My neighbor cut the top off a pineapple, and this is it five years later. I named it Pineapple Pete after my neighbor whose name is Pete.

Gas and egg prices in my neighborhood. Liar, liar, hairs on fire...

“Starting today, adults are no longer permitted to be unique or to deviate from a narrow set of cultural norms while in the presence of a minor,” Gov. Greg Abbott said at a press conference." That's me in the middle...

Trying my hand at candle making. I was feeding the insides to the racoons, but they don't have access to life saving medications that Trump has, so I stopped.

Happy Mother's Day!

We are becoming a laughingstock as a country. I will not live long enough to see the repair that will need to be done, if ever, but long enough to see us destroyed.

Forestry under Trump's roll back of environmental safeguards regarding logging projects.

What a cute duckie. Oh, it wants to be friends. Whoops!

A city retention pond is across from the backyard fence. It was busy this morning as these critters slip through beneath the wiring.

"Jumping Jacks" flower.

My future in short hair.

Be the bright example bsky, even while Trump is burning the country down around us.

My original photo transitioning into a pen and ink.

Let us please not forget who we are. Stay strong...

My bird friend sits on my air conditioner and stares intently while I make my beads. He left me a kernel of corn yesterday as a thank you for giving him seeds. I left him some shiny silver steampunk gears. The grounds keeper picked them up and tossed them. Jeez dude, you could ruin a wet dream.

Trump has canceled local arts grants across the country. I can't believe how much of a sick %#$@ he is even for a human.

My curtains are drawn. My on-line groceries are delivered at night. The sound is off on my phone. I dress in all black. Oh, hell I did that anyway. I am a Grok tweaker...

Now you can tell who you are being arrested and detained by...

Flower, I photographed tweaked in Grok.

"The U.S. is a great place to do business and visit," states Karoline Leavitt, as more countries issue updated travel advisories.

Happy Birthday!

I make stuff. Keeps me sane (okay, this is the impression I give myself.)

An image of a flower from this morning. I was so upset because there was a hair on the lens. Duh...

This was Olive. She was found starving, tied to a pole and brought to the animal shelter I volunteered. She nipped the manager's boyfriend on a home visit I found out and put down. Looking in her eyes, she had a story to tell but I never got to hear it.

I feel birds seek human help when in need. People kept driving around this poor creature and I stopped to help it. I took a quilt from my car and had to throw it over its head to help me get it home. The bird was smiling after (see photo) as the beak was finally operatable once again.

Please tell my friend's Pitbull he can only have one doll. Nice doggy...

What a hoot! The five-minute Halloween costume. I borrowed my friends' clothes, make up pencil and his gray eye shadow and headed out clubbing after drawing on my face. Needless to say, when I ordered a drink, I had the bartender rolling on the floor in laughter.

Believe me, you don't want to grow up like this. I didn't know my real name until I was 23 years of age. 🙃

The boxes of cereal aren't the only food that is shrinking...

My cat slipped his toy raccoon into his carrier. He had a vet visit that day and thought I wouldn't notice the difference between the two of them when I got to the car.

One of my pics from Harvard Square I tweaked in Photo Shop. As Harvard University has been in the news so much, "Violet" needed to be brought forth as I took her photo right across the street from the college.
