Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

The blood lilies (Scadoxus multiflorus) are in full bloom today. The blooms look like exploding fireworks. Unfortunately they only bloom once a year for 2-3 days, but the wait is worth it. 🌱 #MyGarden #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling

Today's #mobydick quote: "But I soon found that there came such a draught of cold air over me from under the sill of the window, that this plan would never do at all, especially as another current from the rickety door met the one from the window..." 🌱 #ASMR #peony #rain #soothing #booksky #summer

More busy days ahead! Back to work to help set up for the season, plus building a full size greenhouse and planting my garden. Finding time in between the rain and storms has been the challenge. (But I do love that rain) 🤭🌱

It’s a bit alarmingly warm and will be quite warm all week. But my strawberries are amazeballs already and we are just getting started. 🌱

The bees are back in town. The bees are back in town. 📸📷🌱 #Gardening #Photography

Good morning flowers🌱

👀 Always super active every morning, plotting sap trails By late spring it gets more interesting because the hummingbirds follow them through the woods secretly, stealing tree sap until their flowers are more common👀 They do the same in south America during the winter #Birds #Ontario #Canada

Beautiful American Goldfinches. #Birds #BirdsOfBluesky #Goldfinch

Slaty-tailed Trogon. Metropolitan National Park, #Panama They often follow troops of white-faced capuchin monkeys to forage for insects, as the monkeys' movement disturbs insects in the forest canopy. #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #photography #birdphotography

It’s thinning the fruit time on the peach tree. The trees can only produce so many quality fruits. Also if ripening fruits are touching it’s much more likely they will rot or introduce a disease. 🌱 they need to be ~6” between fruit on the branches.

Morning Chuckle

This is the truth. Republicans could put an immediate end to this insanity. They own this.

Government: "Time for taxes!" Me: "Okay, what do I owe?" G: "You figure that out." M: "Uh, ok. Um..." G: "Oh, and if you get it wrong, you go to prison." M: "How do you know if what I paid was wrong?" G: "Oh, we know what you owe." M: "Okay, what do I owe?" G: "You figure that out."

Elon Musk should stop failing at politics and go back to doing what he does best: failing at business.

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.
