Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Happy Earth Day. I loved this iris. It didn’t bloom every year but when it did it was glorious. This was its last bloom before squirrels dug up the bulbs. #irises

Our dogs. On the left side, our exotic-looking spunky terrier-chihuahua mix when he was a youngster. He’s an old guy now. On the right side, our previous dog, a mini-schnauzer. Most stubborn dog we’ve ever had but a fierce guard dog! Both dogs were re-homed to us. #dogs
