I began my Jacquie Lawson 2025 Advent calendar yesterday. My grandchild was here after school and she found the Snowball Fight game. I didn't even know it was on there! She was better at that than I am, but I was better at the Ornament Match 3 game. Childlike fun, and I'm loving it.

We had a lot of snow last night, so I'm sending Roses for the Soul some brilliant color and thoughts to offset all the white. I honestly can't recall whether I got most of these photos here on Bluesky or from some other sites devoted to blossom. No matter, I'm grateful to have them for the collages.

I was shocked awake at 4:30 a.m. because we had heavy snow overnight--wait, stay with me!--I forgot that the condo crew would be shoveling walks/driveways first thing AM, and my cameras were yelling, "Danger! Danger Will Robinson!"
Might have to change that notification tone.

I picked up my grandchild at school at 4. Snow began falling at 5. 45 mins later and it's covered everything and traffic is snarled. Don't know how her dad is gonna get here to pick her up!

Morning Christmas Tree vs Cats Destruction Count: the tree itself is encased in a giant clear plastic sack so they can't climb it or grab the ornaments. It's tied down so they can't knock it over! But the tree skirt's been pulled all over and the tiny Christmas Village is missing several pieces.

It's very cold here and we're expecting more snow tonight, so instead of snowy garden scenes, I chose really bright collages for Roses for the Soul. Just looking at photos of nature can have the same effect as being out in it, so may these lovely pictures brighten your day.

I believe it was Janet Nestor who shared this Gratitude Challenge. But lead up to the Christmas holiday is always a little rough for me, so I'm beginning it today, December 1st. Join me?

I can't recall where I got this, but I think it is the funniest Christmas card I have ever seen in my life.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Well, the threatened snow barely arrived, but boy! Is it COLD out there, with terrible winds. So, brightly beautiful flowers and auroras for Roses for the Soul; we need the beauty. Most of these photos were garnered and gratefully used from Bluesky posts.

The snow was supposed to start here at 10:00 a.m. It finally started about an hour ago, but it's making up for lost time!

I have both a cousin and a good friend, each named Karen, and they are both sick and damn tired of having their first name used as a filthy slur.
Please stop doing it!

Finding the Word of Your Year
What if I decided to forego a resolution, yet chose just one meaningful Word to focus on throughout the coming year?

I was out w/friends when a woman, a stranger, came up to me, asked me if I still had 'the orange cat'. Turned out she was from my neighborhood back when I was trying to find a home for Puffy Socks using NextDoor. I explained that he had passed, but he was the best cat I ever had; that I had (1/2)

We are heading into a snowstorm here today, so I decided that Roses for the Soul desperately needed some bright spring flowers to counteract the weather. Lovely photos that were found here on Bluesky and combined to make these pretty collages.

It's rather "Trump's Ear", isn't it?
Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.
It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.
Now the NG is not leaving DC.

Trump vows to 'permanently pause' migration from 'third world countries' after National Guard shooting
The president called for "reverse migration" in a lengthy social media post late on Thanksgiving and said that he wanted to deport anyone "non-compatible with Western Civilization."

I was absolutely determined to participate in the economic blackout but we've got winter storm coming in. I have to get out to buy at least cat food and cat litter today. To mangle Shakespeare, Thus does weather make cowards of us all.

We are facing a winter storm, so I wanted something very not-wintry for the Roses for the Soul group. Enjoy these lovely memes and flower photos. Most of these I found here posted on Bluesky and I gratefully use them to create these collages to lift hearts and spirits.

Such an uncomfortable Thanksgiving. My daughter, her husband and my grandchild weren't invited to our family Thanksgiving, so of course I had to abstain, too. Went with them to his family's Thanksgiving, but they've had major disagreements and they're all Trumpers. I felt lost and so very sad.
