Lady of Shalott climber Rich orange-red buds open to chalice-shaped blooms, filled orange petals. The surrounding outer petals are salmon-pink with beautifully contrasting golden-yellow undersides. There is a pleasant, warmTea fragrance, with hints of spiced apple and cloves. Photo by Rubina Kazi.

Glad I took a shot of these Campanulas and Gautama yesterday, they’re flat on the ground today after all the rain we got overnight. Have a great weekend 👋☕️

Roses can take some time to get established. This is a second year Earth Angel heirloom rose I grew from a one quart pot. Last year it produced only a couple blossoms; this year it struggled with aphids but has managed about a dozen buds so far. Coming along!🌹 🌱 #gardening

I agree. He looks like an old malevolent psychotic bastard with orange makeup and hair transplants. It’s perfect.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

No one in Trump’s family has ever served in the military. He’ll send other people’s kids to war. Never his. Never.

Can’t wait for Dem congressional leadership to quash any talk of impeachment, placing all their chips on midterms, as we experience escalating daily unchecked horrors.

They didn’t bomb Iran last night because of intel. They did it on a hunch…like a drunk betting the mortgage on a long shot at 3 a.m. Problem is, this one might pay off in body bags, not winnings. Never trust Trump’s vibes. Several bankruptcies have shown they’re usually wrong.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.
