Kansas to Belgium with stops along the way. More likely to reply/like than skeet, since most of you say it better/funnier than I can. True blue, both politics and baseball. I confess to being earnest - I think it's important.

Wonderful writing! It is amazing how sports can bring people together, and make you feel part of a community. I was rooting for the Jays, but guess it wasn't meant to be. You reminded me that the feeling of being part of a team goes far beyond the game, so thank you for that.

Let's hope that the generation that produced a leader like Mamdani can restore the values of compassion and idealism that are being stolen from us. 🙏

Cartoon with the Statue of Liberty in the foreground; she's crouched on the ground, empty handed except for a sign saying 'Give your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.' In the background is Zorhan Mamdani, holding her torch aloft. Trump Tower looms behind them, black on the horizon.

Anyone who spends any time around animals knows that they feel deeply. You're right, this picture captures that perfectly.

😮I'm surprised she's managed to evade capture for so long. She must be a clever girl.

That's so sweet of you to think of me! And you're right, I did like it! I would love to see one on that scale - I've seen 'mini-murmurations' here, but never a huge one like this. I can only imagine how awe inspiring it would be! Thanks, and have a great day! 🥰

I love chickpeas, so any recipe featuring them is a winner for me. Great combined with spinach, and very quick and easy! The first recipe I used didn't use the curry spices or coconut milk (add some lemon juice) but this version is a bit more fancy.

Aw, thanks! You could probably find a better picture just by googling, but then you would lose that blurry and slightly overexposed authenticity!

Yes, isn't the name brilliant? You're right, it was a tricky shot to get - I just did my best! Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday! 🥰

I'll cheat a bit here and use an image from the internet!

Pink berries (fruits) dangle from a green stem with green leaves. The berries have a special shape, round but with indentations dividing it into four sections.

Breneke @breneke.bsky.social · 2d

It's not completely closed - you can see a little bit of the berry already. But the form of the hat which gives the plant it's name is more obvious in this (poor) photo. It was difficult to hold the camera in one hand, the berry in another, and get a good picture!

The berry of the Kardinaalsmuts plant which is just beginning to open. Fingers are holding a magenta colored berry to show it's underside. The opening (split) looks yellow because that is the color of the seed.

This beautiful plant is called Kardinaalmuts (Cardinal's Hat) in Dutch, because the unopened fruits of the plant resemble a Catholic Cardinal's hat. Here the berries have sprung open, revealing the yellow seeds inside. The following post shows the berry still closed. #MagentaMonday #bloomscrolling

Bright magenta 'berries' on a brown twig. The berries have popped open to reveal yellow seeds. The leaves of the plant are a deep reddish brown color, and the background foliage is green.

Hopefully they learned their lesson with India. Players aren't always interchangeable pieces you can just move around whenever you want.

I have made leaf-mould, Amanda. Turns out that the mice like to nibble their way into the bags. I guess it's warm and cozy there in the winter, so I didn't mind.
