I sliced open a couple of ripe peaches from our tree (which is getting crushed under the weight of all the fruit) and can’t believe how sweet home grown peaches are! Our first peach crop after five years of failure. #gardening #peaches #omg

Nothing's as great as the first bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich of the summer, unless it's the second one. Homegrown garden tomatoes just hit differently! #gardening #homegrown #tomatoes #BLTs #omg #drool

No Kings then, No Kings now. Thought we cleared that shit up 250 years ago... #NoKings #westillmeanit #FDJT

Fact! #Pinks #USDemocracy

The 4th of July used to be a happy occasion. I miss that... #happybirthdayAmerica #getwellsoon #ladylibertyweeps

"I used to sleep at the foot of Old Glory And awake in the dawn's early light, Much to my surprise when I opened my eyes I was a victim of a great compromise" John Prine Happy birthday, America. Get well soon... #HappyBirthdayUSA #getwellsoon #JohnPrine #GreatCompromise #oldglory

I picked a quart of ripe blackberries this morning, snapped the lid on their plastic container, then filled another. Forgot the first one out there in the sun for two hours. When I remembered, the berries had turned red like unripe berries. How does that happen? #gardening #blackberries #WTH

Just got terrible news that my friend Sister Vonda McDaniel has passed. She was the pride of Steelworkers Local 1055 in Lavergne, TN, president of the Nashville Central Labor Council, and a tireless champion of working people everywhere. Her voice will be sorely missed. #unionstrong

If you have hummingbird feeders, you should probably gather them up, scrub them, and replace the nectar. This heat is practically boiling the sugar water in our feeders, and it's amazing how quickly they can go rancid and develop mold that can sicken or kill hummingbirds. #birds #hummingbirds

Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com

I know it's hot out, but do your feathered buddies a favor and go fill up your birdbath. #waterforbirds #birds #heatwave #featheredfriends

CNN showed footage of two idiots climbing atop the radio/tv transmitter tower of the Empire State Building while I was eating lunch... which caused my vertigo to kick in, and I almost hurled. Please, don't show aerial footage looking down from skyscrapers. Some of us aren't happy being this tall.

We pulled up behind this Lexus SUV in MAGA-red Murfreesboro, Tn yesterday, and I had to take a photo. The owners of this vehicle aren't afraid to let their feelings show! Bravo! #protectingpedos #votingforarapist

Whenever you hear that a House Republican has introduced a bill to completely superglue his ass to a front row seat on the MAGA Pander Express, you can safely assume the asshole in question is our very own Rep. Andy Ogles. He's an utter embarrassment, and we're so sorry he's ours. #Ogles #asshole

Apparently, it's "tongue out Tuesday" here on BlueSky. #tongueouttuesday #wildlife #birds #originalphotography #middleTN #canonwildlifephotography #riverotter #greatblueheron #rubythroatedhummingbird #rabbit

Isn't it amazing that the feel the need to applaud when this Supreme Court actually upholds the clear language of our nation's Constitution? Always surprising. Of course, three of them thought it was a bad call. #birthright #citizenship #SCOTUS

I’m in Canada at the moment, and someone behind me in the grocery line said, after finding out I’m American, ‘No worries, we got you. We know you don’t support him. And honestly, it’s been a good wake up call for us.’ I almost cried.

Please, Jebus…

Question for the gardeners here on BlueSky. Does anyone still use one of these bad boys to juice strawberries, blackberries, raspberries? If not, can you advise what modern equipment does the job just as well. This feels so primitive (but very efficient)! #gardening #fruitstrainer #juicer

Took a grandson fishing, then took him through the Stones River Battlefield Visitor Center before coming home to pick a few blackberries. We made nineteen jars of blackberry jelly, and had time to find a few cukes and peppers in the garden. #gardening #blackberries #peppers #middleTN #harvest

There’s a perfectly good bird bath I rinse out and refill every morning five yards away, but this chickadee prefers dirty water out of an ant trap above a hummingbird feeder. Go figure! #chickadee #birds #BirdoftheDay

I made a meme a few years ago to parody the language many of us face when we vote on a referendum. Satire, of course, but not too far from what you might find on election day. #referendumwording #byzantine

The Bird of the Day theme is #GreyDay Tennessee's state bird is the mockingbird, and it's mostly grey. #BirdoftheDay #birds #originalphoto #middleTN #mockingbird #wildlife

“If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be a 12-hour news story,” J.D. Vance Probably true. But if a hundred boats hit icebergs and sank every week, Celine Dion wouldn't have had a movie soundtrack. It's only memorable and important if it's rare.

You will never make rent if you keep making financially irresponsible choices such as “buying groceries.”

Birds are strange. A black capped chickadee prefers to sip rancid water from an ant trap hung above a hummingbird feeder rather than drink fresh water from the birdbath I rinse out and refill every morning. Go figure. #BirdoftheDay #chickadee #originalphoto #birds #middleTN

"After the last month, Democratic leadership should be seriously taking stock of their position," writes Ben Davis. "The energy is on their left. The people are on their left."

Let your mind go back to those halcyon days, when we'd wake up and go about our daily lives without giving more than a second thought to the mechanizations of our government. Good, bad, or indifferent, the people in office weren't apt to destroy democracy while we were distracted. Heavy sigh...

This is the only Louisiana Waterthrush I've ever seen, and I happened to have my camera with me that day by the Little Pigeon River in The Smokies. Sometimes we have to mentally change channels, and go to your "nothing box" for your sanity. #BirdoftheDay #Louisianawaterthrush #originalphoto

These rains have made our garden go crazy. We just picked a slew of veggies yesterday, but this haul was waiting for me this morning (along with a quart of blackberries!). Making a bell pepper casserole and a blackberry cobbler tonight. #gardening #middleTN #homegrown #blackberries #thankful

Glad the county hasn't mowed the grass in the ditch across the street. A doe has been munching clover a couple times a day for the past week, posing for the camera. I just hope she doesn't develop a taste for my garden tomatoes! #wildlife #middleTN #whitetaildeer #originalphotos #gardening

For the most part, I think this is Correct….. “Unpopular opinion: If women ran the world, we wouldn't live in a society where women, babies and dogs are killed by police or military.”🎯

If Janine Pirro wants to prosecute those who vandalize our Capital, I'd like to report an incident: On October 20-23, someone tore down the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House...and I happen to know who the culprit was!

Never in the history of mankind has someone so averse to telling simple truths been given so much power. If he shits himself during a cabinet meeting, he somehow blames it on Joe Biden or Barack Obama. Can we skip ahead to the scene where he offs himself in the bunker? We're exhausted...

I envy some things about Great Britain. When they have a leader who is corrupt, or merely unsuccessful in carrying out the agenda promised in the campaign, they can change leaders. I'm sure it's a complicated process, but from America it looks so simple and sensible. Wish we could flush Trump.

We might as well laugh at the fool. Getting angry just eats us alive and makes his cult happy. #reflectingpool #travesty #algae #FDJT

Happy Fathers Day to all you mothers who made it possible... #HFD

We've got 7 quarts of green beans in the pressure canner (making almost fifty quarts so far this summer), and we're making pepper relish and a pasta salad from some tomatoes, cukes, and onions from the garden. Had to put our husky down yesterday, so this is a nice distraction. #gardening

But wait, there’s more

Before long, everything in DC will be shrouded in one of these tarps. Someone should make a burka out of that material and drape it over Trump. #tarp #reflectingpool #FDJT

Time to rewatch "The Mouse that Roared" starring Peter Sellers. It's a about a tiny country (The Duchy of Fenwick) that declares war on the United States, loses quickly, and then gets foreign aid to rebuild their economy. And in the movie, the little guys win. Sound familiar? #IranMOU #trump #ffs

What we just witnessed from the world stage at the G-7 summit in France was one of the most embarrassing and humiliating things to ever happen to this country. Donald Trump is stark raving mad. The entire world just watched him blather on for forty-five excruciating minutes. Felt sorry for Rubio!

Are you watching this fool? O. M. G. !!! #Trump #speakingfromFrance

I can't wait for the opportunity to vote for this woman on a national ticket.

I hate getting a notification on BlueSky that someone has blocked me. There should be a form to fill out, explaining why you've decided to block someone, so that person can correct their offensive behavior or have some idea what made that person ghost them. "Reason for blocking?"... "Cuss words".
