The sky this morning when I got up.

The Autumn 🍂 music 🎶 makers are out now at early morning and at dusk in the evenings.  🦗  🦗 I can hardly wrap my little challenged mind around another change in seasons already. I’m  thinking about one gallon pots and cold seasons vegetables 🥗 for the first time in years. I  should say I think about a little container gardening ever year but it has been years since I’ve actually felt like physically I may actually be able to pull it off. 😁. It would be fun to try anyway.   

I played in the kitchen a while today.  I made Cinnamon Swirl Bread, but of course, me being me, forgot to do the 'swirl' part when I put it in the pan.  It still tastes delicious.  :D

Wild Woman Sisterhood:

Every minute someone leaves this world behind.

Age has nothing to do with it.

We are all in this line without realizing it.

We never know how many people are before us.

We cannot move to the back of the line.

We cannot step out of the line.

We cannot avoid the line.

So while we wait in line:

Make moments count.

Make a difference.

Make the call.

Make priorities.

Make the time.

Make your gifts known.

Make a nobody feel like a somebody.

Make your voice heard.

Make the small things big.

Make someone smile.

Make the change.

Make yourself a priority.

Make love.

Make up.

Make peace.

Make sure to tell your people they are loved.

Make waves.

Make sure to have no regrets.

Make sure you are ready.

This world will often leave you wishing you had just 5 more minutes. Feel free to share this powerful reminder on perspective and wake up each day realizing it is a gift and to make the most of it!

Such an example of kindness, love, and generosity.  She will be missed by so many.

I had my regular eye exam yesterday, and has been the case since I started wearing glasses years ago, I have to have a new prescription.  I am excited about the new lens (won't be here for about a week) because they are supposed to be better for reading, which I do a LOT of EVERY DAY.  And I am getting some new frames as well.  I'm always relieved when I have my appointments behind me.

 We had a little rain this morning, for which I am immensely grateful!  My heart and soul end up feeling parched when we go very long without rain.  Some of my friends tease me about my love for storms/rain/the changing seasons.  I have been struggling with a little raised, shabby plastic garden bed which has given me a few cherry tomatoes and, oh what is the name of the little flowers? Sometimes words just make a mad dash from my mind.  Oh well, it will come to me.  Anyway the little MARIGOLDS (see, I told you it would come to me) offered me some really cheerful blooms until some critter decided it needed to eat the blossoms.  And of course the deer eventually found my two little cherry tomato plants and dined on them.  I even planted (in the ground) some zinnia seeds, a few of which germinated and were budding when the deer found them too.  Oh well, maybe next year.

(Women Forward):  Bulldozers are now tearing through Mariscal Mountain in Big Bend National Park on the Trump administration's orders.

Local advocates have warned that continued construction will irreversibly damage archaeological sites and sacred land within Big Bend.

Trump's contempt for American land and wildlife is staggering.

Our poor country, our poor planet and all that still survives on it are under severe attack.  

This is just sick.......

• "Trump announced his administration is rolling back protections under the 1973 Endangered Species Act, claiming “radical climate activists” had exploited the law to unreasonably block oil, gas, timber, housing and military activities. The change relaxes the legal definition of “harm” to habitats, reversing an interpretation the Supreme Court upheld in 1995 to protect spotted owls; Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the law had become a “regulatory trap,” while Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said it would benefit fishermen burdened by broad regulations. Environmental groups strongly condemned the move: Earthjustice’s Kristen Boyles said there’s no scientific, legal, or public support for it, and advocates from Oceana and the Center for Biological Diversity warned it could be a “death sentence” for species like monarch butterflies, wolverines, and Florida manatees, since habitat loss is the leading cause of extinction. The rule change was first proposed last year and formally adopted in July before Trump touted it publicly this week."  Aaron Parnas
