Got drought-tolerant native Idaho perennials in the backyard. It's around 17'x17'. Will get the Idaho dry shade perennials planted next Sat. The center should eventually be 3' to 4' high. Will put a stone patio next to the garden so I can watch insects & humming birds. Duck was keeping me company.

Working early elections, I've had numerous 1st time voter registrations. That in itself isn't unusual. What's different this year, many of these are in their 30s and 40s. Something big is happening. Turnout for this midterm is huge. It's great to see people participate. #idpol #Election2026 #Idaho

Elizabeth Warren Is 💯% Correct...

Early Voting is open! Come on in. There are 10 locations across Ada County, Idaho where you can vote early, from 8am to 5pm, M-F, Oct. 19th through Oct. 30th. If in a different County in Idaho, check your county for voting locations. adacounty.id.gov/elections/ea...

Trying to bust through the caliche layers in the backyard. Topsoil is only 3 inches. Getting ready to plant drought tolerant stuff. Gonna go with this find not being human. Otherwise, there'd be a lot of paperwork.

My oldest and I just won Zoo Boise Trivia Night. We were Team Squirreled War 3.

At a local thrift store today, the young man at checkout asked me about discounts I might qualify for, "are you a veteran, or just a regular old senior?"

Locust Borer Beetle (Megacyllene robiniae) (native to Idaho), are covering my Ericameria nauseosa (Rubber Rabbitbrush) (also native to Idaho), feasting on the pollen, face down, one licking pollen off its front claws. Their coloring mimicks wasps (as seen in last picture), that also eat the pollen.

Getting ready to turn the soil over, pull weeds & plant these drought tolerant Idaho native perennials in the back yard. I'm already tired after thinking about pulling the weeds. Shocked I haven't killed the plants I bought last spring for this project. Cool enough to start now, &only one fowl left.

This is gold! 🤣🤣🤣

After a challenging & exciting eight day workshop, with long studio sessions with both figurative & literal hills to climb, I'm thankful for my cell phone that allows me to call my husband in the living room to ask if there's still fresh coffee in the pot before I get out of bed after sleeping in.

Mt. Rainier today.

Long days, with a few expected cuts; I learned a lot and had an amazing time at Pilchuck Glass School. Made it through security at SEA, and treated myself to a dark chocolate toffee. Homeward bound.

The view is veiled in a salty mist. Pilchuck Glass School.

There hasn't been a bad sunset yet. Pilchuck Glass School.

Great first day at Pilchuck Glass School. Great, creative people, beautiful campus. Looking forward to learning hammer and hardie with Italian smalti and stone.

Chonky bears for your viewing pleasure.

Studies show that watching a beaver eating cabbage lowers stress levels by 15% so enjoy 😊

I love this for him.

Very sad news. This is truly a loss that will be felt by so many, from every walk of life. Dolly Parton's music and philanthropy have made the world a much better place, and will continue to improve lives. She was an inspiration.

They have every intention to cheat and cause chaos during the midterm elections.

Regular gas is now $4.59 a gallon at my station. Up over $.60 a gallon from 3 months ago, it went up ten cents this morning. That's money that won't be spent on restaurants, movies, clothes, trips, hotels, etc, all while expenses for those businesses go up as well. The economy is at a tipping point.

Saw a mule buck at the Idaho Botanical Garden on Sunday. He's a 2x3, still in velvet. He was enjoying the mountain ash berries.

This is the cookie jar that kills you in your sleep.

Maybe the Navy could just hang a big tarp in front of the aircraft carriers with a picture of a WW2 carrier for Trump to see.

If this report is true, Trump official Michael Boren is using the U.S. Forest Service as his personal firefighting force, and is abusing his position. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

Horrible wildfires are devastating communities across the country, including in Washington state, where powerful blazes are burning right now. These are the communities that were promised federal money to help prevent and fight these fires. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Watched a hunting expedition in one of the flower pots I planted at Clairvoyant Brewery. The praying mantis got soooooo close, creeping silently along the Prince's Plume branch, but the grasshopper lived to see another day.

Following the Lockerbie bombing, Congress passed a law stating that if the government has information so troubling that it causes them to change travel or other plans, the government MUST inform any Americans who cold be impacted. Trump skipped of AF-1 without a word. Unethical. Illegal.

My heart goes out to Spokane and Twin Falls.

They're laying the groundwork to challenge midterm elections.

Not good.

My other kitty keeps climbing the shirt I hung over a chair as I'm folding laundry.
