My friend, Jayne Anne Phillips, 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner for NIGHT WATCH, just joined BlueSky. Please welcome her!!!

My attempt to withdraw from the insane destruction of our country by seeing some of my orchids in a beautiful light. 💙💛💙💛

Remembering the nicest man I have ever known, the kindest, most thoughtful, the most entertaining man I have ever known. And, above all, the most loving. I am remembering Bud who died on this day, 4 March 2016. He loved to play tennis barefoot. This photo is from 1970!! I miss him.

A corner of my kitchen. Trying to concentrate on the beauty of nature in this time of cruelty and peril.

My orchid with FIVE stalks of flowers. One has already died. So SIX this year. It usually produces one or two. This is really special! Something to take my mind off of the horrible things going on in DC❣️

From The New York Times: The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: ‘Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?’ Bishop Budde locked eyes with President Trump and made a plea for mercy — and the war over spiritual authority in America was ignited anew. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/u...

Christmas Eve with my family… Rob, Morgan, Keaton and Sidney…. PEACE ❣️

youtu.be/xyB1g6TwJZ4?... Gorgeous, moving rendition of Silent Night by the Temptations in 1973! I had never heard it before today….

Stunning celebration of the Winter Solstice at Mount Auburn Cemetery… music, lights and most important, remembering loved ones. I always light candles for Bud and Danielle, remembering my eternal love for them.

Winter Solstice sunset and snow…..

"Reflections of the Winter Solstice" She gathers the dreams of the hibernal rest, Lays them in snowdrifts on winter’s chest, And in her gaze, the cosmos turns, In frozen stillness, the solstice burns. #celestialpainter #indieauthor #wintersolstice Click for entire image.

Please.

To introduce myself…..Thanksgiving 2024….

Trump’s Cabinet Will Be an Embarrassment of Wretches www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/o...

The 1/3 or so of the electorate who chose not to vote (they could be their own party) are just as responsible for what's coming as the people who voted for him. Inaction was an action.

My 2024 Thanksgiving table….

My cymbidium orchid…. One stalk in bloom, another bursting forth.

Just joining after leaving Twitter/X. Hearing good things about BlueSky. Worried about the future, the US and our third from the sun Planet.
