Dumplings, of course, aren’t exclusive to Asia. Here's a recipe from one of our staffers who makes her own pierogis.

@everyheron.bsky.social The herons are coming back to the rookery in the 3Z Ranch. I learned that the males arrive first and get busy fixing up the nests. #HighDesert #SWColorado #Herons #BirdsOfBlueSky

I wrote about a little-known, very traditional, rustic home treat from the Burgundy region of France : la flamusse aux pommes. I share the recipe for this marvelously simple, delicious dessert, a thick crêpe - light & creamy - with sweet tender apples. jamieschler.substack.com/p/flamusse-a...

It’s getting to be that time again. I love getting tips, suggestions and advice on home vegetable gardens. My thumb isn’t the greenest but I always try. Backyard vegetable gardens are healthy for people and the planet. Here's how to start yours #SheShed apnews.com/article/back...

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

The world now gets to see how right Iran is to call the USA the “Great Satan.”

And oh so beautiful in their meanderings

My corner gas station was selling regular unleaded for $3.40 before this criminal Republican war. Now it is $4.16.

A-the-fuck-MEN!!!

In solidarity with Spain’s understandable skepticism of this illegal war, I present Beatrix, my Pure Spanish Horse (Pura Raza Española) giving her RBF side eye. #NoMoreWars

Goodnight, People of Earth. #NoMoreWars

Much better photo than mine! Thanks for sharing!

Check out the moon right now …

Good News: You are not going crazy. Bad News: The people in charge have. No shit Sherlock, Right? Well … this is an EXCELLENT primer on Trump’s “Post-Truth Explanatory Rampage.” Well worth the listen.

Way too much Jesus and God crap going on in the USA. No wonder the USA is so dysfunctional...

Watching the sun set on another beautiful day, keenly aware that others a world away are suffering terribly. Put women in charge. #NoMoreWars

Illegal Detentions Illegal Deportations Illegal Tariffs Illegal War Illegal Extrajudicial Killings Illegal Prosecutions Illegal Bribes Illegal Coverups Illegal Firings Illegal Withholding of Funds Illegal Kidnapping Illegal Vote Rigging etc. Thinking they may have taken on too many crimes at once.

I bet nobody ever heard of Congressman Schweikert. Want to know why? He has got to be the most cowardly do-nothing, say-nothing Congressman in Washington. 🤦‍♀️

I am just so blessed that I have peace in my life — that I may pass my time quietly enjoying these horses and the beauty of the place I call home. My thoughts are with the people of Iran who may dream of a similar peace, but have had it taken from them. #NoMoreWar #QueenBea #DogAndPonyShow

Exactly this. 🎯🎯🎯

I am not interested in following this war of choice that the US and Israel is waging against Iran. I am sad and so very sorry in advance for any and all loss of life; and all the MEN who play soldier and make war can go fuck themselves … or each other. I don’t care.

Are we great yet? #SheShed

🎯 💡 🚀 Adios!

Sometimes the only thing that brings me joy is spoiling these dogs. #TheOtter

Blood Orange Juice. This year I covered the tree with a very fine net designed for fruit trees, and I was finally able to get a blood orange harvest for myself. Normally the woodpeckers eat all the oranges before I can get any them; and today I discovered why … they smell like cotton candy. 🤤

Well … tomorrow is T.A.C.O. Tuesday, after all! 🌮 🌮 🌮

“Just a mustang,” you say? 🤩 #JosieTheMustang

Wowza!!

The snow this past week did not disappoint. I only wish there were more snow days. A couple years ago we had a winter where feet of snowfall was deposited with every storm. This hadn’t happened in the 4-Corners area for years. The spring that followed was a bounty of greenery and a foragers dream.

Good point!!

Mesa Verde

🍿 For Entertainment Purposes only … Everyone imagines air strikes against Iran, but what if Caligula is planning a naval blockade to force a “peace” agreement?

I can’t charge ONE DOLLAR! I wanted to be a good boy! I am very good at reading language. Kavanaugh is a genius. All of these things I know so well. I am now MORE POWERFUL. It’s terrible! Pack the court. Now we know I can embargo. These people are sleaze bags.

Locally-grown Anasazi Beans on a #HighDesert snow day 😋 ❄️

Here is a slow cooker stew that requires very little effort and the payoff is a pot of stewy white beans in a rich broth, perfect for serving over polenta, or with toasted bread. Recipe and photo by one of our favorite Bean Freaks, Alexandra Stafford (@alexandracooks).

Class is cancelled, kids. SNOW DAY! ❄️

Good news! Let’s fight together!

Good Morning BlueSky! Time to enjoy an 8 Brocades #QiGong set while the sun rises on the snow-laden #HighDesert pasture. The sun always rises!

Ugh. 🤢

I am honestly surprised that I made it through the 80s & 90s without becoming a victim of sexual abuse. In my early 20s, I worked in the Governor’s Ofc and I now suspect it was happening all around me. The truth needs to be laid bare. Survivors deserve justice, & our daughters deserve safety.
