Mom to two grown boys and two rambunctious dogs. I enjoy gardening, birding, reading, writing, and watching TV with my husband. Oh! And wine. Can't forget about the wine!
Reader question: What do you do when you hit your yearly reading goal early? Do you increase the number or just leave it and keep reading?

Love the color. So pretty.

It so hard when mentally you want to be getting on with things but Brain fog and fatigue have other ideas. It feels like I’m trying to swim to the surface and never getting my head above water today. #chronicillness

Only in Republican America is it illegal to give water to people waiting in line to vote, but it's OK for the president to bribe them with a promise of $5,000 to influence *how* they vote.

A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.

Agreed!
Its always up to the person being treated badly to be 'The Bigger Person' or the one to have to walk away. The aggressor is rarely held accountable and will continue their behaviour indefinitely. I think this needs an UNO reverse, time for a culture change!

A String of Bad Days (and What Happened When That Good Day Finally Came Along)
It's been a string of bad days with depression, anxiety and more. But they made me realise something important when that one good day came along.

Question for #birds enthusiasts: How do you deter Cowbirds from dominating your feeders?

I have already tried safflower seed--they munch it up, tube feeders--they hang on it and eat, and I have suet feeders, which they also hang and eat from. What else can I do?
