Can't get the Ladybugs' Picnic out of my head today. Just perfect that today is also the 12th! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX9J...

This has a been a terrible spring for my chickens, and my poor traumatized Sarah has so many lost and broken feathers, in addition to being my sole survivor. This morning I see she has a new heart feather on the back of her neck! That's got to be a promising sign, right?

I found a "diamond" bracelet in the birdbath! I don't know if the crows have finally noticed I'm a good neighbor, or if someone is playing a prank on me, but what a fun mystery!

Received an invitation to a family reunion, and OOF! the anxiety! I'm the odd duck of the family who doesn't hunt, fish, watch football, boot scoot, nor go to church on Sunday. I've always been teased and mocked, and that was before they became MAGA. I miss my cousins, but I don't know...

On display in at No Kings III in Lee's Summit, MO

Seeing the growth of the crowds from the first, then second, and now third No Kings rally in St Peters gives me more joy than my face shows 😜

I baked a birthday cake for my husband, and that poor man did not deserve this. It's a strawberry poke cake, to look further blood soaked. Also explains the extra Jello. I haven't finished its surrounding cupcakes because it's too hot and melty in here, so back in the refrigerator for a bit.

Chicken butt says what? "Can't talk now, worms are waking up!"

Just got our income tax refund last week. Two days later, our furnace stopped working. This morning, a tow truck took my poor old non-starting car to the shop. There's two ways to look at this: My husband is gnashing his teeth, but I thank goodness they "waited" to break down.

Pro-Life My Ass Fundamentalist religious nuts have been prolific MURDERERS throughout history.

The only thing that gave Carl solace at the end was that no one would know how he died. Unfortunately, he forgot about the timer on the camera.

Found the first flower of the year today in the back yard!

Daughter completed her first 5K race this morning, then sent her parents a pic and a "I did it!" text. I gushed about how proud I was of her, if she was nervous before hand, how did she feel now... Her dad: "Good. Now do a 10K" Two different parenting styles 😍😐, but it seems to balance out!

Watching a live feed of the general strike marchers in Minneapolis, and those people are inspirational! What good human beings!

‘Nāve’, by Latvian painter Janis Rozentāls, 1897

Everyone you hated in grade school gets to do THE PURGE while you silently try to control your blood pressure is a shit game.

"Smooth criminals", lol! 😂 I suspected a lot of these boys had dick issues, but Maggie did the research for me, thankfully!

Normally I wouldn't share this, because my lettering is wonky and Pete looks like Bob Dole and Matt Gaetz had a love child. But Kristi's stupid plastic face turned out perfect! LOL!

Was having a bit of a cry last night after an emotional visit with my grandson when someone started beating on the door. It was my neighbor's ex-girlfriend. She wanted to borrow our jimmy to get her stuff out of his house. Her hand was deeply cut, but she wouldn't let me take her to urgent care...

My friend, Kendra, has mastered whimsy. It's hard to do right without coming across as "cutesy". But from the way she adorns the envelope to the ephemera secreted inside, she makes a mood-lifting magical charm. And the enclosed card belongs on my bookcase altar!

Is there a barber in the house? Saw this photo in a book about the Dakota Apartments, and I'm blown away by what this man did with his neck hair. What's this called? I've heard of a chinstrap beard, but this is something else, right?

Won a box of stuff at an auction, which included this marble pyramid. I don't need this, I don't want or need any more "stuff", but the longer I look at it, the more I want to keep it. It's cool, but it goes against every goal I have to declutter. Anyone got a good excuse for me to keep it?

As a genuine old person, I can confirm that Carmen is correct, as always. She's earned that Werther's butterscotch in my purse!

This is SO spot on. The artist especially captured that blank, stupidly evil expression that Dressy DHSsy Bessy always wears, no matter what costume she dons. Gawd, they're all so vile.

Looking through the local auction company's latest on-line sale... Is it just me, or is this David Bowie? Genuine question, because my husband always argues with me when I think I think people look similar.

Don't you hate it when you store a Book of Shadows for someone for about a dozen years, only to find out they don't want it anymore? Book's name is Grapek, btw. Grichels is amazing.

I have never been mistaken so many times before. "Oo, my favorite! Naw, THAT is my favorite! No, wait! THAT one. Whoops, look at THAT one, it's my fav-- wait a minute..."

I took my wee'un to PBS in the Park in the early 2000s, where we met Dr. Loretta Long, aka Susan from Sesame Street. I was astonished at how emotional I was! I could barely speak and was teary eyed! She laughed and said it happens to the mamas all the time, but the kids don't get starstruck.

Just saw the beginning of a Grizzly Adams episode on MeTV. Not only did he encourage a racoon to eat out of his garden, but he also pulled up lettuce to give the bear. I enjoyed watching that show as a kid, but I didn't realize how fake it was! WTF shows wild animals how to destroy their garden?!

The fold-out illustration in this children's book is heinous. Last kid probably startled so hard they tore the page. From "Imagine" by Norman Messenger.

At yesterday's protest, a driver waiting for the light to change read my sign and flipped me off. Usually, I look away because I don't want to make angry people madder, but I just stared back. So, he gave me the ol' double bird... 1/2

"Let's go over this one more time." "I know what-" "ONE MORE TIME." "Fine." "What is it you're looking for?" "A garbage bag." "In which room?" "The kitchen." "What do you do when you find it?" "Bring it to you here." "I'm counting on you, Tim."

Ever see those 70s raining oil lamps? There was a leaking detergent bottle on the top shelf at WM that had the entire display looking like that. I told the first employee I found. She said, "That's not my job." "OK, but I thought you might know whose it is." "Well, I don't!"

This shirt I got at the Bins may be the cheesiest thing I've ever owned, so I'd like to wear it on Thanksgiving. Unless it has a meaning that I'm too old and unhip to get. You would tell me if it's something bad, right? #warhorse

Think a couple of the eggs have gone bad.

You know how some folks come from "old money"? I come from "old poor", so let me help any "new poor" with some tips. Older recipe books usually call for more basic ingredients and tend to skew toward feeding more faces for your buck. Try an old cookbook!

Accidentally discovered that ponytail scrunchies are Jelly's favorite toy of all time. OF ALL TIME! He likes it when they're shot into the air, so he can do his "bird hunter" impersonation. (He really likes it when you "wooh!" at how high he jumps!)

I get to babysit these knuckleheads while their parents are overseas for two weeks. Wasabi ran to the door this morning when he heard the keys, saw it was me and not his mom, complained with a "MEH!", and left before I could get in. Jelly is lovey-dovey, but Wasabi is very annoyed with me!

At the crack of dawn, Big Daddy Hatrack was wondering where all the does went. My backyard has a handsome new visitor!

My daughter is a volunteer at an animal shelter, and she let me tag along as she cleaned the cat rooms this morning. At one point there were seven purring kittens on my lap and I got love bombed in the best way possible. HIGHLY recommend.

Anyone else think Scott Bessant on Meet the Press this morning sounded like a movie hostage trying to convince the cops that "everything's fine"?

This is disgusting.
