Commentary of the week: "What’s not understandable, however, is when a group of middle-aged men who haven’t quite outgrown their collective adolescent frame of mind decides to wield their political power against marginalized groups of people," writes columnist @ghart14.bsky.social.

March came in like a lamb here in #MiddleTennessee.

Here in #MiddleTennesseeI didn't spot any #planets in alignment last night after sunset. The #WaxingGibbousMoon was pretty. Isn't the moon always extra pretty when it's fighting with the clouds to shine?

youtube.com/shorts/y8K-d... Texas Paul....concise and to the point!

I didn't even know Israel was involved. Had only heard U.S. and Iran. Now, that explains a lot.

Our next door neighbor has a row of gorgeous #daffodils in their front yard. I envy them. I don't know what happened to the ones I used to have. These can be spotted along the roadside, in fields, at old homesites. I just enjoy them where ever I can find them. #MiddleTennessee

Our #WinterStormFern yard clean up continues when the weather allows and when we have the energy. Today we finished with dislodging and stacking all the broken pine tree limbs on the final pine tree, smaller debris burned in barrel. Perfect weather. #2oldfolks #MiddleTennessee

I looked up and behold, there was this beautiful moon in the mid-afternoon #bluesky. A different kind of moon beauty, don't you think? #MiddleTennessee

Watched "Shock and Awe" again last night. Seems to be a timely choice. I thought from the start there was no #WeaponsofMassDestruction in #Iraq. Just a gut feeling. I had nothing but that to base my opinion on.

"On #Bluesky, it is generally recommended to use 2 to 5 highly relevant hashtags per post. While the platform allows for more, keeping it to a few targeted tags maintains readability, avoids appearing spammy, and helps connect with specific,, niche communities, rather than just maximizing reach."

Good morning friends. I hope you enjoy your Thursday.🥰

💜🌷

Yes.....I can see that happening!

The Spring garden flags I ordered from Briarwood Lane came today. Aren't they beautiful? March 1st. they will go up.

Today is the four year anniversary of the barbaric full scale invasion against the peaceful people of Ukraine. Peaceful, until roused to defend themselves…. Slava Ukrainii

Sunday's sunset here in #MiddleTennessee. Then there was an explosion of pink colors. Cold and windy yesterday. Our temperature this morning at 13 degrees. Predicted high for today hovering around freezing. #Sunset

A person just can't watch "Lonesome Dove" to many times!

Do you know how much the typical worker would be making today if their wages had grown as much as CEO pay? This graph holds the shocking answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPPsrAMtTI

"If our farmers are not economically able to continue their operations, then we will not be able to feed ourselves in this country,” Rollins said, announcing applications are now open for row crop farmers who suffered losses due to trade disruptions and inflated production costs in 2025

We watched the TV miniseries "Lonesome Dove" last night. Not sure how many times I've seen it plus first read the book written by Larry McCurty at least two times. Robert Duvall portrayal of Gus was outstanding. I've never been less offended by the words "whore" and "poke".

"Tour of Duty examined the issues of politics, faith, teamwork, racism, suicide, fragging, terrorism, civilian deaths, sexuality, drug abuse, and how the lives of soldiers and civilians were permanently affected by the Vietnam War." Above statement is very true. Three seasons, 58 1-hour episodes.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

I love books that when you finish they leave you with lots of topics to research. "The Lies They Told" by Ellen Marie Wiseman is such a book. I highly recommend it to those of you that read #historicalfiction. #booksky

Today's Cartoon- RIP JJ

Yesterday at #sunset the sky was filled with beautiful colors in every direction...North, South, East and West. Impossible to capture the awesomeness of it in photos. Best experienced in person. #MiddleTennessee

It's been a nice sunny days here in #MiddleTennessee. High about 60 but no wind blowing so we were able to get some debris burned. Not going to be able to do much with the pine tree limbs. Just tried to make some neater piles underneath the trees until we can get them cut. Slow going👴👵

"Ready for School" by John Sloan Art I attended the same community county school 1st. through 10th. grade. Each room had two grades taught by the same teacher. The classrooms looked much like the one pictured.

We ♥️ the "Love Stamps" puzzle by #WhiteMountainPuzzles. Just completed it for the fourth time.

Interesting clouds yesterday at sunset in #MiddleTennessee. #Clouds #Sunset

I can't figure out which one I am?

Finally.......we've finished cleaning up the mess around these three pine trees. We've had some nice weather here in #MiddleTennessee the past few days, not as warm today but sunny with highs in lower 50's. Slow clean up from #WinterStormFern for these two old folks👴👵

It's a beautiful sunny day here in #MiddleTennessee and the temperature is in the upper 60's🌞 Saying good riddance to the last of the ice from #WinterStormFern!! We've been outside doing a little tree branch clean up this afternoon.....LITTLE being the key word. Us old folks can't last long👴👵

Good morning friends. Happy Monday.🥰

Yes!! I'll take more weeks like the weather we're having in #MiddleTennessee this week.

We took an afternoon drive on Natchez Trace Parkway. Lots of damaged trees from #WinterStormFern, some sections worse than others. Three photos at our favorite stops, The Tobacco Farm (mile marker #401.4) and Swan View Overlook (mile marker #392.5) #MiddleTennessee #Nature #Trees
