined. Then cultured in a garden shed, soaking in tubs of water triggered fruitings. Success. Mmmm. #Shitake #Mushroom #Gardening

Today's fine weather in the PNW means tulips are happy and opening, showing off their colors. #Spring seems real today. #Gardening #Flowers #Tulips #Tulipa #Photography

Lots and lots of flowers around the garden now, tulips will be peaking next. Tulips wait for nice weather to open, so the next two days will be quite colorful. #Gardening #Flowers #Narcissus #Amaryllidaceae #Photography

OTD 2016, shitake bolts were fruiting. They spawned a big downed log in the woods along the creek. That log is fruiting pristine mushrooms today. #Shitake #Mushrooms #Oregon #Gardening #Tulips

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Happy March Equinox 2025. Happy Spring to northern hemispherians. The 2025 March equinox is today, March 20 at 8:01 A.M. PDT. Anyone else ready for tulip season, lawn mowing, planting time, and lots more sunshine unless you are a southern hemispherian. Anyone else planting some flowers today?

Happy Holiday. Our record snowfall last winter provided this unique view of Fisher Covered Bridge but not one tourist saw it, the road was covered in fallen trees for days. Feel free to use the image.

Happy Solstice. Archaeology gets astronomy attention today, particularly Neolithic passages and Egyptian buildings aligned to sunrise.
