On what would have been his 102nd birthday, I’m thinking of President Jimmy Carter. As a patriot, a humanitarian, and a leader who centered human rights, he embodied what it means to make your faith come alive through public service. His legacy will long outlive us all.

One more rose struggled to bloom to end the season. A tough year for gardens and gardeners. With nobody taking global warming seriously it’s just going to get worse.

Now that AI is officially SI and therefore needs no guardrails I hope it will hack into Trump and his minions’ wealth and distribute it to all suffering people around the world and Trump will be left begging on the streets and nobody will care.

Yes!
I'm on board with this.
Along with very lengthy prison terms for treason.

Trump wants to own everything and then decide who gets something but for a price.

This stop along the Blue Ridge Parkway was my Alfie's favorite. He always remembered the stop and we couldn't get him to leave. It was his Zen moment. #Goldenlove

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or your garden or community green space could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

Gorgeous picture Jim. They are the gentlest creatures.
I'm seeing lots of large bees right now. I'm attempting cell phone shots with no zoom, so I've bumped into quite a few bees and the large ones are very forgiving. This is a male eastern carpenter bee on a horsemint flower. #bees 🐝🌿 #pollinators #bugsky #insects #ECK #nature #wildlife #nativeplants
