View of downtown Ashland from Hald Strawberry Park trail. The tall building is the Historic Ashland Springs Hotel and the gray half circle building is the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Elizabethan Theater.

Yesterday this Pine Siskin sat by me on the deck and we enjoyed the sunshine together.

Snow melted and revealed Snowdrops in bloom. #Snowdrops #flowers #nature #inthegarden #AshlandOregon

Republicans have brain washed people by controlling media. And, by withholding federal money they are blackmailing us into submission. They are threatening those of us who don't fall into line & step with the new order. Sounds a lot like a book I read...1984!

My heart is so heavy. Those of us who stand up for democracy are being called communists. It's unbelievable how blindly people just believe what Trump’s fascist regimen tells them to think.

Snow globes

This is the most snow we've seen in the 37 years we've lived in S. Oregon, almost 16 inches and still snowing.

Trump’s FCC is now "investigating" PBS. The only news station I trust to tell the whole truth. Republicans are crushing our democracy and our freedoms on all levels.

Birthday feast for me and my friend, Rick Schmitt. Capricorns ♑️ 🐐

Today's nature walk to calm the mind. #emigrantlake #ashland #southernoregon

No joke. 🤢

"..one of the main tactics of tyrants is to create division and hatred through dehumanizing “others”. Compassion and loving-kindness practices offer an antidote to help us get out of the loop of dehumanization and other-ing and remember that, at root, we are all connected."

After seeing the movie 'A Complete Unknown', I think we are in serious need of more songwriters like: Bob Dylan, Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seegar and Joan Baez to encourage fighting for our Freedom, our Rights, our Democracy!

Wild turkeys passing through the neighborhood. There were at least 20 of them. #oregonwildlife

Lesser Finches were cold and hungry this morning.
