Beautiful sunrise this morning although it’s going to be another 100 degree day

Not everything in the late summer garden has given up in the heat. There are a few hardy plants still thriving

Happy Andy Ogles got primaried day to all who celebrate! His loss gives me an ever so slight, yet ever so real, glimmer of optimism!

I am not a fan of hot weather. We have now reached that portion of the summer where I am kept alive only by lying in front of a fan and consuming quarts of unsweetened iced tea.

The Heritage Foundation paid JD Vance to support their extremist positions while Mike Johnson is just crazy for free. I think about that all the time.

Lilies!

The tit-for-tat between the ketamine king and the orange nightmare is entertaining and almost makes me want to be on X or Truth Social, but then again, not really. Let them implode.

St Louis was hit! Bad storm - right through Forest Park.
