While exploring @yellowstonenps last summer I found this little thermal river, thought it was a pretty little scene.

And. . .CABBAGE!
First year: not too shabby.
I can hardly wait to make my own slaws & sauerkraut. I adore good sauerkraut. I have red cabbage growing, too, and am putting in another bunch of green cabbage to see if I make it before hard frost.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Time to go to work. Kind of gloomy out there, both weather-wise and state-of-the-union-wise. I hope everyone has a good, positive, and filled-with-honest-facts day.
No matter what you do, wherever you go, or with whom you interact today, #LeaveItBetterThanYouFoundIt.
You'll feel better about life.

If there's anyone who fully embodied my belief that "Wherever you go, whatever you do, to whomever you speak, leave it better than you found it," it would be Dr. Jane Goodall.
What a wonderful role model.

One thing that’s become absolutely clear:
The Trump administration isn’t isolationist. It meddles on behalf of authoritarians all over the world.
Or to put it another way:
The Trump administration isn’t America First. It’s Authoritarianism First.

They won the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, the EPA. Now, those protections are being undone.
The planet is more tattered now—but still sublime. Still worth fighting for.
