I’m in the US where deer population get out of control. Hell no to fox hunting. We just had one in our yard in the city this morning. Delighted to see it. Nobody is eating Fox. Thanks.

Found this single Calendula growing in the garden. I had difficulty getting them stated by seed this year in another part of the yard. This one decided to bloom when the Midwestern weather of the past would have been too cold. #globalwarming #gardening #calendula #fallblooms

I’m having a hard time getting into the Fireman but have enjoyed the rest and of course the tv series. There’s a new Joe Hill I noticed on Amazon

So beautiful.

I was against hunting until one of my college students wrote an essay on the role of hunters in conservation. Not only animal conservation but plants and trees. The over population of deer kill the undergrowth and the tree canopy. Everything in balance.

Have you read Joe Hill?

My hearing aids are blue tooth. I can crank the tv up in my hearing aids and not bother anyone.

I taught college English students to explore all of the sources they wanted to use in an essay and write an annotated bibliography explaining why they trusted those sources. Hardest part of the class for all of us. I’m hoping they are using those critical thinking skills now

I ordered recycled paint from Tomorrow’s Artist. They advertise as preventing house paint from going to the landfill. They process it, it’s non toxic, & repackaged. I’ll post when I get it in a few days. Anyone else tried this or other recycled or upcycled paints. #paint #artists #TomorrowsArtist
