Don't get to see many tropical plants/trees in Michigan - glad to have a greenhouse nearby that lets you visit. They have a small Koi pond in the center.

#yosemite It's April 17th - trying to reserve gated entry for 6/7-9 and the system will only go to 5/31. So, does anyone know if it's "45 days in advance" or "2 mos. In advance" ??? I'll keep trying - might be "end user error" on my part

"Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee." Dale Cooper Twin Peaks - absolutely! Pie and coffee 😋

I love our MeL Cat here in Michigan and have utilized it many times. I stopped by my local library today and was told that it is primarily funded via the fed monies from the IMLS. They are funded until Sept. - After that the program will likely shutdown 😔 😡

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...
