Need a laugh? You’re welcome 😉

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

I think about this quote a lot.

Went on an adventure today & brought home a new buckling to diversify our small herd! He’ll become our herd sire when he’s big enough, but for now he seems to be falling in just fine with our other boys 🥰 Now we just need to name him! 🤔 #milkgoats #diversifiedfarm #nigeriandwarfgoats #sohandsome

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

This is horrific. WtAF?!

I'm really just trying to find my way back to center, I'll do well to remember that life is a marathon, not a sprint.
